Attention: You Are in Bear Country

Glacier07I spent this past labor day weekend with two of my absolute favorite people, Noah and Eva. They picked me up from Great Falls, MT and we spent about 4 days in pristine Glacier National Park (northern Montana) and Waterton Lakes National Park (Canada). Vacations don’t get much better than this. We’re already talking about exploring more of the park next year! Here are some highlights…

  • 130 photos
  • 11 videos (displayed with TubePress, of course)
  • hanging out with Noah, Eva, and James Bond
  • about 23 miles of hiking
  • seeing a full-grown GRIZZLY about 50 yards from us
  • other wildlife: mountain goats, long horn sheep, lots of deer, a marmot, pikas, ground squirrels, a bald eagle
  • saying “that’s what she said” in response to any statement including the words “hard” or “long”
  • swimming in 50 degree water
  • taking a ferry ride from Canada to the US and back
  • 4 nights: 3 different cabins and 1 “lodge”
  • 1700ft hike first thing in the morning
  • watching Noah furiously chase down a plastic bag that I managed to leg go of in the wind
  • seeing the glaciers that according to computer “modules” will be gone by 2030 :(
