Ranger talks don’t have to be boring. They can be interesting, informative, and fun – especially if your ranger is a vivacious young lady like the one that lectured us about Glacier’s ravens. After introducing herself, she asked the question, “If you could be any animal in the park, which would it be?” My […]
I love visiting national park lodges and admiring their architecture. And the striking Glacier Park Hotel located on the Blackfeet Reservation in East Glacier, Montana has got to be one of my favorites. The Blackfeet named it “Omahykoyis” or “Big Tree Lodge”. It was built almost a century ago when the Great Northern Railway purchased […]

The rodeo had started off with riveting edge of your seat action and I was captivated. “You don’t even have your camera […]

Every building in the business district of Wallace, Idaho is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the only city in the United States to have this distinction. […]
I stood looking out the window as usual, sizing up the day. It was expected to be a hot one, but by no means as hot as what some folks have been living through. As I stood there, I glanced at my garden and decided that I should pick some ripe strawberries. I also reminded […]
