The Route of the Hiawatha – The Dark, Cold Tunnels

July 14, 2011August 10, 2021 Mallory 2 Comments Cycling, Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures
Train Trestle Hiawatha Bike Trail

A Moment of Terror on the Route of the Hiawatha – Dark, Cold Tunnels! Suddenly everything went dark. A sense of unease came over me. It was cold and I could barely see. I was afraid and wanted to stop but I had to keep moving for fear that someone would run in to me. […]

The Route of the Hiawatha – The Trailhead and Trestles

July 13, 2011August 10, 2021 Marlene Leave a comment Cycling, Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure

The Route of the Hiawatha is the “Crown Jewel” of the Rails to Trails System. With that said, the Hiawatha lived up to its reputation as a spectacular bike ride through the rugged Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho and Montana. After a pleasant stay in historic Wallace, Idaho, we drove out of town 20 miles on […]

Grizzlies on the Prowl! How to Identify Bears Video

May 28, 2009September 25, 2014 Marlene 2 Comments Bear Encounters, video

The bears are out and about again and making the news! They have been roaming around the valley killing chickens on Foothill Road, and taking cover from border collies in a basement in Choteau.   While on a recent outing to the Sun Road, Grandpa Davey captured some great video of a black bear, which […]

It’s Ice Fishing Time!

December 17, 2008December 17, 2014 Marlene 1 Comment Miscellaneous

I must admit the thought of drilling a hole into a frozen lake and waiting to catch a bunch of little perch didn’t appeal to me until he started coming home with some nice sized Northern Pike. Unlike perch which I think aren’t worth cleaning, the pike are large enough to fillet and make a […]

The Wind – Scenic Point Trail Video

December 7, 2008June 14, 2012 Marlene Leave a comment video

This is a 30 second video taken on August 25, 2005 on the Scenic Point Trail as referred to in my article, The Otters Return to Glacier. M was 8 years old, and E was 7. The wind was blowing from the Plains so hard that it was kind of scary thinking they would be […]

Did RMKK Make a Difference?

December 4, 2008April 19, 2013 Marlene 2 Comments Hiking

  By M Before Rocky Mountain Kids Korner went online, Glacier National Park was essentially a retired baby boomer paradise. It was unlikely to see people under 45, and even more unlikely to see a child. On the trails, we saw numerous 50+ patrons of the park, but we seldom saw young adults and kids! […]

Too Much to Bear

September 30, 2008August 10, 2012 M and E Leave a comment Bear Encounters, Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

This article is a lesson to all bears: Don’t go into town, or this might happen to you.     Our studies were finished at last, so we decided to take a walk. Maybe there would be a little adventure outside of the boring life at home. As we started out on our walk we […]

The Blood Red Moon

February 26, 2008August 28, 2012 M and E Leave a comment M & E's Excellent Adventures

One day in mid-February, we knew that with the coming of night, something very interesting would happen. It was the day of the lunar eclipse. The moon would turn red. That morning we prepared for the exciting night to come, by visiting a website explaining all about lunar eclipses. After dinner, we went into our […]

M&E: Kids in the City!

January 10, 2007March 31, 2017 M and E Leave a comment Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

A couple of days before New Year’s, we left on our trip to Spokane. We wanted to eat at Popeyes, and we wanted to ride escalators. By the time we were ready to go, it was around noon. Dad drove past Flathead Lake, then headed towards the town of Paradise, Montana. It was very pretty […]

Hikers Experience Avalanche in Glacier National Park

May 30, 2006March 31, 2017 M and E Hiking, Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

One day we all decided to go hike up to Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park. The Avalanche Lake trail is steep uphill, and has very vertical downhill. We tried to be fast and pass people, while our parents were normal and slow. At the lake we skipped stones, ate a snack, and enjoyed the […]
