In my article “100 years of Grandeur”, I refer to Mary Roberts Rinehart and her eloquent expressions of Glacier National Park. She said, “There is no voice in all of the world so insistent to me as the wordless call of these mountains. I shall go back. Those who go once always hope to go back. […]
I Wanted to be Attacked by Marmots This may sound strange but I was actually looking forward to being attacked by marmots at Piegan Pass. Fending off these furry little critters can be kind of scary, though. They are just so darn fearless and their teeth are huge. I’m never quite sure if they are […]
I’m stumped again. Can anyone tell me what type of pine cone this is? I had never seen cones like this before. My husband spotted these little doozies on our hike last Saturday. I was up ahead on the trail and he called me to come back and take a look. He seemed really impressed and […]
Typically we think of Mother’s Day as breakfast in bed and dinner at a nice restaurant. Moms love to escape the kitchen once in a while, and certainly do appreciate a meal away from home; especially one that she doesn’t have to cook! Nevertheless, wouldn’t it be fun to surprise Mom by taking her “out”? Outside, as […]
Hiking the Strawberry Lake Trail and Having Lunch in a Strawberry Patch Finally, we reached the alpine lake at the top of the mountain. Mom led us to a clearing with short bushes surrounding us. It was protected from the harsh wind and it was the best place in the whole area to eat […]
Sunday was the final day for vehicular traffic along the west side of the Going to the Sun Road from Avalanche Creek to Logan Pass. We took our final drive of the season on Saturday up to the pass and hiked out to Haystack Butte via the Highline Trail. It was a popular day […]
Marlene at Siyh Pass with views all the way to the Great Plains by Marlene We took a day hike to Siyeh Pass in Glacier last Saturday. Summer is coming to a close and we’re trying to get in some of those high country hikes before the snow flies and makes the higher elevations inaccessible. I […]
A couple of summers ago, my family and I passed a man with a sprained ankle on the Highline Trail in Glacier National Park. As we were just beginning our hike on this popular alpine trail, he was almost done. At first I thought he must have hurt himself on the trail, but after inquiry, […]
Now that it’s warmer, the return of insects is a sure sign of spring. To E’s chagrin, moths are hanging around the back door causing her anxiety every time she wants to come and go. Flies are starting to buzz about and one unlucky house fly came in through a vent hole in our storm […]
One morning, around the breakfast table, I was reminded of a comment my daughter M made about her preference to do a page of long division than to take a hike. This is a pretty strong statement, considering the mention of division may turn her from Miss Jekyell to Miss Hyde. For a moment, […]
