On a warm Saturday, we began packing our supplies in preparation for our camping trip. The supposed destination was Bowman Lake, a large lake in the northwestern part of Glacier. Dad’s plan this summer was to go to new places and do new things. Camping in this far away place was very different. Anyway, we […]
“Remember,” said M that morning, “It’s the day of the big hike.” E got out of bed, and decided to dress early. We were supposed to hike to Avalanche Lake, where we had previously seen avalanches. But, Dad looked in the newspaper and found out that the Going to the Sun Road was only open […]
Scenes from our adventure to the National Bison Range. Thirty to 70,000,000 buffalo once roamed the plains before man nearly brought them to extinction. Today they no longer face that danger. There are over 140,000 buffalo in North America. Three hundred fifty to 500 of these animals roam over 18,000 acres of beautiful Montana landscape […]
One Friday, Mom mentioned to us that we would go on a snowshoeing adventure at Blacktail Mountain for Winter Trails Day. Saturday morning we woke up to be greeted by Dad saying, “Good Morning, M&E, it’s the day of the big snowshoe adventure.” We got ready, and ate a breakfast of Cheerios and strawberries. At […]
One warm day, we decided to hike up to Mount Aeneas. “M” had car sickness belly-ache from the ocean-like waves in the road heading up to the trailhead. She had a mint to settle her stomach. At the parking lot, a ranger came along, talked a little, and asked us where we were headed. After […]
Camping, Boating, and Bears! (Part Two) We awoke happily after a night of pelting rain, which our dad said sounded like everyone in the campground was clapping. We put on our clothes and exited our tent. We gulped down Boost and ate cinnamon bread for breakfast. Our dad had come on the camping trip to […]
The Great Event For about two weeks, we had been thinking about camping before the great event occurred. Then one cloudy, rainy Friday afternoon in very late August, our dad told us that we could expect to go camping at Many Glacier, leaving the next day. Many Glacier is a particularly beautiful section in Glacier […]
Opening Day at the National Bison Range After a long winter and waiting for the snow to melt, it was finally opening day of the Red Sleep Mountain Drive at the National Bison Range. After driving past the cerulean waters of Flathead Lake, the largest natural, freshwater lake West of the Mississippi River, we headed […]
Just before heading out on the Piegan Pass Trail, in Glacier National Park , our dad read us the stuff about the trail in his trail book. One of the things he said he read was, “Hoary marmots terrorize visitors.” We started down the trail where the clear, shallow, Siyeh Creek ran alongside the trail. […]
Splash Pass (Wow! Free waterpark passes from the library) The next day after having picked up the free passes we had earned from summer reading, we went to Woodland Waterpark. After getting wet in the shower, we headed out into the swimming area, a place full of many exciting watery attractions; like waterslides […]
