Cheryl out West, in Glacier, for five weeks.

Last year Cheryl came out for four weeks. Year before that, three weeks. Before that, just one week for the annual family week.

So five weeks is remarkable.

i love it!

It’s perfect.

13-second video: Time-lapse at Logan Pass.

We left the cabin at noon to drive West towards Siyeh Pass trailhead. Spent time at and near Wild Goose Island.

As we basked in 60-degrees and sunshine, thick clouds slowly rolled our way — as forecasted.

No-brainer to cancel today’s hike. We drove past Siyeh Bend and found a favorite pullover just East of the East Tunnel.

The time-lapse (above) was inspired by funky and low clouds slithering over Logan Pass from the West.

Day seven, today. Foliage Bend.

One last look at Hurricane Ian’s projected path. We’ll loose signal for two hours.

Would not be disappointed if our home’s projected hit weakens.

Mountain Lake
Hidden Lake.

Hidden Lake trail, well past the overlook.
18-second video: From the popular Overlook, the trail drops another 1.2 miles down to Hidden Lake ’beach’.
36-second video: Ian is weighing heavy. But not heavy enough to buy an early plane ticket home.

Hiking is walking, outside.

You do not need mountains, deserts, or beaches to ”hike”.

You simply need two fundamentals:

  1. Walking
  2. Outside

You can hike (walk) alone or with others. Doesn’t matter.

Here’s what matters: An object in motion tends to stay in motion. An object at rest tends to stay at rest.

Four people next to a mountain lake
This is so far into the wild it’s remarkable.
9-second video: Fun. Creativity. Nature.

14-second video: We did not expect the sun to light the entire lake.

The beauty today is built on patience, presence, and positivity.

Patience drove today’s experience.

Because we had no desire to hurry, we stayed at Grinnell Lake long enough to want to stay longer.

We did not want to leave.
