Glacier National Park – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

The higher you climb

mountains — There are several ways to get here. Lunch Creek. Highline Trail (no one does it), although some descend to Highline. Piegan Pass to the Pollock-Piegan saddle (lots of mileage). All have thousands of feet of vertical ascent and descent.

man on top of a mountain — The view from Bishops Cap high atop the Garden Wall (aka the Continental Divide). Thank you Steve and Stacy.

The higher you climb, the farther you reach.

Deep.

Or, high.

Or…

Both.

Of course, trails, hikes, overlooks, etc.

Thank you for the memory

18-second video: Humor, anywhere, is under-estimated.

27-second video:

The closest momma and cubs encounter ever.

This ranks up there with:

The late September Grizzly encounter as we descended Piegan Pass.
The momma and three cubs swimming out to a small iceberg at Grinnell Glacier.
The Granite Park Chalet water station encounter where i abandoned everything i ever studied/learned (since 1973) about Grizzly encounters.

Let’s head to the humans

31-second video: Now we know. Cool.

Truer words could not be spoken this day. You hear me at the video’s end saying, “Man, what a treat.”

Random 2025 Glacier video, home

36-second video: For the first time, we see a second bear.

We assumed, hopefully, we’d eventually see two cubs. Seeing the first, its size wasn’t cute and cuddly ‘first-summer cub’ size. This second summer cub is nearing adult size.

Note: Couldn’t wait to tell the Ranger at the Chalet there are two sets of Grizzlies. Turned out we were the first to report all summer on the new, bigger-sized set. And, we have yet to spot the third Grizzly.
