“He ‘cleans up’ pretty good.

mountain — Lunch Creek is under-rated as a scenic hiking destination.

mountain flowers — i call this section of Sun Road “Daisy Parkway”. Mt Siyeh in background.

mountains and lake — Yesterday’s first look at Wild Goose Island. Too windy to pose Pixar characters.

mountain cabins from across a lake — We’ll be here in a week. In what i call “The Presidential Suite of GNP”.

17-second video: This employee fire pit rock was on loan as my doorstop.

10-second video: Leave no stone ~~unturned~~ lonely.

Day 5 East Glacier, home

30-second video: Some location context.

Inside Out 2 toy figurines — Pixar’s 2024 release. They are parked for now on my room desk.

Apple Watch — Only six miles today. Wasn’t feeling up to the 12 miles required to get to Upper Two Med Lake. All good.

The last thing i wanna do the first few days in Glacier, is overdo it.

Thank you, Universe, for being a great teacher. Your patience is extraordinary.

Person at trailhead sign — Taking these selfies at trailhead signs helps me remember what happened and when.

Hiking trail — First one up here.

Apple compass screenshot — i take photos like this to remind me the elevation of the places i visit.

Apple Watch fitness app screenshot — Let’s round it to 7.5 miles depending on which device you go with. Respectable considering i’ve only been here 14 hours.

Christmas present — This is the lead-in photo for tomorrow’s posts.

Living and breathing Disney creativity for a lifetime makes the process i used last night no more difficult than breathing the air i need to breathe with every breath.

It was a no brainer.

Scenic Point hike.

Capturing for posterity: About 2pm yesterday bumped into Keegan, the Lodge GM, in the lobby and have been reflecting on our conversation. This leads me to say this, my life is my message.
