Mountains here we come

Open day for weather: We always plan on a midweek day to be a rest/weather day. Rain and wind can make hiking unsafe. If this happens, we’ll be chilling to a Plan B—which could mean stay in cabin, or drive somewhere, enjoying scenery from the vehicle.

Departure day: Flights to Orlando leave by 6:00 AM, or early afternoon. West Glacier is 45 minutes from airport. St Mary is 2.5 hours. Many Glacier is three hours. Arrive airport minimum two hours before departure. Allow ample time to return rental car, check luggage, and get through security.

Going home to Glacier

Earth is home. So this is home.

Home, Walt Disney World, goes everywhere i go. Even here.

One of the least traveled trails.

Been a long day and looking forward to a good night’s rest.

It’s exciting (now, just before bedtime) thinking about tomorrow’s second brainstorming round to scale processes for others to use as a decision-making guide.

Shining Mountains

Person with a bicycle in the mountains
We did it one Summer together. Another Summer i went solo.

The 17-minute video is worth it if you follow climate change. Also worth it if you follow Glacier.

Worth it too if you like watching people do stuff that seems impossible, like visiting all 26 remain glaciers in GNP, in 12 days.

Continental Divide karma

Easily 20 miles by trail from the last post’s location. As the crow flies, maybe two miles. Note: Same Continental Divide, different day and location.

What my family sees as routine (yet always special) is to a first-time family, breathtaking.

You cannot walk along the Continental Divide on the western side, near sunset, and not have your breath taken away by the altitude, solitude, and gratitude.

Impossible?

Unless your the Grinch.

Cloud watcher

33-second video: June 1 isn’t the start of Summer, but it’s close enough. Clouds are different in Summer. Most are auditioning to be a thunderstorm.
Sanibel Island sunset from our annual Summer trip. Hurricane Ian destroyed the place. The owner is not rebuilding.

Booked next Summer’s National Park Lodges this morning at 2:00 AM.

Awoke at midnight Eastern Time and logged in to the Lodging site only to realize it opens at midnight Mountain Time.

Sleep was interrupted twice.

Per usual, within minutes there are only crumbs of Lodge availability.
