East Glacier day 12, home

Sanibel Island sunrise. Sanibel and Glacier have equally stunning sunrises and sunsets. Cheryl in lower right, maybe 2018.

Sanibel Island sunrise walks are a tradition. Shell searching. Soul searching.

Counting today’s two shipped boxes, we have shipped five UPS boxes home this trip.

And, we have donated to Park employees six three-drawer chests and assorted other hiking equipment, etc.

It feels freeing to shed, knowing the biggest shed is Summers in Glacier.

senior couple in Glacier National Park wild goose island
Wild Goose Island, May 2024. Since the blue XL “East Glacier” t-shirt was not an option, got the only other color option, olive.

We check out of Glacier Park Lodge in East Glacier (the town) tomorrow.

It’s been a blessing to spend time here with dear friends who are visiting Glacier for the first time.

May 9. 2024. Divide Mountain. Wild Goose Island. Sun Road open from St Mary to Jackson Glacier Overlook.

In 2024 we visited 100 nights.

Spring trip.

Traditional Summer/Fall trip.

Seasonal appreciation reveals astonishing differences.

These differences massively enhance our appreciation and respect for Glacier’s wild side.

East Glacier day 9, home

man wearing covid mask on a mountain in Glacier National Park
Photo: 2020, wearing the Covid-19 mask simply to identify the year. Masks were required on trails. My favorite Glacier National Park mountain to summit, Mt Oberlin. Over my head is Reynolds Mountain. To the right is Clements Mountain.

Not sure i will get to summit Oberlin this year.

It is what it is.

East Glacier day 8, home

Mid Life Celebration the book by Jeff Noel
Published Thanksgiving Day, 2013. Retired from Disney almost a year later on Halloween, 2014. It was pretty scary to leave after 30 years.

Glacier, thank you for the memories.
