    Glacier Nat'l Park - "The Collector"

    I probably have alluded to this previously but I am proudly declaring it today. I am a "Collector" of Glacier National Park trail miles. Circumstances, desire and life events have blessed me with the opportunity to visit Glacier over a 39 years period. I solely day hike so accumulating miles...

    Glacier Nat'l Park - BCP Fix

    I don't have much of a story to tell and I sort of overdosed on taking pictures on this trip (983) that I wasn't going to do a trip report. But this morning my responsibility to BCP came to me. For six years I have been your supplier of your Glacier National Park fix. I just can't cut you off...

    Glacier Nat'l Park - August 2021 (Fulfillment of a Dream)

    As previously shared I have spent the better part of 35 years visiting Glacier National Park. As a day hiker I am limited to how far into the park I can reach. But I have still managed to hike over 300 miles of its trails. The Middle Fork of the Flathead River provides a natural barrier to...

    Glacier National Park - August 2019

    With @Jeffrey Chandler going off to college and the uncertainty of his future, and the affect this transition will have on my life, we have been looking at this trip as possibly being the last arrow in the quiver. We wanted to make it a GRAND adventure. Our preliminary plans were so exhausting...

    The Chandler Family Get Together in Glacier 2018: Day 1

    August 4th 2018 Despite the Chandler Family Glacier Trip being a bi-annual affair for a few years now, its also been those few years that I have been working as a seasonal ranger during the summer. I was pretty psyched to finally get the chance to go back. So far it seems to be the one perk...

    Glacier NP: June 2015

    This is my first ever trip report, I hope it's not boring! On June 21st 2015, two friends and I left from the Chicago suburbs for Glacier National Park. We decided we're young so we could make the drive straight through, well we did but that was a very rough 27hours! Almost hit about 400...

    7 Day Glacier Trip 2015

    This is the Glacier trip I did last summer with Joey, Dave and Matt. Joey does such an amazing job editing and publishing these videos. They're not just highlights, but the entire adventure. While I realize most people won't spend an hour to watch this in its entirety, you have to acknowledge...

    This is the second part of a two part post about a trip to Glacier National Park by Holly and Tim V. We were camped for a couple of days at St Mary campground on the East side of Glacier. Our particular loop appeared to have been cleared out by a fire at sometime in the past because there was...

    Glacier National Park August 2015 Part1

    There are a lot of photos so I will split this into two parts. My daughter Holly and I continued our tour of the northwest wild lands by driving from Mount Rainier ( see post on hiking forum) to West Glacier where we hoped to hike the well known park day trails but also score on some backcountry...

    Glacier National Park (Chief Mtn. Border to Many Glacier)

    Let me preface this by saying I suck at trip reports and I took the wrong lens for my Nikon DSLR (55-200mm). But here goes.................. So every year I spend at least a week in the Tetons. Sometimes 2. Last year I did an off-trail trip in the Northern section of the park with Joey. After...

    Here is a short report of a 5 day backpacking loop I did in Glacier National Park. Joining me was my youngest brother Andrew, who is exactly 11 years younger than me (we share the same birthday), and his best friend Sterling, who is pretty much like another brother to us. After years of...

    Glacier National Park June 2014

    Scenic Trip Through Glacier National Park in June 2014 My wife, her friend, and I drove from Idaho Falls to northern Montana and spent several days in the park. As we made our way along the Flathead River, it became apparent that the area received a large amount of rain/snow over the past few...

    A Long Weekend in Glacier NP- Part 2

    Sorry for how long this one is. I tried to whittle down my pictures to the best but Glacier provides too many "bests." With my family and friends headed home I was left to occupy more time in Montana. I had several half formulated plans to spend a couple days: day hike in the Bob Marshall...

    Long Weekend in Glacier- Part 1

    After a while patrolling the Cloud Peak Wilderness I had six days off. A glorious chance to rest and relax and recoup! Well sorta. My family was having their annual week long trip to Glacier National Park and if I hurried I could make the tail end of it. So leaving Buffalo WY around 2 with a...

    A couple of Hikes in Glacier NP

    Way back in my previous life I spent a summer living in Glacier Park. I took whatever job was available that would allow me to actually live IN the park. I ended up waiting tables at Lake McDonald lodge. The job was not the best but the benefits were SOOO GOOD. I worked about 3 shifts a week and...

    Glacier National Park and Missoula, Montana May 2006

    The purpose of this trip was 3-fold. First, Alene's brother was graduating from the University of Montana so her family was meeting up in Missoula to attend the graduation. Second, Alene grew up in Missoula so it was an opportunity for her to show me where she grew up. Three, we were going to be...
