I think they might let you put a message up in the front porch of the apgar backcountry office. They might not anymore. You can try going to Freda's bar in West Glacier and putting up a note there. Maybe even ask the bartenders there. All the employees in the area frequent there. You could...

I know this doesn't apply to your trip, but feel like stating this for anyone searching info on this. I went over Flattop again this year, from Packer's Roost all the way to Fifty Mountain camp, in a day. I'll never go up it again. I't one thing to come down that way from Fifty, because it's...

Its pretty hard to do. Hitchhiking is a great option. If you start walking the road from Bowman Lake, cars will have to slow down to avoid hitting you because the road is so narrow. There has been a ton of traffic up there this year, more than i've ever seen. Someone will pick you up if you...

Still crowded. But I don't ever remember having to wait that long for the shuttle. Does seem like more people than ever right now.

Awesome! When were you guys there? Jeff when your old enough, and if your dad will let you, you're welcome to tag along on some of my off trail backpacks up there. I've got plenty planned. Not too many people have the gusto to go. You definitely do. :)

I believe you are right. I had another one do the same exact thing to me in Glacier. Pretty neat.

I was through Boulder pass 2 days ago. There is no snow along the trail. Boulder Peak is an easy scramble, weather permitting. Weather has been all over the place lately. Peabody won't require an ice axe. There is an un named peak between Peabody and the Boulder pass campsite that you...

Haha, I'm probably the poorest guy you guys know. But I'm having the time of my life. I basically live out of my van. But most of my time is spent in a tent in the backcountry. I make less than 5 grand per year. When I need money, I pick up short term jobs with temp service agencies in...

No worries. This last trip down to Jackson wasn't as long as I planned. I'll be back down in a few weeks to work a few days again. I'll meet you at the Silver Dollar. Was times are Happy Hour?

Great write up Keith! No I Blazes? I've sprayed myself with bear spray in a similar fashion before. I was taking my backpack off, and accidentally knocked off the safety of my bear spray in my pocket, which shot directly into my leg. Is sucks. And burns. I had to sit in Mallard Lake for...

Worst day so far. Really windy this afternoon. Jackson is clear now, but any hiking in the area is going to be extremely smokey. I couldn't even see the Tetons or Gros Ventres this afternoon.

I think roots. Definitely not grubs.

Great write up Keith! But you forgot to mention the highlight of the trip! Did you not get a picture of that sighting? :):)

I figured you would know where I was talking about. :) Hoping to pull off a big trip cross country out to Jefferson Pass, then down towards Gyrfalcon Lake, and then down the ridgeline all the way to Dutch Lakes. And hopefully climb all the peaks in between. If we have time, we want to finish...

I think there are 2 fires. Its been smoky off and on in Jackson the last few days. This morning the Tetons were smoked out, as well as the Gros Ventres. Its clear right now though, and seems to clear up every day. I could see smoke plumes rising up earlier from where I was working in Wilson.

Wildlife can be very hit and miss. Vegetation is thick at lower elevations, especially west of the continental divide. You want areas that offer open alpine views. Many Glacier is one of the best places for wildlife. If you have a scope, you can sit in the Swiftcurrent parking lot and scan...

I could see smoke flumes from where I was working today along Falls Creek road. Tetons were very hazy and smokey earlier today. John, want to grab a beer Thursday evening? I work until 6pm-ish. Maybe someplace like Eleanor's? I don't have a phone, so message me on here.

If you make it up to Glacier, i'll buy you a beer. Keep me posted if you want to do any more backpacking. You have an open invite to join anytime.

Nice write up Jon! A complete contrast from the scenery along the mirror plateau. Nice find on that arch. Hope yall are enjoying life in Utah!

What do you do when someone complains about all of the river crossings on a trip? You bring him right back on another trip that has twice as many crossings. :) This is a 4 day backpacking loop in the southern part of Yellowstone National Park. It includes Heart Lake, the Snake River...
