Nice! Stinkin Lincoln. Did you make it to the lake? One of the most overgrown, secluded trails in the park. And what a steep climb to start. The lake is beautiful though.

Yes I made it to the lake and the incredible waterfall . When I worked in Glacier in 1985 we avoided this trail because we felt it would be just a long walk in the woods. Being one of the few day hikes in Glacier I hadn't done I decided to do it in 2012. It was an ENJOYABLE...long walk in the woods. I was rewarded for that steep climb at the start with glorious morning sun slanting through the forest and huckleberries galore

St. Mary's Lake Trail - Glacier National Park. There is a decent trail under all this brush. I don't think this trail gets used much nor much maintenance

some of that might have burned this year.

Trail near McDonald Creek in Glacier National Park. The arch/tunnel dates back to the 1930's I think

some of that might have burned this year.

I saw that St. Mary's Falls area got burnt but haven't seen if it got up to Virginia Falls. This trail takes off from Virginia and follows the south shore toward Red Eagle area.

Okay so not great quality but I'll add a few.

Learning what exposure really means - with a bit of light headedness going from 120' back home to 12,000' in a matter of hours, then seeing SLC that far below me was a quick reminder I wasn't in Appalachia anymore.


The Timpooneke Trail on the way down. How is that pronounced anyways?

Great pics! You soloed that one too, no?

The Timpooneke Trail on the way down. How is that pronounced anyways?

I've always heard people from here (Utah) say it like Timpanookie. That's probably a bit mutilated compared to whatever the true pronunciation is. But I've heard Timp-uh-nee-kee before too.

Thanks Art. And yeah I was solo on that trip. I go solo probably 9 out of every 10 trips.

And thanks @Jackson, I was calling it Timp-uh-NEW-kay in my head. Totally off.

Some of my favorite pics are of trails. so far all pics on this thread are awesome. I hope my additions truly do add something to the discussion.


Switch back up to Gunsight Pass. This was from our Kings-in-a-day-palooza last year!

Here's one from the Ross Dam to Happy Panther trail Out-and-Back in North Cascades:

And here are some from our same North Cascades trip.

The Thunder Creek trail was awesome!


My personal Favorite of the trip. My wife Jo in the Tall Trees.

I like this thread. Good Idea Vegan hiker!
Here's a few from my CDT hike in Colorado

Red Eagle Trail - Glacier National Park. Forest being reborn

 

[chandlerwest]

Observation Point Trail - Zion National Park

 

[chandlerwest]

Crypt Lake Trail - Waterton National Park - Canada. I'm sure many of you have heard of this trail. You need to take a boat shuttle to get to the trailhead. Then to access the lake you climb a ladder and crawl thru a tunnel. The lake sits in a cliff locked bowl and the outlet is an underground stream.

@chandlerwest where is a pic of the lake? Don't get me wrong the trail is awesome, but where's the payoff?

There's not much payoff. I took the pictures 29 years ago and scanned into my computer who knows when, so the quality is not there. Attached are pictures of the falls that emerges from the lake (this shows the basin the lake sits in). The view from the back end of the tunnel. And the lake itself which I needed to tape two photos together to get.
