Good morning, I just made a more thorough, separate post on my "Thoughts on Upcoming Hiking Trip (Sept. 8-15)" My return to Glacier (much anticipated) comes in roughly 2 1/2 weeks (September 8-15). *I am very aware of and staying up-to-date on conditions relative to Howe Ridge and western ...

Good afternoon, My name is Sean. I used to frequent this site several years ago (~2007-2010) and am glad to see that discussions are still alive and well here! :D I have been to Glacier three times (2006, 2008, and 2013) and have hiked many of the most popular day hikes (Avalanche Lake, Hidden Lake ...

I'm glad to hear you all enjoyed the photos. It's not the same as Glacier at all but stunning nonetheless. Rose, I hope you do get to visit Arizona/Utah next year...there are so many beautiful places in those areas. I hope that doesn't mean you won't make it to Glacier! :D Jen, those actually were n...

Hey guys! Unfortunately, I was not/am not able to be in Glacier this summer. My family chose a trip to northern Arizona. We spent 6 nights in Flagstaff in late May/early June and had a fantastic time. I hiked much less than I normally do on my trips but managed to put in almost 50 miles anyway, most...

Great shots! I just love that second one with the colorful, rounded stones!

Wow, I don't know which one is my favorite...they are all spectacular! Wonderful job & thank you so much for sharing.

I think we have another addict! :arrow: Glad that your first trip was great and that you tried different things. PIctures! We want pictures! Ditto! :D I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed your trip and had wonderful weather. Seeing the cow and baby moose to end your last hike certainly is a great way to...

What a beautiful morning...wish I was sitting on the shore right now!

I would say Silver Dollar Beach.

I was checking the Lake McDonald webcam and thought the scene was very nice...

Man, these shots are spectacular! It is definitely worth getting up early when in Glacier!
