Re: Two Weeks in Glacier. I8SumPie (That’s Dirty)

Pocket, dead tree pics are for you. 7/30/11 Red Gap Pass I guess I should write something for this hike. The hike starts at the Apikuni Falls parking lot (or the Many Glacier entrance station) and goes around the east end of the ridge that starts way back at Ptarmegan Wall. If you start at the Range...

Pocket,

Good to see you're out hiking and online again. We'd love to be out there again.

Re: Advice on Red Gap, Belly, Ptarmigan loop

You can ask at the ranger station for fuel. Sometimes people leave behind extra after their trip.

Re: Ptarmigan/Iceberg Trail Status

I'm suggesting hiking through the tunnel and to hike down maybe a switchback or to the bottom of the switchbacks, and then around the north side of Ptarmegan lake towards Crowfeet. I seem to recall that direction being fairly open, but I wasn't looking that direction and mentally picking a route. It...

Re: Ptarmigan/Iceberg Trail Status

Just to throw in a curve ball:

-How about hiking towards Crowfeet and bushwacking down to Ptarmegan Falls or at least the trail.

I haven't done it, and it would probably be a PITA with a pack, but 17 miles is a PITA. A scenic PITA...

Thanks Todd. That photo was supposed to be larger but it didn't work. I'll try again:

Re: Two Weeks in Glacier. I8SumPie (That’s Dirty)

7/28/11 Humping Henkel (That’s Dirty) The neighbor, Keith Hollister, recommended climbing Henkel. “That would be a good one for you.” Justin, his son, gave me the low-down on the route and hinted at going left around the snowfield. When he was talking about how easy the climb was, I was skeptical. Y...

Re: Norris Traverse 8/15-18

Very cool trip. I had to get out a map to follow where you went. On a trip like this, I'd be worried about getting 2-3 days in and finding that I can't get there from here.

Good job,

Jay

Re: Two Weeks in Glacier. I8SumPie (That’s Dirty)

Thanks. Crunching the photos is really time consuming. I'm still playing with the software, so e.g. I tried a HDR on the sunrift gorge shot (the color one) and it looked horrible. (The one in the report is a single shot.) Still, it's interesting to try these things out. The Harley guys were quite fu...

Thanks for the comments. I do like hearing them, particularly what photos people like. Belly River Morning Coffee Each morning, I got up and made coffee. Instead of pulling out the Coleman stove, I grabbed the coffee, electric coffee maker, and headed for the bathroom. I’d brew a pot of water to war...
