Glacier National Park Chat

HELLO Ms Tammy and Mike! :mrgreen: Yeah the Dragon's Tail would be a great place. And it would be my choice for you IF it's open when you get here in September. https://glaciergeezer.smugmug.com/False-Summit-of-the-Dragons-Tail-7-25-20/n-kVhqp8/i-bVVhkW6/A Big Shoutout to Pete back!! Pedro, Mike an...

Dragon’s Tail! PeteE took us up there and the view is gorgeous! Actually it’s the false summit of Dragon’s Tail. It’s alittle off-trail but not difficult. Away from most of the crowd. An obvious topped out point looking onto Bearhat, Hidden Lake, and Reynolds. I thought it was very special and a pla...

Debby, I am so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. Mike (JustMike) and I send our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Dave, though we never had the chance to meet him and thank him, brought such a gift to our lives. GNP Chat enriched our ‘relationship’ with the park in ways I couldn’t have pr...

Hey J, Sent you a PM r.e. thoughts on a fall Utah trip. Mike and I have really enjoyed being out there that time of year. We happened to be in Zion as late as 2nd week of November and were surprised to see the color at near peak. There's an article in Outdoor Photographer that gives you nearly the i...

Pete, Such thrilling pics!! "True Summit or Bust" , just kidding.... nobody wants you to bust! Great photos of both hikes, out to Sexton Glacier and your efforts at Dragon's Tail. Thanks for all you put in to these reports. It makes for great storytelling and gives the viewer a feeling of ...

Just an update. BA made good on our gummied/sticky copper spur and sent out a new tent/fly last week. Good to Go and just in time! Still no Nemo replacement on the Dagger, glad we weren't depending on that one. ZoZepplin, good luck to you in your fly repairs. I don't know, but assume there are websi...

I have a Big Agnes tent as well and have problems with the zippers. I won't buy another tent from them. Good to know about the water proofing issues on the Dagger 2. Hey Paul, in case you're considering sending your tent in to BA...i CAN vouch for their customer service. Our Seedhouse 2P was so old...

Our BA Copper Spur II had trouble with the zippers AGAIN. Long story but they've replaced a Seedhouse and a C Spur in the past for us r/t the zippers and so you can imagine we are pretty gentle on zipping when on a multi-day trip. Despite a good cleaning each time, the zippers either get warped or o...

Famed #1 Spot at Logan!
It should have a sign by now: "Reserved for Geezer"

Sorry I missed this ND. The pic is a beauty! Love Glacier in its many moods, the low hanging clouds being a feature that takes me right back there.
Great idea for a thread.
Hope others get the urge to throw out some of their old favs.
Thanks for posting!

Beautiful flowers Pete! Really enjoy seeing the colors that are popping right now. Big fan of those mountain bluebells. 8) It’s neat to see the Snowbrush, one year that particular shrub was blooming like crazy just across the walkway from the Lake McD Cabins. Taller shrubs than you Pete and full of ...

Not a perfect suggestion but here's what i would do in a similar situation if those were my dates. Checking the BC availability page for the Belly River area, currently one can secure a two nighter at MOJ for July 9th and 10th. I would take that. So you'd be waiting on the nights of the 7th, 8th, &a...

Pete, that was some exciting meet-n-greet!! :shock: Enjoyed seeing that big boy lumbering about. I imagine he’s enjoying the bounty of glacier lillies as an afternoon snack. Beautiful views up sunrift gorge, am so glad that you had cleared skies. Appreciate seeing what’s in bloom right now. You did ...

Pete,
Noticing alot of 'haze' on the webcams both east and west, esp St. Mary today. Is this from fires in Wash state?
Trying not to bite my nails,
Tam
