Glacier National Park Chat

Newsupdate on the manhunt at Mt. Ranier from the Seattle Times. Am sending out prayers for the safety of the park rangers and law enforcement involved in tracking this person through difficult terrain and conditions. Truly heartfelt condolences to Ranger Anderson's family. :cry: http://seattletimes....

And BackAtYa PETE...thanks for sending and sharing the gift of Glacier on Christmas Day! Lovely.

Wishing you and all the GNP Chatters a wonderful 2012!!

I am reading these stories out loud and my husband and I are coughing and gagging from laughing so hard. My face hurts from laughing. Thank you for sharing these stories. They are so funny that they almost make me forget that bear spray is some serious stuff! Brindledog, thanks for "rekindling...

Farmgirl, Thank you for posting about the Polebridge Ranch Cabins...they looked really nice, especially for the $$.8) Many who view this website may typically be reluctant to look at lodging outside the park's hotels for lack of recommendation.

Enjoyed yet another installment of LameVideo...this time it was an "actionflick"! :wink: No kidding, for someone who looks at the GNP Webcam almost everyday and only gets about one snow a year, the park in winter is lovely to see. :D Mike and I met Ranger Doug at Apgar in August. Upon sugg...

Tammy...regarding Smartwool longsleeve shirts as a gift. Great idea in my opinion! I bought this one and two others the first year I was here(2002) Spring sale at Sportsmans Skihaus.

Without the "LameVideo", I'd never get to see the avalanche in "Avalanche". Enjoyed seeing the snow/ice cover on the lake as well. Beautiful pics Pete, thanks for sharing! More LameVideo please!!! Tam P.S. Am thinking of the Smartwool Longsleeve Tee's as Xmas gifts for my grownup...

"Cryin' Christmas Tears"...JayW, you do crack me up!!

OK, so here's a sappy offering for ya (feel free to boo & hiss)...when we lived in Colorado (early 90's), Amy Grant came out with "Tender TN Christmas"...I cried listening to that wishin' that I was back home for the holidays. :cry: Now that I've been home for nearly two decades i miss...

P.S. They have coffee in the gift shop, but it's sometimes much fresher if you walk over to the restaurant... Sometimes MUCH fresher. For those who enjoy a good cup of java, the Two Dog Flats Grill there at Rising Sun had an espresso cart. So I actually was sipping a Mocha Grande enjoying the morn ...

This is my first ever post to a chat so please forgive the awkwardness. Would just like to say how much I've enjoyed reading everyones' comments and shared interest in The Last Best Place!
