Glacier National Park Chat

Thanks, Excellent! Great info about the ptarmigans! looking at photos you may be right that is extra special... possible the marmots wanted to eat the chicks, i have heard they might have been just chasing them away from the grasses they both like but seems very probable they would eat a tiny chick,...

While i know the big suggestion is the Highline we really enjoyed going up to Piegan Pass instead. Multiple Glaciers, very few people, and you get to walk a couple miles on the CDT... Some start at Siyeh bend, go over Siyeh pass and down to Sunrift Gorge, seemed like most of the few hikers we saw we...

Great photos! Clyde is looking well. we finally went and took a look at the snow here, a good 10+ feet in the mtns, ours is already melting, looks like you will be socked in for awhile yet...

That is GREAT advice THANKS!!

Hey PeteE! /so far only minimal snow in Yosemite Valley, but we'll go up to the Sierras and see how deep the snow is next month.. looking good this year... Rox and i got a permit to do a 4 day backpack in July over Kearsarge Pass, one of the most beautiful areas

Did the 2018 Howe Ridge fire affect the Fish Creek Campground?

fortunately like the last big fire near there it was also east of the campground by a few miles so no damage.

hooray! my pleasure, i like trying to fill in the information gaps

We thoroughly enjoyed Fish Creek Campground, stayed for 3 nights at 2 different campsites. It looked like some of the families there didn't even leave the CG area it is so nice... It seemed like the sites on the outer side of the loops had a little more privacy than the inner parts of the loops. For...

i imagine most people carry telescoping trekking poles they can travel with these days, but since we normally use giant hiking sticks that were not great for air travel we got dollar store mops in Whitefish. The handles worked well for hiking sticks, like little trekking poles... gave them to some f...

Wow what a collection of photos! // and hilarious reply PeteE - yeah, a Ham sandwich is appropriate haha

Great video, and i enjoy your narrations.. that line where the pines stop is interesting

thanks for the report, hope you can get some photos up...

can't seem to find a way to get Google Photo;s pics to work here..

have same problem ...best i could do was post links, if you figure it out please let us know how you did it thanks

victory!! i think the Parks are better than most govt organizations at listening to us folks who use the Parks. Good job everyone who complained!

oh gosh// i could show you some VERY improper use of bear spray if you want./// i attended one of our Berkeley riots for the purpose of filming these idiots in action// i didn't get hit directly but EVeryone got covered in pepper. Pretty surreal scene when people start unleashing that stuff on crowds.
