Absolutely. We only venture to the east side on the days the wind is lower. Same with getting on the lakes - especially on the east side - it can really get insanely windy east of the continental divide. Cheers!
I was apprehensive about the wind coming up as the east side notoriously can 😆 and being out on open water. Thankfully our trust in the forecast paid off because as you said, the wind there can be a game changer. Thank you for the comment and sharing your experiences as well 👍⛰
A friend and I are heading out to Glacier third week of August. Been watching a lot of your Glacier videos for trails to do (and ones we know we can't do!). Great videos. Boy, you had a great day for kayaking! You are very lucky in where you live and having a live long hiking companion. Thank, Scott and Kim. From Western PA.
I love that place ❣ I windsurfed there in the mid 90's a few times (once in my birthday suit). Some pictures we took sailing there did well in a Kodak Funsaver photo contest by American Windsurfer magazine... Good times and thanks for sharing your adventure ❣ Aloha from Maui🤙
Ah, this is the perfect place for kayaking. The water is so clear, and the scenery is fantastic. It's definitely something we want to do on one of our next trips. Thanks for sharing👍🙂
The still snow-capped peaks of Glacier were a great accent to this already amazing place. Agreed, Montana boasts some of the best scenery of all! ⛰ Thank you!
We were on the water early after our AIS inspection, 7:30am. I believe we were out about 7 hours including a stop for lunch in our jetboil and lots of sightseeing. We planned to take our time as this place is too extraordinary to rush through. Our kayaks were out of the water by about 2:30pm Thanks!
@@kimberlynolan2745 Thanks Whenever I've taken pictures at the wildgoose viewpoint in the afternoon, big whitecaps were breaking on St Mary's lake--strong west winds, had to hold my tripod to keep it semi steady. You hit it lucky, Did the winds pick-up by 4-5pm
My Wife and I did this a few years ago. very nice lake if the wind is low. If the wind is up beware.

So cool!
Very Nice, You gave us a whole different prospective of the lake that I've never seen. Anytime you guys are ready to change places, just let me know.
Thank you. It’s a great place! Cheers.
Can't wait to catch up on your videos!
Hope you enjoy!

Couldn't agree more! Thank you!
Spectacular Montana scenery as always! Thanks for the map feature so I don't have to pull up OnX Backcountry to check out the locations.
Thank you!

We waited and planned for a day with minimal wind - which can take some patience east of the Continental divide.
On the first day of the opening of the Going-to-the-Sun road to vehicle traffic for the 2024 season, a perfect day in Glacier National Park! ⛰❤
Amen 🙏
