- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- This is a 6 day backpacking trip in the upper northwest corner of Glacier National Park starting at Lower Kintla Lake, traversing Boulder Pass to Lake Francis and ending at Bowman Lake. We experience a wide range of weather activity from rain and SNOW during the first half of our trip to hot, humid summer conditions on the second half of the trip. Also, a number of obstacles in our path including downed trees on the trail and snow fields. Will the rain and snow effect our plans/itinerary? Watch to find out…

These spectacular places I will never visit, except for your wonderful videos, thank you
It appears my ending was cut short somehow. For some reason, I had a lot of technical difficulties editing this video, so out of frustration, I'm going to leave it as is. The entire trip is intact. It was just me babbling at the end with an end card and a little music. Basically what I said is as follows: At the end of our trip, Joey rode his bike 15 miles back to our starting trailhead to get the van. It was a rough road and even driving it 15 miles takes approx an hour. He picked me up 3 hours later. Thank you for doing that for us Joey. Also, thank you for the use of your additional, incredible footage. Thank you to Harmony for the hitch! It was a fantastic trip even with all the "weather" and "mosquitoes"! Thank you for watching and I'll see you on the next adventure!
it still pretty much made sense
Good to know. I have a minor case of perfectionism so it bothers me a little, but not enough to have corrected it. lol
The epicness of this video is off the charts. Can't be measured. I was in awe. Fantastic hike Catherine. A funny thing happened. Wifey and myself sat down in front of TV with TV trays to watch the vid and eat our fried catfish filets. Wifey was pouring her tarter sauce in her plate as video started and you showed that amazing rainbow. She forgot her sauce and poured most of the bottle into her plate. We just sat there laughing.
Hahahaaa! Thank you!! That story is so awesome! lol Thanks for sharing it. Glad you two enjoyed the video. It'll be hard for me to top this one. :)
OMG! The view at 28:05 is off the charts. What I'd give to be there with my 5DIV and some good light. Wowzers! One of those trips you never forget.
I usually take a ultralight tarp if there any chance of rain. That way you can keep a fire going and wait out the rain in relative comfort. I have been backpacking for over 50 years.
I'm glad you got to experience life on the trail for a week straight.
It brought back a lot of treasured memories for me, as I've long distance hiked through Glacier a couple of times.
❤ ✌ 👣
The struggles are real and one is always in some form of discomfort, but the epic rewards are worth it.
-Stay adventurous & positive.
I was hoping you would pray, and you did! Thank you Heavenly Father! ........
watching it again.
i did this exact hike (same campgrounds) in 1987 (and climbed Boulder Peak). then did it again in 1996. then did an out and back from Bowman to Lake Francis in 2005, with a visiting couple who went on to Granite Park via Goat Haunt.
thanks for the memories
retired in the Andes. miss Glacier. love exploring new stuff though
Some of the most beautiful country that I have ever seen! Thanks so much for sharing.
I have visited Glacier several times and learned from others that there are fewer bears on the West side of the park. The West side has more trees...the East side is more glacial. Visitors can find great day hikes on both sides. Simply a beautiful video...Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching Diane. We did hear of Grizzly sightings in the meadow where we saw the rainbow, but no sightings for us.
So beautiful! I love Montana. My mom lives just south of Glacier by about 2 hours so I visit every year, but I’m too afraid I’ll meet a grizzly to go too far from civilization! We were there starting July 8th and had perfect weather for a hike to Hidden Lake. Plenty of goats, big horn sheep AND a grizzly off in the distance below and behind the visitors center. Thanks for sharing the back country for those of us too timid!
Hi Kim. Funny enough, when I went to Glacier last year and did not hike. I saw 6 Grizzlies just hanging out around Many Glacier...running down the road, etc. On this trip...6 days in the backcountry, we didn't see one. lol Go Figure. Thank you for watching.
Consider a day hike with Glacier Guides...The Highline Hike is fantastic.
Wow Glacier! Great video, what an adventure. I loved the beautiful high mountain vistas. Joey and you made the right call in waiting out the storm. I've been in those hypothermia conditions and they are no laughing matter.
+Paul Frank thank you! What we didn’t show on camera is how cold I really got on that second night. I was shivering so bad I was shaking. I got into dry clothes and Joey made me some hot soup. He also boiled water that he put in my nalgene and I slept with that in my sleeping bag. That was an eye opener and a big factor in our decision making to stay put another night.
Thank you. Glacier is beautiful!
Yeah, I know, me too. I watch Joey's posting and he hike alone many times. And the most valuable piece of equipment you have with you, is what is between your ears. You always must be evaluating your situation and adapt. He does some also video too.
Another awesome video Catherine, even with the bad weather the mountain scenery was epic!! Don't know if you can get Avon products in America, but please try Avon original Skin so Soft spray. It's a normal skin spray but is excellent at getting rid of mosquitos. Friends used it on an Amazon trip, family have used it in Scotland, where at times mosquitos are a real bummer. We live by the sea here in the UK, and when we're outside till late on summer evenings, we use this, and not one person I know has been troubled by mosquito bites. Anyway! Loving your work, will look out for more vids from you! Thank you for all you do! xx
We truly have an amazing world
Loved it! Thanks for letting us enjoy it too! Good to see that you have good times and bad and don't JUST show the beautiful shots and the fun stuff. Adventures can only occur when you encounter the unexpected!
Thank you Diane. Yes...those hiccups make for great memories and stories. It was definitely the makings for an epic adventure.
Lord! How cool is all that nature!!! Just Beautiful!!!
If wouldn't be too impertinent, I would like to dub you guys the "A" team. You will go where no one else will go!
Awe...thank you Jim! That's pretty cool. :)
You're living the dream. Thanks.
Getting after it to be sure. :) Thanks for watching.
Spectacular even with the weather. Thank you Catherine
I especially liked this trip, beautiful!
Beautiful video Catherine, I have hike lots of times in Glacier. I know the snow fields can be tricky, Glacier has always been my favorite park. Can't wait to be back. Hiking in Montana in a week in the Pintler mountains, part of the CDT. Can't wait to be back to my happy place. Thank you again for your beautiful videos. As always Happy hiking 😊🌲⛰
Hi Cynthia. Thank you. I'm looking so forward to seeing a lot more of the park. Have a wonderful time on your hike!!
He Cat, I have many questions for you and was hoping for a Q & A soon. Maybe Joey could potentially add some of his perspective during that. My questions however are for yourself.
Q 1. Ignoring the obvious new gear additions since hiking with Joey. Has anything changed. The size or amounts of your toiletries kit. Do you bring more things like bandannas, hats, have you changed products. The reason I ask is your traveling now to different parts of the country.
Q 2. Has your lifestyle changed. Exercise habits, food habits. Do you train harder now for upcoming trips. Do you spend more time planning trips. Will you be planning trips to take Joey on. Has there been a big change in social life or none.
Q 3. Is your channel changing. In your opinion. Is it getting bigger. More challenging to express your style, your art. Are things expanding for you creatively. Is it hard to jump all over the place and capture the difference from say Montana to the California. Does any of this change your perspective as an artist.
Q 4. Has their ever been times when following Joey that fatigue and frustration has prevented or hindered your enjoyment or experience. And if so, is it getting easier.
Q 5. Have you experienced a drastic lifestyle change or is it much the same
I hope this hasn’t been to much for question. And hope you might be able to answer any of them in a Q&A video.
Cheers, I am enjoying watching you experience all these new adventures. You love it, I can tell.
+Casper Furlong great questions!! If I don’t get to them in a Q&A soon, I’ll revisit this comment and answer you here. Might just push me to do another Q&A sooner than later.
Been to glacier a bunch of times,and everytime is just like the first.you can never get use to all that beauty. Going to road trip there this September,then down to Yellow stone,,from there over to the salt flats to enjoy speed week
Glacier is stunningly beautiful but when we were there in July it rained and even snowed. Kudos to you for braving the weather and the obstacle courses
We had it all during our trip. lol
Spectacular! We just got back from Glacier, and it was breathtaking. Thanks for the video!
It is the most beautiful National Park I have experienced. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I was at Boulder pass and hole in the wall about six years ago. That is a great outhouse at Boulder. We hiked in August when temps were in the 80s. We hiked from the south end of waterton lakes in Canada. Out and then back.
Thanks for the video. It brings back great memories. Cheers from Alberta.
Glad you enjoyed it and that it brought back memories. I'm looking forward to exploring your country next year. The last couple days were in the upper 80's. I can say now, that I'm glad it wasn't that hot the entire trip. We just had one extreme to another. lol
Now that was awesome! That looked like you guys had one heckuva trip, really enjoyed being there with you. Really enjoyed seeing all the snow, that surprises me considering it’s July! LOL You guys make a great team, you both have crisp and clear voices. I really enjoy your commentary in all of your videos. Thanks for making these spectacular videos!!!
+Loran Danielson thank you for the kind feedback. It was a heckuva trip! Great adventure. I’m glad you enjoyed coming along!
Breathtaking panoramas.
Indeed Lily. Thanks for watching.
Gorgeous! Thanks for taking us along!
This was a great video softy it rained and snowed and sleeted. It looks like fun to do. Glad you had guide with you to hike with. Glad you made it back down safely. Mosquito bites and all. I hope you enjoyed the hike up and the hike back.
Can’t wait til I see the next adventure.
See you soon! Stay safe and safe travels.
Catherine you are a trooper. I have been watching Joey's video's for awhile and love them. I clicked on yours and enjoyed it immensely. I backpacked Glacier in the eighties and I have reservations to Many Glacier Hotel next year. i am too old to back[pack anymore but you did a great job.
Thank you Michael. I'm a huge fan of Joey's videos. I'm glad you enjoyed this. It's a collaboration between Joey and myself, so his footage is throughout the entire video. His shots are the super sharp and steady clips. haha There's still so much you can see in Glacier without backpacking. Please feel free to continue to live vicariously through our videos.
Take a handheld fan! Helps a lot in swooshing the mosquitoes away . Even a large evergreen piece works! 😉
I really enjoy your relaxed pace, and unrushed dialogue. Very pleasant. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Very cool..!
Thank you so much. I think some times the dialogue is too much, but you really have to tell the whole story. Especially, during this trip. I appreciate you watching.
Hiked that same trail last year with a friend from MIchigan, both of us worked in the Park for one of the Concessionaires. Love that lake, we too came across bear activity except ours was a huge footprint and bear scat....but no bear. We hiked to the middle of the bend then it started to pour rain and the sky went dark with thunderclouds so we turned back.
Those mountains are beautiful!
I watched the Yellowstone trip with 5 people and just finished this one. In both videos you hung your food. I though bear canisters are required in both Yellowstone and Glacier. Great videos for each trip.
Wow! What adventures you have had! Thank you for sharing!
OMGosh that is some awesome country...
Thank-you once again.boy l am getting really motivated cya
Wow, you did so good climbing all those downed trees! Not too mention the river and bridge crossings! Good job
I like how Joey is just casually flossing his teeth while you're sitting in that 3rd campsite. lol you guys are so real, it's great. Thanks for another amazing video. jealous of your adventures but glad I get to tag along :)
I thought that was funny too when I watched this back. I didn't even think about it at the time. lol It's a part of the nightly routine. :) Thank you for watching Mary.
Hello Catherine, well you did it again, another awesome video. You are to be commended for your perseverance. It looks like this was one of your more challenging outings for you. Please be safe out there. I look forward to more Catherine 'on the trail' videos.🤗
Thank you Ronald. It was definitely a challenge, but I welcome a challenge as long as I don't feel it's too dangerous. Glad you enjoyed it.
An amazing trip. Very good decision to lay over in the storm. There is too much to lose when you push the envelope and nature is very unforgiving. You had a great partner!
I felt 100% confident in Joey's decision making process. I am so glad we stayed. Although, we might have made it without dying, we would have missed out on those amazing views. It was the right decision. Thanks so much for watching.
Nice video. I live in the kalispell area and have hiked many of the trails but I’m still impressed every time I go there.
Thank you. You are very lucky to live so close to the park. It is truly a magical place.
Great video! We were there around the same time last summer. Glacier is a truly amazing place.
I love Glacier!
Smiling ear to ear watching this video! I love Glacier National Park and if we get back in 2023 I have to make sure we rent something bigger than a Prius! We didn't dare travel the up to Kintla trail head last time because the car had bottomed out on pavement! I am so glad the weather cleared up for you! Hope you didn't wind up donating to much blood, the bugs are bad here too! Looking forward to more of your adventures!
Yes, that Kintla Lake road is horrible. Joey had a heck of a time on the bike ride to pick up the van. The mosquitos LOVED me!! Joey might have only gotten one to two bites. I was covered in them. I used Picaradin and Deet, too! It didn't matter one bit to them. lol I'm so glad the video made you smile. Thank you for watching.
Hello from NM. Awesome thanks for all the beautiful views 😀 enjoy
Girls got game. Joe better watch out. Great job guys.
haha...this was definitely a collaborative effort. Thanks so much!
Haha she beat u 2 it joey! Awesome viewing thanku Catherine love it!
Thank you Nathan!!! Joey is now well entrenched into backpacking season. He left on an 8 day trip 2 days after this one and will be out a day and then on another 10 day trip. He's been on non-stop back to back trips with maybe a day or two between. Unfortunately, that doesn't give him time to work on the videos. He's accumulating quite a back log. I think he might have a bit of a break after his next trip, so maybe we'll see something new by the end of the month. :)
Very beautiful video Catherine! Wow, you are getting in some awesome and challenging trips this season. I'm sure you were a little "mellowed out" after six days in the wild. Again another great video!
Hi Bryan! Thank you! I would have loved to have stayed out even longer. I was definitely finding my groove out there. I'm going to watch your new video tonight!
Crazy. I started a trip there this summer July 6 from Many Glacier to Polebridge, can’t believe I just missed all this weather!
It made for an awesome adventure, but I probably wouldn’t have missed it had we not gotten caught in it. lol
Awesome views...loved the early flowers. Sorry to see the blow down as it’s always a hassle. ...and that weather always does what it wants, but it makes for tomorrows to look forward to. Glacier is a special place and to see it with someone as Joey does gives a bit more pleasure, another perspective, to the moment. Always a pleasure checking in, seeing where ya been.
Yes...the blowdown was a pain, but honestly...I don't want every hike to be too easy. The challenges are what make it an adventure. Everything was as it was supposed to be. That's kind of my take on life in general. It was really special to experience it with Joey as I know how much he loves it there. He gets pleasure from seeing the joy these amazing places bring to others and especially when they are seeing it for the first time. No regrets. Thanks so much for watching!
Absolutely awesome. So beautiful.
Thank so much!
AWESOME! Keep GETTING UP, GETTING OUT and LIVING LIFE TO ITS FULLEST!
Thank you and great advise. I intend to! :)
Beautiful show Catherine, thank you or taking the time to let us hike along with you and Joey. Always an epic adventure in your world.
So appreciate you coming along and I'm glad you enjoyed it. We had a most excellent trip. Thank you!
Another epic adventure!
It was!! Can't wait for our next one. :) xoxo
floridians know a little about mosquitos . two words - head net something you said near the end reminded me of a saying that i can't remember who originally said it but sounds like something anyone who loves the outdoors might say - when we're home we think of adventure and when we're on a adventure we think of home . kudos to both of you for sharing yours
this is absolutely stunning
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY & VIEWS !
Thank you David! Glad you enjoyed!
Joey's really going to town with the dental floss!
You had a good grasp on the situation and that’s what’s important. Take care. ✅
Watching your efforts climbing over & through Mother Natures obstacle course, did you feel like you were breaking trail, or was the trail breaking you"? I salute y'all's tenacity! This makes the viewer realize just how intense the Great Outdoors can really be! This is my favorite National Park (with Olympic a close second); I'm disabled, so I get to live vicariously thru your videos! Thank you so much for sharing with us: it looked Epic!!!
Absolutely gorgeous views, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for coming along Brendan. Glad you enjoyed it.
Usually when the subalpine meadows are full of wildflowers the skeeters are plentiful.
Yeah the bad thing about hiking in spring is you have to deal with fallen trees, washed out bridges, deep creeks, bears, bugs, weather constantly changing on you, bears and more bears. We had a cinnamon black bear wade out of the bushes while descending a trail near Iceberg lake and took us both by surprise. Luckily I had my hand on the bear spray and cocked and ready.
Love the view from the pit toilet!,lol!!!
Have you thought about hat with mosquito netting like they use in Alaska ? No doubt , you have the most adventurous and beautiful scenic videos to watch out there .
I do have one. It comes in handy. :)
Wow a deer in camp! Amazing.. haha. Beautiful country. I'm always envious of your hikes. You guys had some great camp spots!~
That deer had no fear of us! He kept inching towards us. He wanted my salty clothes I was trying to try on the log next to our tent. They'll eat the straps rights of your trekking poles for the salt. I watched him make off with our neighbors neck gator! hahaaaa. It was so beautiful in Glacier. The weather and obstacles made it a true adventure. Thanks for taking an hour of your life to watch this. Much appreciated.
Thru hiking the pacific northwest trail next year. This video is getting me super excited about the glacier section!
You are amazing and awesome 👏 and Joey is the best so glad to see you guys together,, hope to backpack it sometime
Awe...thank you very much! I'm looking forward to going back and exploring some other parts of the park. :)
What an experience. Congrats guys. One of the best videos I’ve seen of glacier. Love it
Thanks so much Jos! I had such a great time on this trip. Glacier has so far been the most beautiful National Park I have visited.
Awesome video!!! I'm a So Cal native as well and I've been to the Sierra numerous times and Glacier only twice. There is something really magical about Montana and GNP. I hope you keep doing the trips with Joey as well as the Sierra trips. I'm planning a trip to the Bishop/Mammoth area with my 9 year old son and will be using your videos for scouting the hikes. Thank you for making these videos. You do an excellent job of showing the scenery and also describing the challenges of the hike.
Thank you! I do plan on doing trips with Joey and definitely more in the Sierra this year. Next couple trips will probably be in the Sierra. :)
huge trout in lake francis. best toilet view in america at boulder pass..........
I love glacier, I'm blessed to live here in Montana pretty close. I watched your whole video, and an inspired. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to go this super and fall.
Thank you so much! I love Glacier, too!
Wow, I wanted to go to glacier national park before I saw this video but now I'm definitely going next year🏍️🏕️
Wow, beautiful! Yeah when you go hiking/camping you hope for nice weather but it's the wilderness, have to take what you get. I watched one of his videos & he sat on a rock & talked for like 30 min, kinda boring, but just my opinion, thanks for sharing, love Glacier Nat'l Park
Sure am glad your posting these videos.I was starting to go through withdrawal with joey slacking a little.
Unfortunately, I have time to work on videos when I come back into civilization. lol I'd rather have Joey's problem of not having time because I'm on epic back to back trips. He's fully entrenched into backpacking season and even though he has his laptop to work on the videos, he just hasn't had the time. Not to worry though. He's still filming so whenever he can start back with uploads, he'll have some greatness to share.
Cat, Your videos are really well done. Very professional and terrific photography!
Thank you Cat & Joey for another amazing video. LMAO Joey flossing and scrubbing his teeth night 4. This hairy mountain man with great dental hygiene. Joey C 👍
Hahaaa! He flosses and brushes religiously, but can go a couple weeks without a shower. lol Thanks for watching!
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures He's smart like that ! Teeth cost way more than stink, stink washes off. I think that is the most amazing scenery I've ever seen ! I can't imagine in person. Safe travels to you
That is what i like about Joey, he is authentic, raw and real, doesn't care of the standard of society! He is just being himself, no filter and that's amazing! You are lucky Cat to hike with him, I am too huge fan of his videos!!!
beautiful place!...amazing to have snow in July!.....I don't even get snow in January..lol...oh man brats!....making those today!...man those are some hardcore unmaintained trails...I come across that a lot in the swamps!...stunningly beautiful landscape...I need to get out there one of these days!.....what a view at that 2nd campsite!!...stellar!..such a cool place!...pun indended!...what an awesome adventure!!!!...the deer was cool too!
+Hike with Mike having snow on the ground I was prepared for at the higher elevations, but actually having snow fall from the sky, I was not. Lol. The brats were so good cooked over the fire. I’m lucky Joey doesn’t mind extra weight for good food. It was definitely an adventure! Thanks for coming along Mike!
Cat, this is a serious suggestion! Purchace some winter hiking boots from the country of Romania!!! I had a pair yrs. ago and even in deep wet snow, they stayed dry and the cold did not go through the boot! After hours of walking in them. My feet did not get cold nor wet ! Love to you.......
Thank you Marcia!
I was there June 1 2018. We just missed each other!
I really enjoyed this adventure, though I was scared y all were liable to get snake bit climbing through all them falling trees. I could just feel the tics crawling up my britches legs in the time it would take to get back to the truck. This was a brutal trip it looked like one of those movies where folks have crashed they's airplane and trying to get back to civilization. I subscribed
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for subscribing. Funny you should say that about snakes. I asked Joey if there were snakes in the park. Particularly, I was concerned about rattlers. He said there weren't any. haha...it does seem like it was brutal, but it's the stuff adventures are made of. It was exactly as it was supposed to be. I had a great time. :)
These videos are great. Its phenomenal to watch this in the off season when we are frozen over here! I appreciate the effort you put into your filming and its inspiring me to step out and do some of my own filming of my outdoor pursuits. Two thumbs up from this Canadian 👍👍
Hi Rachel! Thank you! I've been watching a lot of videos myself missing being out there. I appreciate you watching. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Beautiful! I love how the greens and blue-greens interplay on the grays and browns of the peaks. They seem to almost glow at times.
Now we just need to get a nice fat grizzly to add some "pop"!! 😎😎
Great job as always ...
Hahaaa. Joey was so disappointed that he has yet to see a Grizzly in Grizzly country so far this season. I honestly wanted to see one, too. From a distance, of course. Thanks so much!
Regardless of the abrupt ending (PC became envious of you trip), this is an excellent video. Thanks for posting.
I am surprised that even at the beginning of July, the upper stretches were controlled via. Winter permits. There did not seem to be enough snow to warrant restrictions.
Thanks so much Gregory. The Boulder Pass backcountry campsite only had one pad that was truly ready for camping out of the 3 available. The site Joey actually preferred was still buried in snow and the remaining site had a downed tree laying across it cutting it in half. We did move our tent to that one when we became concerned about lightning. It was a tight fit. The Ranger told us she was probably going to close it again after we camped there. Our first spot became flooded after all the rain, so I guess it did make sense. I certainly didn't mind the solitude it provided. :) I appreciate you watching and am glad you enjoyed it. I'm already ready to go back!
Makes sense to move the tent.
Joey and his "flossers"..LOL, I love my flossers.
😂😂😂
Great.
So many epic shots!! What a beautiful area. I can't wait to get up there myself eventually 🤙
Thank you Jon. It is absolutely stunning. The only place I've come across that rivals the Sierra. It is uniquely different, so it's an odd comparison, but the beauty is unreal.
Catherine Gregory I can totally see what you mean. Looks more like Banff to me than the mountains over here.. but we love our unique Sierras 🤙 I really want to go now. I don't know about bicycling down the road etc so I'll really need to figure out the logistics!
That was a tough trip on the bike for Joey, but he made it. It would be ideal to stage 2 cars if you are able.
Awesome! We are heading there tomorrow for two weeks should be an epic backpacking trip 👌🏽👌🏽
Very cool! Are you backpacking the entire 2 weeks? I'd love to do a trip that long.
Catherine Gregory first 3 days just day hikes. After that we are backpacking. This video helped 👍🏽 definitely feel like we should check this out!
Have a great time!!! It is so amazing there. Bring your bug spray! lol
I’m working my way backwards after discovering your channel and this one grabbed my attention. You capture the scenery very well & this vid has given me a good idea for next summer’s venture out west to visit a friend in Whitefish. Have to admit though that I fast forwarded through Joey’s flossing scene. Oh by the way, I’m pretty sure I spotted Jeremiah Johnson watching y’all in several of the segments 😉!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. :)
Glacier park is beautiful! Great job on your video! Thanks for your content.
It is my favorite National Park I have seen thus far. Just stunning. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Tremendous hike! Awesome views. A variety of weather conditions. What a great time you guys had. Fortunate that you have Joey as an experienced back packer to lead the trail. Can't wait to see your next adventure. See you on the trail.
Thank you John. I feel like I am in the best hands out there with Joey. I've already experienced and learned so much hiking with him. Glacier was just incredible. I cannot wait to go back.
Thank you.
Looks like an amazing trip! You're really getting out there in the backcountry...awesome. Glaciers a good one...wild country at its best. "Keep Hiking!"
It was amazing Chris! There is still so much to explore in Glacier. I can't wait to go back. I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Thank you!
Your welcome! Just got back from Montana so beautiful and green. Saw my kids...they're great kids..I'm very lucky
dang, Joey-the-Sherpa's rigging bags, weights, pulley's - 35:40.
.
You're half expecting some trapeze artists.
.
Another great adventure from you and Joey. The zero day was a smart choice especially with the weather clearing up for the the most the next day. Traversing over trails with downed trees is slow going for sure. The views! Oh they are fantastic! A photographers piece of heaven if you asked me 😉 always enjoy the adventures, thanks for bringing us along 😊💗
Thanks for coming along Gilbert. Yes...the downed trees! That was an experience right off the bat to start the morning. Not only is it slow going, but it zaps so much energy. I am so glad we made the call to hunker down with the bad weather. Not only would it have been dangerous, we would have been miserable and missed all the most epic views of the trip coming over the pass. Its funny how everything happens for a reason and things have a way of working themselves out.
Catherine Gregory absolutely agree with you 💯 percent! Everything happens for a reason and I'm so glad it all worked out for you and Joey ... I do look forward to all your adventures they are magnificent and shares the highs and lows of the journey but filled with incredible scenery 💗
Yes! Beautiful views!!!
