TRAIL CREW ANYONE?

Ever think about that trail you hike on in Glacier?  How it's maintained or restored after 9 months of extreme weather?  If you haven't, then good!  That means a job well done.

ENick, Dianne, Rob, and Judi working on Avalanche Trail on June 23.very year, volunteers work in Glacier National Park to ensure a positve and safe visitor experience on the trail system throughout the park. GNPF hosts a number of Trail Crew days during the summer season.  No experience necessary!  Young, old, male or female.  Hours are usually from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a break for lunch.  

Currently, GNPF has two Trail Crew days scheduled for the East Glacier area that they still need volunteers for: July 30th and August 6th. If you are interested, please contact Merry Lynn for more info at 406-892-3250.

And a big shout out to those volunteers who have already worked - thank you so much for your time and effort!  We couldn't do it without you.  Literally, I'm a 6 inch goat.

DUDE, WHERE'S MY GOAT?!

 

Doing my best impersonation of the Lion King.It's the 4th of July hangover.  All that clean air, the fresh outdoors, and plenty of sunshine overwhelms the senses....or maybe it was all that lichen I got into.  It's so good going down but leaves you feeling a little fuzzy the next morning.

CP and I headed into the backcountry after hitting the Polebridge 4th of July Parade.  A bucket list must-have for any Glacier fan.  Only parade you can see coming and going and has an intermission.  Want to learn more about Polebridge - good luck in finding all of it in one place.  It's a magical site that loses it's charm if its forced to live by 21th Century standards.  However, for a little snippet CLICK HERE.

This week's pic has me surveying the Glacier landscape.  What is the snow-capped mountain in the background?
