Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
You know what, a couple weeks ago i started asking myself, “Do you want to continue daily writing/blogging?”
The question is new for me.
The answer is, “Not sure.”
Ps. The Glacier posts may be refined, shortened, and otherwise re-crafted. It was a good rough draft but i find it verbose.

Let’s go through some “inconvenient” logistics.
Planning: Everything is better with intentional planning.
Expectations: Have fun. Stay safe. Mind-blowing hiking.
Lodging: Book this year for next year. Stay in Park or 400 meters away. This gives you about a dozen choices. Mid-September, everything closes except a few special options.
Air: Glacier International Airport (FCA). Delta, United, American. Arrive by 1:30PM. Why? To get your rental car (sometimes it takes 30-60 minutes) and allow time to stop for provisions, stop at overlooks and stop at the Pass.
Food: West side has two grocery stores, in Columbia Falls. You pass both on the drive to GNP. “Super 1” is large, upscale, 20 minutes from airport. “Smith’s”, just 3 minutes past Super 1, make left on Nucleus. Maybe four blocks. Hometown feel. Better prices. Fewer tourists.
Car: i use Expedia to check options and prices. i always book an in-terminal rental. You can book without obligation or financial deposit. West Glacier is 45 minutes from airport. St Mary is 2.5 hours. Many Glacier/Swift Current is three hours.
Timing: Logan Pass and the Going-to-the-Sun Road open between mid-June and mid-July. Late July the snows generally melt enough to hike the higher elevation trails. June has soggy, buggy, and cold trials. The upside is the creeks are maxed out – cool to see because in September you’d never know, because the creeks are on low/trickle.

Today’s posts are about how inconvenient it is to travel to, and to enjoy, Glacier National Park.
It’s the same inconvenience most people see when i talk about getting and staying physically vibrant.
Too inconvenient in a distracted, entertained, medicated life.
Same with a visit to Glacier.
The time, money, and effort to plan, travel, stay, and return is too much.
Too inconvenient.
This is a Glacier lover’s advantage.
A visit to our hometown is more convenient…

High hopes, low expectations.
Excellent standards, decent generosity.
Take your time, don’t wait.
Enjoy the journey.
Savor the return.
Returning from a road trip requires a mental transition back to familiar.
