Glacier National Park – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Day 7 East Glacier, mind

Customer work on the side of the SUV — Amen.

This vehicle was parked close to mine when i went out to get a vest because the weather got windier and cooler yesterday.

In all my years, i’ve never heard it framed up this way.

The journey is the destination.

Day 6 East Glacier, mind

16-second video: Sinopah Mountain from South Shore trail.

Today is a ‘rest day’.

Over-focusing on rest.

Why, after only two hiking days?

The normal season opener hike is 4 miles round-trip and only 1600’ elevation gain and loss.

To avoid 3+ hours of round-trip drive time to get to Oberlin, i stayed local and had a 30-minute round-trip drive time. However, opening day hike was 8 miles and 2500’ elevation gain and descent.

Day 5 East Glacier, mind

Red flower — Until recently (maybe 2022), it was called Indian Paintbrush. Now it’s just Paintbrush.

Apple Watch fitness app screenshot — Yesterday’s Scenic Point hike. Today’s hike is Upper Two Medicine Lake hike.

Yesterday, even though starting the day with a sleep deficit, i knew it was a fail-safe hike choice.

Why?

Have done it at least three times before. Once solo. Once with Chapin. Once with Cheryl.

Day 4 East Glacier, mind

Overturned car on highway — First day last year. Driving Highway 2 to East Glacier on the way to SwiftCurrent Valley.

.think .differently

Emotion trumps everything.

Reminds me i’m not offering (selling?) world-class customer service architecture. Even though it seems so.

What then?

Reminds me i’m offering (selling?) world-class hope architecture. Even though it doesn’t seem so.

Day 3 East Glacier, mind

Person standing in front of a stonewall — Decent accolades across the top.

Depart home at 6:30am.

Wheels-up at 10:00am.

On to Denver with a generous layover, thankfully.

Then to Kalispell.

Secure the Mini Van.

Visit the storage unit to grab a few things.

Drive 90-ish minutes to East Glacier.

Check in two days ‘late’.

(Thus making day three the third paid Glacier day, but the first day physically with feet on the ground. Just gonna roll with it.)

Have dinner and a beer at the lobby lounge.

Enjoy a mountain sleep.

Note: Paid for the previous two nights because i was past the refundable cancellation window. And, it helped ensure i wouldn’t lose the room, which is reserved for a week.
