Back to Glacier, mind

Iconic Avalanche Lake. This is a fan-favorite hike. It was wonderful to see Avalanche Creek on full force.

This is opening day, May 15. We checked in for three nights.
deer eating flowers out of a planter
The flower baskets are only a few days old and got destroyed by hungry deer who had not yet been conditioned to avoid the Lodge’s public areas.
National Park Lodge lobby
Never gets old.

The fireplace was just as we remembered and expected.

Returned to Glacier in May for 10 days.

Did the same thing last May (2024).

Last year was good enough to have us try it again this year.

Never gonna go back in May.

Too cold.

No access to alpine hikes until mid-July.

We gave it a second try.

There won’t be a third chance.

However, we did have a wonderful experience during the cold and rainy visit…bicycling Sun Road.

No one here but us. In the midst of a jam-packed Labor Day weekend.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Leverage this timeless insight.

All day. Every day.

Maintain and improve your growth mindset.

All day. Every day.

Orchestrating Glacier

Expedia billing screen shot
Orchestrating July 19-Sept 2. Side note: Rental car fees have tripled.

The main thing i’m orchestrating this year (2025) is how to visit my favorite places in Glacier and say goodbye to them.
