This arrival tradition began in 2013. Here’s this year, 2026.

Here’s how Glacier 2026 played out mentally…

Our relationship with Glacier is broad and deep.

From the beginning, Glacier has abundantly fed our individual and collective souls.

Glacier augmented our growth-mindset.

An Olympic Gold win-win.

Here’s what i envisioned Glacier 2026 to be mentally…

Simple…a ‘farewell, Glacier’. 

A ‘see you later, Glacier’.

A once in a lifetime chance to deeply think about how these prolific visits started, how it all morphed exponentially beyond any rational expectation, and how we say farewell to one of our lifetime dearest friends, Glacier.

September 1st 2026, mind

Mid-August 2026, a carcass near the trail attracted bears and created a week closure of Glacier’s most popular trail. Selfishly, or serendipitously, we enjoyed the reduced traffic at Logan Pass’s small parking lot.

Back home from Glacier, a week now.
