Apgar look out trail, Montana




























Montana was partially about incorrectly remembering the lengths of trails.
when thinking we were on a 3 mile round trip trail with an easy stride twice we were on over 7  mile trails with tough going 2,000 grade climb.
oops.
Our vacations would drive the obsessive planner nuts as we are very free flowing and don't always reach the "goal" if the goal for most is in fact the end of the trail.
Montana, bigger you are then Washington, more spread out you are and by golly your trails are more as well.
More, More , More.
All this space and you are starting to grow with folks coming for your space.
I hope the winter diluge keeps most the folks away, so you can be wild.

Lake McDonald, Glacier National Park, Montana



When we arrived in the West Glacier area it was 81 degrees F when we left it was 20 degrees F (in this case the F really means something different.)
This is lake McDonald the largest lake west of the Mississippi, ten miles long, I believe.
This is about the area of Avalanche camp ground and trails where the road ended once the snow kicked in on the week of our visit.
Thank you Glacier for showing us your bi polarity.
