Hello up there!


I had a little experience with this mtn. goat family down at Hidden Lake. As I was following a trail near the outlet creek my way was blocked by a nannie and this year's kid. OK I can wait here, while mom eats whatever it is that is so wonderful. Then junior kid from last year appears on the rock above me, surveying the scene and wanting whatever it is that mom is getting..... but, mom's not sharing and she is warning him to butt out.....

Hidden Lake and Bearhat Mountain


This is a panorama of Bearhat mountain and Hidden Lake which is just up the snowy trail from Logan Pass Visitor Center. The goats and goat-lets are everywhere here.

St Mary Falls


This is St. Mary falls at the head of a very long and deep glacial lake, east of the continental divide. They finally got the road open across Logan Pass on the 1st of July, hooray!

Bowman Lake painting


I enjoyed painting Bowman Lake after I came down from the lookout. Very peaceful here although they do let motor boats on it. Some folks came back with a bunch of trout for dinner. THought of you, Mark.

View from the loo


This is the best view from a loo that I've had lately. This is the outhouse at the fire lookout on Numa Ridge above Bowman Lake in the North Fork area of the park. Aren't you glad that I'm doing all this mountain climbing for you?

Forest Path near Lake McDonald


This was way back last week when the weather was cooler! This looks a lot like home doesn't it?
