Jewels of Glacier Alphabet

Here is the cover of a Glacier Alphabet booklet I put together from the drawings for the park's online version. Inside are larger reproductions of the line drawings for you to color.... fun, don't you think?

Two Medicine Lake from Scenic Point trail

Now that I'm home, I'm revisiting some of the wonderful Glacier scenery in paint.... as well as working on the alphabet.

Happy Hiker

What a way to go out though, almost 300 miles of Glacier trails in two wonder-full summers as AIR. I'm a happy hiker and instead of saying good-bye to Glacier it's just gonna be "see you later".

Talk about burned out!

I've been holding my good old hiking boots together with shoe-goo and duct tape, this may be their last hike. :(

Wild Hollyhock in the Burn

As you drop down from Granite Park you enter the burned area from a few years back. The fireweed and hollyhock have certainly taken advantage of the sunlight through the skeleton trees.

View from Granite Park

After descending from the ridge I checked out the Granite Park Chalet.....a view with a room is right! Here is the expansive view south towards the Garden Wall and Logan Pass from Granite Park.

Bad Marmot!

Just a little reminder that you really shouldn't leave your pack unattended. (no, this was not my pack and yes, I did save it from destruction, much to the chagrin of this fellow and his three companions)
