My winter gig is at the brand new Giant's Ridge Pool Haus, walking distance from the condo where I live. It's a nice facility, including a huge pool and a spa and two saunas, and a very nice staff. Come for a swim!

I traveled to #voyageursnationalpark today, a couple hours from me, right by the Canadian border. It's a beautiful park, but you really need a boat to appreciate it. I'll return with my kayak someday for sure.

My beautiful awesome mother died Monday after a 10 year battle with Alzheimers and weeklong painful struggle to breathe at the end. I'm grateful I was back from Montana and had a good visit before she got sick, and that I could be with her as she passed. I'll miss her so much. She's with dad again.

I visited a huge Western shop in Cut Bank today. I could have easily dropped a grand, but settled on this #bitchinwesternshirt I'll be back next year for boots!!

It's that time of the summer when I am excited to go home and see my family, but super sad to be saying goodbye to new friends, some of whom I may never see again :-( Goodbye to the best team ever!

Glacier Park Lodge has adopted a chunk of Hwy 2, and we picked up trash this morning. Lotsa cans, bottles, cig butts. Needles. Diapers. And one bike. It was both gross and fun. Please friends, dispose of your trash properly!

Spent afternoon on Lake McDonald with my friend after scoring a free tandem kayak at Apgar. We thought we'd paddle to Lake McDonald Lodge and have dinner, then kayak back. About six miles in we realized it's a huge effin lake and turned back.

The best part of seasonal work is the people you meet. We had a going-away party tonight for our J1 international workers. We truly had the best team ever, and a lot of that was due to these sweet girls from Thailand, Lithuania and Czech Republic. The thought of never seeing them again brings tears!

Triple Divide Pass is a significant hydrological location where water flows to three different oceans—the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Arctic, making it a rare and unique spot! I spent a bunch of time watching some crazy climbers also. I hope they made it down ok! #hiking #glacier 2/2

Triple Divide Pass is one of my favorite hikes! It is located in a sparsely visited part of the park, so there arent many people on the trail. 14.5 miles rt, 2500 ft elev gain, and a geological wonder!

Sometimes a #hammocking day is needed. I had a lovely relaxing day by Two Medicine Lake :-)

If you take the boat and start the Two Medicine Pass #hike at the other end of the big lake, you can cut off 2.5 unexciting miles, making the hike about 13 rt and 2500 elev gain. Bring a bag to pick huckleberries! I could have picked at least a gallon without even stepping off the trail, yummy! 2/2

If you are planning on #hiking to #twomedicinepass in #glaciernationalpark here are a few tips: It's gorgeous and worth the effort. Wear a hat with a string! I have been on other windy passes (Dawson, Firebrand), but this pass takes the cake for gale force, barely able to stand at times wind! 1/2

I can tell the weather is bad outside if I see Goldie sleeping behind the bellman's station. She only comes inside if it's cold or raining. She knows she isn't supposed to come in the Lodge otherwise. I'm glad management tolerates and let's us love on these sweet rez dogs! #dogsofbluesky

Me and my young coworkers hiked up to Grinnell Glacier. 10 miles rt, 2000 ft elev. Gorgeous but too many people cuz it's well known and popular. This summer's road restrictions helped though. I was afraid I'd have trouble keeping up with these youngsters, but i didn't cuz I'm a badass #hiking mf!

This is Grizz, another rez dog who hangs out around the Lodge. He is saying hello from the open doorway of the employee cafeteria. He knows he isn't supposed to come in, so he isn't, but he sure hopes someone will bring him a tasty treat! #dogsofbluesky

The Siyeh Pass #hike is in my top 3 in the park! Shhhh, don't tell anyone. About 10 miles and 2400 feet elev gain if you start from Siyeh Bend and come out at Sunrift Gorge on GTS Road. Incredibly scenic, diverse and way less people than Highline, I loved taking Eamon for his first time. His mind 🤯

My friend Bobby and his son Eamon have been visiting the past few days. Always the best days of the summer when they meet me here. Tomorrow we hike Siyeh!

#sperrychalet is a tough #hike with 3600 ft elevation gain, 12.6 miles roundtrip. But it didnt feel as tough as I anticipated. The worst part is the lack of shade for 80% of the trail as it travels through the burn area which is regrowing, but big shade trees take time. It was hot too! 2/3

People can reserve rooms and sleep up there (bucket list!!). You can also eat lunch up there, and the food is good and reasonably priced considering all supplies must be brought up by horses and there is only solar power and propane for cooking and preserving. I'm so glad I finally went back! 3/3

Today's hike was to Sperry Chalet, which partially burned in 2017 and was rebuilt. Thankfully most of the original structures survived. I hadn't been up there since 1989 when i was a youngster and #hiking in terrible shoes, with probably a box of raisins in a fanny pack. Oh how I've geared up! 1/3
