Hiking - Garden Wall, Glacier National Park

 Granite Park Chalet: 15 Miles Return

We are headed out to the Granite Park Chalet. This hike is so pretty and we are above the Going to the Sun Road. I love where I live.

Looking down the Flathead Valley toward Kalispell,MT. Love all the bear grass!

Love it! Blue sky! Green Grass! Bear Grass! I love Summer in Montana!

Marilee, Dina, and a few others went an extra mile or two and major elevation gain to look over Grinnell Lake. (I was a bit whimpy).

A mountain goat right on the trail. Animal sightings are the best!

 

Cracker Lake, MT

 Cracker Lake, MT

This is such a pretty lake. Karen Bevans calls it the Toothpaste Lake.

This is the view of where we came from.

The ladies in blue. Karen Bevans, Dixie, Marilee Cahoon.

This was a fun hike for us. We started a bit late and followed some horses at the beginning. It was a bit of jumping horse doo, doo, but we figured it out and know that it is always good to get an early start.

A fun video of lunch.

A little windy but so much fun.

Swiftcurrent Lake, it is a lake near the trail head.

Zak stays at the Ranch

Zak stayed with us for a week or so this summer. It was so fun to have him on the Ranch. We went for a hike in Waterton. This is Sofa Mountain Falls.

We are at Cahoon Crossing taking care of a horses sore leg.

It's so nice to have such good help!

Zak found a downed Owl!

Mounted Shooting!

Mounted Shooting

 I decided to try Mounted Shooting. Let me tell you that is so much fun!! This is at Claresholm,AB. Zee is a good horse and lets me shoot balloons. Is there anything more western than shooting of a horse at speed?? I love it!

The Other Side of Everest

February 2019

 Kelly asked me to do a week long Retreat Called the Other Side of Everest by David Irvine. It was a course on authentic leadership and really insightful. Kelly and I made friends with 2 guys from the east coast. I thought they were really good guys and we enjoyed riding the gondola with them. It was a very nice day out in a very beautiful spot of the world.
