A 7 day trek through Glacier National Park Day 3 (MAN-REY)
The thought was to get up early, as we had Piegan Pass, which meant over 2400 ft to climb before making it to the day’s destination, Reynolds campsites, a mere 15.2 miles away. We were up early, but so was … Continue reading
Let the Trek begin!
Starting in Glacier National Park at the Canadian border on the 110 mile segment of the CDT seems like cheating a bit. You have “short” miles and magnificent views. You can’t help but say and point, “Oh my gosh, look … Continue reading
Getting there
So rather than write about how we got to Canada, we figured we’d just show you…kind of. More posts to come. WiFi and cell coverage for uploads is sparse on theses parts along the CDT. Suffice it to say we … Continue reading

CDT: Put a Fork in It
8/8: Leadore Idaho Pleasantly surprised, we scored a room at the Inn. Laundry and a shower were the first orders of business, as I smelled worse than usual. Once that was completed we toddled off to The Depot diner. Here … Continue reading
CDT: Bannock Pass
8/5: 15.8 miles (2217.1 – 2232.9) When I awoke it was still raining. The sun had yet to rise and I felt like a new person. Throughout the night I had sipped on electrolyte infused water without expulsion. Things were … Continue reading

8/4: 6.6 miles (2210.5 – 2217.1) Morning found the moon still high in the sky. We had a leisurely breakfast with ERL and then departed in opposite directions, wishing each other well. Today’s path was pretty straight forward, and required … Continue reading

8/2 – 16.1 miles (2179.0 – 2195.1) Due to the previous night’s “block party”, we ended up sleeping in just a bit. We originally wanted to get an early start, due to the necessary climb up out of Deadman Lake, … Continue reading
