The summer of 2016 included numerous adventures in Glacier National Park, including a bike ride to Logan Pass before the Going to the Sun road was open to cars, climbs of Appistoki Peak, Great Northern (not actually in Glacier), Painted Tepee, Going to the Sun Mountain, Ahern Peak, Mount Henkel, Mount Jackson, and Sinopah Mountain, backpacking trips to Quartz Lake and Poia and Elizabeth Lakes, and a two-night stay at Granite Park Chalet. We are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful place!
