Dear Son, some important context notes, work

Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park. Many Glacier Valley. Salamander Glacier is barely visible on the center right. The Glacier formerly know as Gem Glacier is literally dead center.

We added 31 nights from our annual Summer 2026 Glacier visit to currently sit at 518 lifetime nights in Glacier National Park.

My first Glacier visit was as a newly-minted 14-year old on a chartered Boy Scout bus trip to Idaho from Pennsylvania.

In 1973 my parents sprang for the $360 price tag covering everything for three weeks, except souvenirs.

In recent years in Glacier, our average room rate for a single night is roughly equal to the entire 1973 three-week inclusive cost.

Finally, 2026 was our first year as fully-retired, fixed-income seniors. A simple yet profound milestone.
