GNP Day 55, work

Three people at a Mountain Lake
The Grayson’s take one last look. This past week, we stopped here at least a dozen times.

Glacier has officially been individually added to Barb’s and Chuck’s top five favorite places in the world.

Didn’t see that coming.

This is my second time to Hidden Lake’s shore. It is the first time crossing the stream to get to this side. All water levels are low in September.
4-second video: Cheryl and Barb set up a picnic area with our two folding chairs. Chuck and i are grateful they maximized their ”wait time” while we hiked. Cheryl saw this bear from her seat.

Chuck and i morphed the original three-mile “overlook” hike to a six-mile ”lakeside” hike. This change added another mile down and another mile up.

During our ascent, i coached Chuck (and reminded myself) to nose-breath only. No mouth breathing.

Walk (hike) as fast as you want, while maintatining nose-breathing.

Since arriving four weeks ago, i have not “opened it up”.

With Chuck’s blessing and promise to not try to keep up, i opened up the pace. It was heavenly.

Leadership this Summer focused on others over self. It is not my jam to hike far below my capability.

Undoubtedly, upcoming writing will reflect on this behavior change.

17-second video: The Sun lights up the entire lake.
Charlie’s Angels? Seems so.
Mountains and Lake
Twilight is later than i like for returning to parking lot. Today it worked out. We are lucky.

Ever get lost in the moment(s) and not care (nor worry) what time it is?

Cheryl and i are synched with our expectations and ability. Glacier’s best hikes require serious, extended effort.

Our Guests this Summer are untested. We are not (specifically) dialed into their expectations and abilities.

The good news yesterday? We serendipitously synched our desire to stay at Grinnell Lake.

Sperry Glacier. Dragons Tail. Bearhat. Hidden Lake. Cannon and Clements.

On our way. Once past Dragons Tail, we didn’t see another hiker. This makes me happy.
