Exploit hope, work

snow covered mountains
We have experimented for years with different seasonal visits. Summer, Fall, then Winter and Spring. The context of each season accentuates the other three in an inspiring, humbling, artful way.

What the New Year brings you proportionally depends on what you bring to 2026.

Same for each month, week, day, and moment.

Same for each idea, intent, act, improvement, and sharing.

Fanatically bring your best if you want to intentionally be your best.

Welcome 2026, work

mountains and lake
Lake McDonald is 10 miles long, 500′ deep at the deepest, and this south shore location is ridiculously easy to access.

Those creative ideas you have on how to make your work life better, remember this…

No great idea ever starts out great.

Great ideas generally sound like dumb ideas initially.

We need dumb ideas to spark the progression for idea improvement.

Dream like you mean it.

.think .differently like you mean it.

Lean into discomfort like you mean it.

Have fun like you mean it.

Glacier ambitions

Bottom to top: Swiftcurrent Lake, Lake Josephine, Angel Wing, with Gem Glacier (formerly a glacier) on the Continental Divide. Many Glacier’s roofline barely visible.

Glacier ambitions in 2026?

To revisit all our favorites.

The photo above is from a new hike we did in 2025.

Seeing Many Glacier Hotel’s roof line from this vantage point was wonderful.

We could spend all our time in Glacier seeking more, newer.

In 2026, the goal is to visit with our closest Glacier friends.

Glacier ‘friends’ in this context means trails, hikes, overlooks, traditions. Nothing new.
