St Mary, day 1, work

Glacier Park ariel view
The center-right half of this map is the Swiftcurrent and Many Glacier area. St Mary is seen on this map in lower left corner.

When we’re here, everything seems so large and magnificent.

When i pause to frame up St Mary against the Cosmos’s backdrop, this is all merely a microscopic speck of dust.

Swiftcurrent Valley, day 6, work

A different view and perspective of Swiftcurrent Valley, and Mt Wilbur, from Many Glacier Hotel’s parking lot at sunrise.

Dude, first of all, this photo is from an iPhone, from a parking lot.

Second, we did not have to drive 2 1/2 hours to get here.

Lastly, this is less than a mile walk from our Swiftcurrent Motor Inn room.

Swiftcurrent Valley, day 5, work

mountain lake from hotel balcony
From my room in Many Glacier Hotel, couple years ago. Grinnell Point, left. Mt Wilbur, tallest of the right horizon. Swiftcurrent Mountain, center, low horizon.

Swiftcurrent Motor Inn.

Dead-end road.

Limited parking.

No shuttle system.

An arguably system-imposed low-hiker-attendance feature.

Incredible insider tips like this come from my 53 years (and counting?) of Glacier visits.

Swiftcurrent Valley, day 4, work

14-second video: We watched these two for nearly 30 minutes. Just the five of us and another couple.

No hospitals.

No Urgent Care.

No grocery store.

No roof over your head.

No front door to lock.

No HVAC.

No Netflix.

No musical bands.

Why?

Because it’s the wilderness.
