Living & Working in Great Places

Looking for some hiking partners (day hikes) in Glacier National Park, Montana

I'll be in West Glacier by May 2nd and I'd like to find some people (the more the merrier) to go with on some day hikes (5-15 miles). I walk about 2 mph and usually do moderate hikes with little or no scrambling. I don't chit chat much and I really like to take a lot of pictures and listen to my mp3, but unless it is a big group, or a bear/mountain lion free area, I forgo the music.

Music is a must on hikes for me, I have some small battery powered speakers I take with me so I dont have to have headphones on, but im thinking i would just use them for pit stops cuz i wouldnt want to be disrespectful to others out on the trail... I know if i went out there looking for peace & quiet I wouldnt want some yahoo blaring their tunes & ruining my hike. but yeah keep in touch!; ▶ Reply to This

So far, The Old Ranger Station Trail (9 miles, 3 hours), Lake McDonald Trail (6.6 miles, 2.5 hours), and Avalanche Lake Trail (4 miles, 3 hours). Thursday is Red Eagle Lake Trail (15 miles). Have seen many, many deer, and four bears so far. Oh yeah!; ▶ Reply to This

I already have one other person who is very, very slow (maybe 1 - 1.5 miles an hour), so be prepared if you want to go. My goal is to get in as many different trails as I can over the summer.; ▶ Reply to This

Will be landing in Kalispell September 9th ('09), spending one night in a motel. Bring own tent, willing to share food expenses/ideas and hikes. I'm a photographer so hike slowly enjoying the vistas and views. Staying one week leaving Kalispell the 16th; ▶ Reply to This
