In July 2022 I returned to Glacier National Park for my 4th hike there. This trip we did a 30-mile, 3-day hike in the Many Glacier/Belly River area of Glacier.
Glacier National Park Backpacking – September 2018
My third backpacking trip to Glacier National Park, in September 2018, proved to be one of the most mentally challenging ‘adventures’ of my life. It was a solo trip, possibly ill-advised in grizzly country and discouraged by the Glacier NPS. My original plans for the trip had already been cancelled when I decided at the last moment to ‘re-engage’. I entered into it with the least amount of confidence and mental commitment I had ever had for a significant Western backpacking trip. In the end it proved to be one of my greatest life challenges overcome, and one of the best backpacking trips of my life.
