The Moods of Glacier Park


This is Bubbie Dear and Oldeupher climbing in Glacier. She says, "This day we were camped at Many Glacier. The next day the campsite was closed down until spring. "

This time of year the Park sees few visitors and a real sense of isolation could easily overwhelm one---unless the Park is your friend. "

I like to think that a mountain wants you to see it in all its moods, even the monochromatic ones! In winter's chill you can't be distracted by lots of color...you're too busy feeling gusty wind, raw cold, ironic sunshine! And there's nothing like coming "inside" to have a warm cup of coffee! "
