In May of 2002, I read an issue of Adventure Magazine titled, Secret of the Great Parks. For Glacier National Park, a singular quote has stuck with me ever since - "The Milky Way up here is nearly as bright as the moon is elsewhere".After 2 rainy nights camping in Glacier National Park, I felt the night I've anticipated for over 10 years was near. Little did I know, under the veil of clouds and rain was a night sky so dark and so densely packed with stars that I can still hardly believe my eyes. After an hour and a half of star gazing, it was time for sleep… The next day started with Yoga on the shore of this amazing lake, and then a hike of 8.8 miles with about 2,500 ft of elevation gain, up to a snow blocked pass to Ptarmigan Tunnel. I really don't think there is anything more fun than throwing snowballs at my best friends and brother at the end of June.
