Seven years ago today I was in Glacier National Park as part of my nationwide Amtrak tourpic.twitter.com/IBmraNilVT
The train only comes once per day (around 7 pm), so I arrived in the evening, spent the night, hiked all the next day, then left at 7pic.twitter.com/1AiV4s7Hlo
Turns out you're meant to bring a car if you want to explore a national park, but I set out on foot anyway, towards the nearest mountainpic.twitter.com/lOQRFJtueQ
I didn't know how far away it was, and once in the woods, I wasn't entirely sure which direction to follow...pic.twitter.com/m7TajIzlsu
After an hour or so, I found myself mostly above the treelinepic.twitter.com/UxD0C9xFn0
The same mountain I had been following--it was called Mt Henry--now loomed just a short distance awaypic.twitter.com/AOqW9sWUk6
Glad that I'd made it this far, and could get back in time for the train, I pressed on to see how high I could getpic.twitter.com/DdEYFkGSrJ
Eventually the loose rock slopes gave way to sheer cliffs above, and I started the walk back. The train, of course, was 2 hours late.pic.twitter.com/sfnSXjNbRL
