I am writing this last post from Glacier Montana. That last two weeks have flown by. My hitch started off with a few day trips with little excitement to relay. The last four days of my hitch were some of the best days of the summer. Me and one other crew member headed out into the plateau country with the goal of hiking trails and looking for bear rub trees. Every trail needs to be hiked so that rub trees can be recorded so we decided to take out a 40 mile section of trail. The trail left from Red Lodge (6,000 feet) and climbed to the top of the plateau (10,000 feet). From there we dropped into canyons then climbed back to the plateau about 4 more times, gaining about 5000 feet in elevation a day. We had some spectacular views, but unfortunately those pictures are on the camera I left in Gardiner.
As soon as I returned from my hitch I turned around and left for Glacier National Park. From the time we got to Glacier we have seen very little blue sky and most of the scenery has been covered by fog. We have let the weather be what is though and have made the best of our time. We have taken advantage of the few clear moments and have been able to see some cool things still. Tomorrow morning we will drive out through the park and hopefully be able to get some last spectacular views in before we leave. We will take some time in Missoula and then stay in Bozeman. I fly out of Bozeman to return home on Tuesday. Therefore this is my last post and I hope to see everyone soon

Appistoki Falls. For this picture I had to cross a small stream and climb an ridge off trail in order to see the whole falls which was hidden behind a rock wall from the trail.
