Hail Storm Rafting on Flathead River, West Glacier, MT - 6/19/13
This video captures a good portion of a hail storm that struck us on our rafting trip on the Flathead River in West Glacier, MT with the Montana Raft Company. It was filmed with a head-mounted GoPro camera. What started as a sprinkle when we shoved off quickly turned into a steady rain, followed by stinging rain with wind gusts that we estimated to be at least 30 mph, followed by at least 8 minutes of hail -- all within 1 to 1.5 miles into the trip. The hail started pea-size and some pieces were at least nickel size by the end. We were caught completely off guard and for a few minutes were all crouched over covering our head with oars, our hands, or whatever we could find, drifting aimlessly until our guide saw that the hail wasn't letting up and finally found a spot on shore that allowed us to disembark and huddle under a tree. The water temp was ~40 degrees and we later learned the air temp had dropped to ~40 degrees with a wind chill of 35. Our guide (Sarah M) was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the rest of our trip down river after the hail passed!

Glacier National Park Montana Backcountry Camping
In response to the recent detection of invasive mussel populations in central Montana, Glacier National Park is issuing an interim boating closure within all park waters, in accordance with the park’s Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Action Plan. The closure includes both motorized and hand propelled watercraft. This closure does not impact boating on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, which is outside the park boundary, or the North Fork of the Flathead River which is partially outside the park boundary.
The 2014 plan calls for this immediate closure when invasive mussels are detected within a waterway in the State of Montana, as was announced on November 9 by Montana Fish Wildlife, and Parks.

Smith River, Montana, Fishing Adventure
The Experience: Leaving civilization behind, this 60-mile Smith River fishing adventure descends a stunning limestone canyon in Montana’s Big Belt Mountains. The Smith is the only river in Montana where all river travelers must have a permit, and for good reason. The scenery, fishing, birding, archeology, geology, and history are arguably some of the best in the lower 48 states. While meandering the curves and eddies of the Smith, we will discuss the adventures of Lewis and Clark’s expedition and the history of the Blackfeet Indians, both of which sought sustenance in the Smith River ecosystem.
Fishing: The Smith River is one of Montana’s premiere rainbow and brown trout fisheries. Its unequaled beauty boasts outstanding trout habitat. For serious Smith River fishing, we recommend the drift boat option – two person maximum in a drift boat. Enjoy the sounds of the river as you fish with our experienced guides. Whenever angling new waters, experienced guides are important, and ours are some of the best in the West. All equipment and tackle is provided for guests.
Wildlife and Bird Watching: Whether you’re an angler or not, this Smith River fishing adventure is the experience of a lifetime! Birders and photographers will be on the figurative edge of the raft, as this area is known for wildlife and fowl watching. We often see mountain lion, black bear, bobcat, wolverine, flying squirrel, otter, beaver, mergansers, osprey, belted kingfishers, dippers, killdeer, American redstarts, yellow warblers, ruffed grouse, hawks, owls, common raven, swifts, hummingbirds, pileated woodpeckers, chickadees, Swainson’s thrush, varied thrush … the list goes on and on.
Hiking: We usually arrive at the campsite around 4:00pm each day, so you will have an opportunity to explore around camp or do a short hike while your guides are setting up camp and preparing delicious meals. You can look for wildlife, head up to the canyon rim for a view from above, or explore Native American archeological sites.

Backpacking Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness: Chinese Wall/White River Pass/Larch Hill Loop
This was a 6 day backpacking trip in Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness, part of the northern Rocky Mountains. We did a loop out of Benchmark. We went up over White River Pass, camped and hiked up along the White River to Larch Hill Pass, and then walked underneath the Chinese Wall back to Benchmark to finish the loop. We saw very few people, had an interesting experience with black bears in our camp, and stayed pretty dry despite the weather being all over the place for this trip. We did the trip in June of 2019.
Travis put together his own video for this trip, it's much better than mine.

Glacier National Park Backpacking - Kintla to Bowman - September 2018
I traveled back to Glacier National Park in mid-September for the 'grand finale' hike of the 2018 season.
Just a few weeks before the trip the 'Boundary' fire started in the North Fork area, closing all the trails and backcountry campsites on my permit. I was 99% certain this trip wasn't going to happen so I made plans for an alternate trip to Pictured Rocks in Michigan. But then snow came to Glacier in early September, moderating the fires and smoke. It wasn't until two days before my flight that I made the final decision to make my destination Glacier.
Following the theme of my other 2018 hikes, this one had more than its share of 'adventure' - forest fires and smoke, cold temperatures combined with rain, sleet, ice pellets, snow, and wind... plus a bit of hypothermia. But it also had in abundance the indescribably breathtaking scenery that the backcountry of Glacier has to offer. And it provided what is certainly the most enjoyable night I've ever spent in a backcountry campsite on the last night in Bowman Lake campground.
For those who have watched my other videos this one is done in the same style - a little over an hour in length, intended to bring the audience along for the ride, and with a still picture slide show with music at the end. If you just have a few minutes skip to the end and enjoy the pictures.

Backpacking Glacier National Park: Kintla Lake, Boulder Pass, Hole in the Wall, Bowman Lake
This is a 4 day backpacking trip along one of the more premier routes in Glacier National Park. We start at Kintla Lake, hike over Boulder Pass to Hole in the Wall, and then go down through Brown Pass to Bowman Lake. We have lots of thunderstorms and rain. This is also the return of Mario. I met Mario by chance twice. First, in 2014 in Yellowstone when he picked me up while I was hitching a ride, and then again in Glacier while at the West Glacier Bar, when he then joined me and Keith for a backpacking trip. I hope to have a trip report written up soon for this. You can take a closer look at the route here:
