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.
