Glacier National Park opened May 11, 1910.

We’ve never been in Glacier on its Inaugural opening day anniversary, May 11, until today.

It’s fun to think about what, who, where, when, and how the day went in 1910.

Going-to-the-Sun Road didn’t open for another 22 years.

i’ve spent my life becoming over-focused on intentionally.

dad

As the day unfolded, an opportunity become randomly apparent. Would it be possible to intentionally become the first Lake McDonald Lodge Guest of the 2024 season to buy a round at Lucke’s Lounge?

Stay tuned.

The best relationships have breadth and depth.

Seeing all of Glacier’s deciduous trees in buds is a first.

It’s a deeper insight into a season that always happens but we’ve never seen it until this visit.

Securing the dock

Nature is my favorite professor.

Apgar’s marina dock get’s pulled out of the water in late September or early October.

Apgar’s marina dock get’s put back in the water in May.

For eight months the dock sits on the shore. The goal is to avoid damage when the lake freezes and to wait for water levels to rise in Spring.
