Well not enough time for a proper update, but I figured I would upload a few pictures. After 3 days of driving I arrived at Glacier National park for some fun in the Rockies. Highlights – Spending a whole day hiking on snow and actually using crampons, practicing self arrest (stopping yourself with you ice axe when sliding down steep angle snow), watching some big horn sheep, 4th of July fireworks, and (intentionally) experiencing the effects of bear spray and then being “incapacitated” for the next 15 minutes.
Currently in Idaho’s Sawtooth mountains. Awesome country.
