As stated in the article, they vaccinated not just the Indigenous, but any Canadian that showed up while they still had vaccine left to give. I know people that left Calgary in the wee hours of the morning and waited in line at the border for 12 hours, but were unfortunately turned away when the do...

Awesome to see so many permits coming in! Keeping my fingers crossed for Paul and Pete and anxiously checking my email. Sue Z - would love to cross paths with you in September!
The waiting is agony.
Wishing y'all good fortune.
Meet-up would be great!
Happy to report that I got a hike in early September. Cue the dancing banana. :arrow: Their elevation numbers are a surprise, though. I thought that the gain to Ptarmigan Tunnel was 2300 ft., and the gain to Chief Mtn. Trailhead was 600 ft. Oopsie, gonna need to eat my Wheaties. ENTER - ICEBERG/PTAR...

For those keeping track, I got my permit this morning ATL-MOR in late July. Not my first choice, but good a good first time backpacker trip nonetheless.
Great news! Happy for you! Lots of wildflowers on the way to ATL.
Can someone pls provide a link to the page where i can see which sites are still available on various nights? Thanks! David I use this link, and click on the campground that I'm interested in. It shows how many sites are still available each day. https://www.nps.gov/applications/glac/bcpermits/bcad...
Logged into my email during my coffee break and what do you know, an email from Glacier, I got it! :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: Exactly what I wanted!

Tina spoke just a tad too soon as at 8:34 AM, guess who got an email that I didn't see until returning from my successful owl hunt? If you guessed me, you would be correct. It's one of the leisurely outings we applied for: OLD NON UPT
Hi Sue, So we followed the lake shore toward Ahern pass for awhile. There is a faint trail to follow there. The first part of trail is overgrown and is requires bush wacking. We climbed a ramp about half way down the lake shore. As we climbed the ramp there were numerous animal trails leading upwar...

So it’s been 3 weeks and no one here has a permit yet? Seems like a long time for no one to have heard back.
Agree. I'm getting a little edgy. I'll get a walk-in if I must, but I hate getting up at 4:00 in the morning!
The most treacherous part of that whole day was coming back down to the lake. The people I was with chose to take a a very steep grassy slope back down. It was filled with hidden rodent holes and was also very slippery. I knew it was a not a good choice beforehand but went along with it anyway. Tha...
Some photos of Helen lake From the goat trail above the lake OMG, from the goat trail??? I'd be clinging to the cliffs, not fiddling with my camera! You must have nerves of steel, sir. :D Actually it wasn't too bad at the point where I took these pictures. The trail was wide and flat like a sidewal...
