Re: An 8 hr video--Of a hike to Iceberg

Tibber, we're one of those that hung in there for your backpack up to Hole and Boulder Pass. I enjoyed your footage and especially your knowledge of wildflowers. You showed so many that we had not noticed or identified before. I had in mind to rerun your video before my next trip as a primer about t...

Re: New Bear Den Webcam

Hey Daschmit, Remarkable story on Pitamakan! I’d not heard anything about her before and certainly adds special meaning to Running Eagle Falls. You may be aware of our own Chatter Pitamakin who has made such a great contribution here over the years with his vast knowledge of the North Fork area and ...

Great Capture JustMike! :wink: He's SO CUuuuute!
Good thoughts there on the name Cotten for the type tree he's in.
Not knowing which area of the Park he's residing, the name Dawson came to mind....

Other suggestions?? :arrow:

Re: Sperry Restoration Plans

Thanks Sue, glad for that timely reminder.
Sperry IS a treasure and I hope NPS will be dedicated in seeing to The Restoration. I did notice that the period for public comment ends on April 2nd.

Re: Trekking poles---worth the hassle?

I can't read it either. Be careful to keep it away from the critters. My poles are made of nylon, foam, plastic and aluminum and have been well chewed by deer and marmots. They would go crazy with a delicacy like real leather. As Orin says, best to guard that nice pole from critters...and I would a...

Granite Park Reservations

Was getting nostalgic that this was the time of year to reserve the Chalets (thinking of Sperry). :cry:

But on a happy note....
Anyone get lucky with reservations on Monday?
