I got to go to Glacier on a field trip for my Natural Resource Conservation class as a junior in high school. We spoke to some conservationists and did some activities like planting young trees and shrubs, as well as learning how to count and observe vegetation. It was an incredible experience for me as a youth discovering their love for natural sciences, and now I’m going to school for Environmental Science and Sustainability! I’m the orange haired person in the center of the photo :)

Greetings from Glacier National Park
Family gatherings at Apgar since 1950s. My Dad’s favorite place to take us. We all have kept this tradition alive and will keep in our family generations to come.

Greetings from Glacier National Park
While hiking the Highline Trail, encountered this big Griz above the trail digging for grubs (or whatever), and had to dodge a few rocks that the big fella dislodged downhill while getting this photo.
