For the third year in a row Rick Graetz brought a class of UofM students up in January for his mountain class.
19 students , Ricks wife Susie and two more faculty members, Sarah Halverson and Sally Thompson stayed at the North Fork Hostel for school and some good times.
The Polebridge Mercantile provided everybody with great lunch sandwiches and beverages, of course! Heather at the Northern Lights Saloon cooked some great meals for all. Besides all the academic stuff Rick and Susie also put up a great Montana slide show at Sondreson Hall and invited interested community members, and did they love it!
John Hoiland took a bunch of us up the TrailCreek Caves. We also stopped at the bubblers and where Trail Creek doubles in size! John is seen here swinging the dance leg with the students.

Located in the North Fork Valley just west of Glacier National Park, the North Fork Hostel offers guests a choice of accommodations in an old-fashioned, homey atmosphere. It's a place to get away, relax, meet new friends and enjoy the beauty of Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest.
Propane lights brighten your nights (there's no electricity in Polebridge). Although the area is off the power grid, the hostel has its own power supply to offer you a cordless phone, a fax machine and a computer. Camcorder and digital camera batteries may be recharged at the hostel, we even have wifi!. A propane cooking range and refrigerators are available to make your food preparation easier after you have spent an exciting day exploring the area.

GRIZZLY WIDE PASS — No one knows for sure when humans first discovered this impossible place.
Perhaps it happened on a warm summer evening like this one, an awe-struck group of backcountry travellers watching the mountain goats brave an amphitheatre of sheer rock atop southeastern B.C.'s Flathead Valley.
Then one billy goat breaks from the herd and adopts a methodical track along a barely perceptible switchback rising to the top of a hanging valley. Watching from a distance, you can almost sense the laboured breathing as he follows the receding alpenglow ever upwards to the clouds.

Polebridge hostel owner sells his keys to the world
By MICHAEL JAMISON of the Missoulian
POLEBRIDGE - His first impulse was to run, to turn tail and never look back at that ramshackle stack of logs the real estate agent kept calling a cabin.
“But I was looking for something a little more exciting than Ohio, and the more I thought about it, the more exciting it seemed,” John Frederick said.
Frederick wanted to live “somewhere on the rustic side,” and his future ex-wife wanted to run a hostel, like the European hostels in which she'd spent four years while traveling the continent.

SPRING SERENITY
By LARRY KLINE - Independent Record - 03/26/09
POLEBRIDGE - I awoke to a thump-thump-thump sound of fresh spring snow blowing off the trees and landing on the metal roof.
It was morning in North Fork Country.
