Here is a take of the restored McCarthy Homestead on Big Prairie. Excellent day for the first bike ride of the season, the inside north fork road is still very, very muddy and snow covered but sure beats what we had for the last couple of months as far as bike riding goes.

what a great day to start the new year- in the background you can see Stanton, Mt. Vaught and Heavens Peak and many more of the Glacier Park Peaks of course. Happy New Year to everybody!

Paddle-boarding Bowman Lake
Marco couldn’t help himself paddle boarding on Bowman Lake, the swim had to be part of his plan all along…
Mt Thompson-Seton II
Huckleberry Frostys all the way up to Semo Pass, what a treat! Probably the best ones I’ve ever had! There was up to 8 inches of snow on top with drifts significantly higher, it felt a lot like winter up there but when the breeze stopped it was really pleasant! 
Nasukoin Mountain
While the alpine larch are turning and with some good October sunshine another of my all time favored north fork hikes…
Kintla Lake
Another fall favorite is an outing to Kintla Lake on boats. Marco loves to play with the folbot sailing rig…
