I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog lately, I admit. But it’s because I’ve been steadfastly prepping for the upcoming photography season (which is going to be awesome!), and I’ve also been taking time to better my business from behind the scenes, as well as better myself personally and spend time with friends and family before life gets all crazy again. This also means I’ve finally gotten around to editing some of my own personal images. So, I thought I’d share a few here.

Last September I took some time to meet up with my brother and his girlfriend in Glacier National Park. They took the train from Portland into Whitefish, unpacked their bikes, and cycled into the park and over the Going to the Sun Road. I met up with them at Many Glacier campground where we enjoyed making a fire, soaking up the quiet night sounds (including the moving notes of “Taps” on 9/11), and the brilliant shining stars dotting the night sky.

The next day we hiked to Grinnell Glacier, so the majority of the photos you’ll see here are from that little jaunt up the mountainside. Keep an eye out for bighorn sheep and mountain goats. :)

The remaining photos are from the Going to the Sun Road. I had packed up their bike gear in my car so my brother and his girlfriend could bike the road unencumbered. I’d find myself ahead of them now and again, and I’d pull off and be at the ready to capture them as they made their way up the grade.

The drive back to Whitefish was slow and leisurely, and I stopped off at a lot of little pullouts just to explore and stare at all the gorgeous water.

We all met up that evening in Whitefish and treated ourselves to some tasty sushi. I left them with their gear and their bikes by the train station, and I zipped on back to Missoula, where I was treated to a lovely Flathead Lake sunset. (One of my most favorite places to see that giant burning orb sink into the horizon.)

So, quick trip, but oh-so-worth-it! And if you haven’t been to Glacier already, what are you waiting for? Go soak up some of nature’s finest eye candy. It comes highly recommended.

With no further ado, here are the pics!
