World Wildlife Day

World Wildlife Day with Mountain Goat at Logan Pass, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA

One of my favorite experiences with wildlife is seeing the Mountain Goats at Glacier National Park in Montana, USA. If you ever get the opportunity to go, take the trail from Logan Pass to the Hidden Lake Overlook.

Near the overlook, there are often mountain goats rummaging around in the rocks and bushes. They come very close and seem so tame that you really have to remind yourself that they are wild animals and should be dealt with using wariness and caution.

Glacier National Park has also been the place where we have seen grizzly bears, moose, and many other species of wildlife. Someday we would like to see a wolf (from a very great distance).

Winter Getaways

I like winter, the chill of the first frost is invigorating and the first snow is exciting. Sometime in February though, I have to remind myself of the things I like about winter.

A getaway to a place outside of my routine and often with better snow is one of the ways I like to remind myself that winter is fun. Sometimes it’s a day trip to one of our mountain trails or some snowshoeing and sometimes it’s a weekend getaway.

What about you? Do you like winter? What do you Ike to do to getaway in winter?
