Wildlife along the CDT @ Montana's Glacier National Park

Along our ~42 mile hike during September 2021 I saw:
Mountain Goats
Moose
Black Bears
Big Horn Sheep
Mountain Grouse

We also saw a couple of grizzlies from the NPS bus feasting on berries close to the road on our way to Saint Mary but did not capture any media of them; There were many motorists already stopped there attending to that task.

We began our hike at Saint Mary Visitor Center and spent 5 days over 4 nights on the Continental Divide Trail to reach the trailhead at Two Medicine.

Special thanks to uncle Gene for contributing additional media to this project.

$S6 E12 Mt Raymond Circumnavigation, Wasatch Range, Utah June 2018 Mt Raymond is slightly lower than its popular neighbor, Gobblers Knob, but it is more fun to climb and worthy for circumnavigation. The angular peak rises from the apex of three weathered limestone ridges that come together at roughly equal angles on the eastern side of the Mount Olympus Wilderness Area. There are a variety of trailhead options to approach Mt Raymond. For this loop, started on the Porter Fork Trail, connected with the Desolation trail and returned on the Bowman Fork Trail. The approach to Mount Raymond climbs steadily up the grassy ridge from Baker Pass for 0.5 miles, but then seems to disappear at the base of a badly fractured knife-edge ridge of quartzite. Proceed straight up the crest of the ridge. Although you will need both hands, the climb along the knife-edge is not nearly as bad as it looks. Furthermore, this is the worst part of the climb. Beyond the knife-edge there is more minor scrambling, with bits and pieces of the trail visible. It is easiest if you stay right on the crest of the ridge. Within another ten to fifteen minutes you should be at the top.
