Huh? What? OK, OK . . . no nearby palm trees, no soft white or cream colored sands, but beaches nevertheless! Just make sure you wear shoes! Let’s go . . .
The Beaches of Montana
Tag: Montana
Hello From Montana!
You may be wondering–she is writing posts in November and December about trips she took last May and June! What’s up??
Well, after a six-week stay and quite a bit of quality-of-life considerations, I decided to move back to Montana. The move happened the end of September 2025. Now trying to catch up writing about great trips to Utah and western Colorado, but first I needed time for reflecting on the past six years in Colorado Springs. Now beginning to meet folks here, see where I can volunteer or help out, and today dealing with more normal weather (snow). The weather for the last week has been crazy unusual. I think the East Coast got our weather as we “enjoyed” nearly 70 degrees–in February!
So, to where exactly did I move? Glad you asked. A community nearly dead center north/south/east/west in Montana. A town of about 6,200 people and the county seat of Fergus County: Lewistown.

Glacier’s Two-Waterfall Ramble
Well hi! What a delight to visit Glacier National Park again. Let’s take a two-waterfall hike to Saint Mary Falls then Virginia Falls on the east side of the park. This is the first time for me and maybe you too, so grab your gear and let’s go. It will be 3.6 miles round trip with lots of wide switchbacks taking us first down about 260 feet then up about 280 feet–then doing it in reverse. Let’s take our time and enjoy the ramble because we’ll no doubt be huffing and puffing as we go!

Back At You! Walking Along the Missouri River
Hello everyone! It has been a hectic four plus months and I’ve missed you! Yes, I’m still alive, still taking pictures, and still heading into the wilderness. The biggest change is I’ve gone back to school working toward a second Master’s degree. OK, this is a lot of work, and since I’m retired I sometimes ask: WHY? Well, because I’m a life-long learner and can’t help myself.
So in my crazy, busy, demanding new school life, I “escaped” one morning to visit a place I love close by. We have walked here before, Missouri River Headwaters State Park. This day I arrived before sunrise to soak in the pre-dawn beauty, the glorious sun coming over the mountains, and the autumn landscape.
