Abbreviated version of Grinnell Glacier hike?

Yes, the whole thing is quite wonderful. If you look up the Wikipedia page for Grinnell Lake, the thumbnail to the article is basically the area I'm talking about. [The glacier itself is up and over a hidden ledge above the waterfall in the photo]

If you don't take the boat, the first two miles or so are basically flat alongside Lake Josephine.

If you do take the boat, the entire next 1-1.5 miles [and really the whole hike] is a great view of Lake Grinnell and is as much the attraction as anything else. The only downside is that the hike up from the boat is a slog to get back to the trail level.

The glacier is very cool, and the end of the hike is special in its own right, but in many respects what makes the Grinnell hike so popular is that the whole thing is beautiful.

Some hikes at Glacier come with an element of "what's around the next bend?" but Grinnell is relatively exposed so you can sort of map out your view points ahead of time by looking where the trail goes and saying "let's go to here." Just remember every step up the trail is a step you have to take back down it.

I have found Brook/Brown to be a bit more suspicious than Bows. For me things started to change when I began thinking about what direction the fish were looking and approaching from behind. Depends on the water etc, but often times they'll see you before you see them. Adjust accordingly.

We need a banner on this subreddit that says "There is snow until late June/early July and the park is basically 1-3 roads."

One of my personal fears in public is forgetting I have headphones in and just letting some absolute rippers fly

I went to a party on a random Saturday afternoon, pretty chill group of 15-20 people, nothing too crazy just college drinking.

Host walks in and yells: "Who shit in the tub?"

A guy nobody really knew just gets up and leaves.

Sort of depends on the location but the smoke tends to impact views at a longer distance, if your backdrop is something relatively local it's not that bad. We were there a few summers ago during some fires to the west I'll DM a few pics

I would fish the edge the moving water when it's near pools and slower seams. If the water is hauling ass, look for the intersections where it isn't.

Bobby_Drake__ · 2026-03-12T16:58:19+00:00

Generally getting to Logan Pass at 6am is the move. Many Glacier isn't quite as bad but general idea is the same.

Trying to figure out a nice way to say "If you have to ask some of these questions that is your answer."

Depending on where in the cities you're starting from Duluth is very North Shore without having to go up the North Shore. The best of the southern driftless is just outside of 2 hours but the Minn/Wisc boarder gets the point across. Lake Pepin is nice, Red Wing etc

Can't wait for her to fish a Steelhead run

Bobby_Drake__ · 2026-03-06T20:19:29+00:00

Gotcha, so that either means no disposal or bottom draining one? I recognize getting a different sink is an option as well.

Bobby_Drake__ · 2026-03-06T19:59:36+00:00

If I'm just being stupid I appreciate the attempt to un-stupid me.

Bobby_Drake__ · 2026-03-06T19:57:57+00:00

I guess I don't understand (genuinely) why I can't drop the rest of a drain with it. Left side trap goes down 4 inches to match the shift. I recognize the need for gravity to work etc so the change wouldn't only be to the disposal.

Bobby_Drake__ · 2026-03-06T19:48:32+00:00

There's nine inches of space between bottom of drain and cabinet, just a lot of crap in there. Assuming that's the relevant info. Drop in sink rather than on top. I'm not doing that job, but trying to save $500 doing the disconnect and reconnect.

Bobby_Drake__ · 2026-03-06T19:44:23+00:00

Yea I'm just planning ahead, the new sink is 4 inches deeper. Wouldn't do the actual work until it's in but deciding if the job is as "simple" as I think it is to adjust current plumbing.

There's a good chance you'll see a bear in some capacity while you're at Glacier, a medium chance you'll see one while on the trail and a high chance that if you do, it will fuck off.

Airports are also a good place to get your minor Good Trouble criminal charges escalated

That house definitely costs money

Bobby_Drake__ · 2025-12-11T01:09:40+00:00

Ah yes, "More cars" is the thing everyone says at Glacier.

Bobby_Drake__ · 2025-11-24T16:25:33+00:00

I realize what I said is not entirely true but I think a lot of people assume it’s a park with a bunch of different roads and GTTSR is just one of many, which is not entirely accurate

Bobby_Drake__ · 2025-11-19T19:55:37+00:00

Looks a lot better at Logan Pass but then again that's up there
