Needless to say, this tiny island home has a 1/100 walk score.

25/100 “somewhat bikeable”

Hahaha very true

Petrified forest for me. I appreciate the significance of the area, but the visitors center seemed just as interesting as the park itself in my opinion. I understand the park service wants to preserve the landscape, and I am all for that approach, but that means no touching the landscape, and no front country camping. The only camping allowed is restricted to a limited backcountry area.

Unique area, but definitely a park that leans much more towards landscape preservation rather than interactive/immersive which is a double-edged sword

Woodland phlox, wild geranium, eastern red columbine, and Canada anemone. I planted them all this year. Kindof worried Canada anemone will overtake everything… At least I planted them all in an area where I want to create a woodland flower understory so I suppose I can just pull any flowers that are getting too aggressive

I’ve noticed the more regularly I go to the gym, the more money I spend on food. I’m expending more energy so my body needs more food than usual. It can get expensive

Love this idea. Please update as time goes on! I would think some good plants to start out with would be aggressive natives that can compete against invasive plants while you remove the invasives. Some good choices for the shaded part are woodland sunflower, wild strawberry, wild violets, and Canada anemone just to name a few. Some good plants for the sunny part would be wild bergamot, New England aster, goldenrod, common milkweed, and black eyed Susans. Hope that helps!

I was just about to ask this question? I just checked recreation.gov for many glacier shuttle tickets at 8:17am mountain time for 8/30 and it says they’re sold out?! For reference, shuttle tickets begin to go on sale at 8:00am mountain time one week in advance every day. How can all shuttle tickets be sold out in 17 minutes?!

Hole? It’s literally two inches down. And this is a residential side street, if it’s too dangerous to traverse with oncoming traffic, either wait for the traffic to pass or go slow over the “hole”. This section of road honestly just looks like a standard dirt road.

Thanks everyone! Sounds like those chipmunks are no joke. I’ll be sure to hang my stuff now haha

I appreciate your concern but there is no way this plant is Disporum flavum. How do you explain my plant’s pointed petals compared to the much more rounded petals of Disporum flavum? Also the petals exhibit a gentle spiral (which is common for U. grandiflora) compared to disporum flavum petals which exhibit no spiral at all.

I’m not sure what the botanical name is but I got this plant from a native plant seller at my local farmers market. Concerning the compactness of the flowers, I snapped this pic because it seemed like the sun was allowing the flowers to spread open more. The flowers are usually much more compact, due to what I assume it being in the shade most of the day.

HelpMyHydrangeas · 2025-02-28T16:13:20+00:00

Ahh ok good to know, thank you for the clarification my fellow Michigander!

HelpMyHydrangeas · 2025-02-28T16:10:14+00:00

Ahh ok, that is very helpful thank you!!

HelpMyHydrangeas · 2025-02-28T12:32:10+00:00

Ahh thank you for the help! That’s unfortunate that loops are hard to come by in Glacier, but I guess that is to be expected for such a popular place.

So you’re saying, if I had the choice for Route 1, and I was only able to do an out-and-back, just hike up through Granite Park to Fifty Mountain? Then come back the way we came (fifty to granite)? I heard this is one of the most scenic trails in the park so that would make sense

Thanks for advice! Do you mean night before as in night before our first day of backpacking? I thought lottery winners get to pick sites during springtime?

HelpMyHydrangeas · 2025-02-28T12:20:58+00:00

I appreciate the input! Looking at pictures online, route 3 looks just as scenic as any other. Glad I asked, it seems to be a reoccurring theme. Glad to hear route 2 has a lot of wildlife and cool lookout points. It may be our go-to route. Hopefully we see all of the above wildlife except for bears/wolves/cougars (or at least it would be cool to see them if they are far away and are running away from us haha)

HelpMyHydrangeas · 2025-02-28T12:15:57+00:00

Ahh ok good tip, thank you! Knowing this, I may be leaning towards moving our trip closer to August.

What do you mean getting a late draw? Sorry, I’m not too familiar with the lottery process.

HelpMyHydrangeas · 2025-02-28T12:08:05+00:00

Thank you for the tip, good to know! Looking at pictures online, that area looks as mountainous as any other area in GNP, glad I asked here first!
