moody mornings in the mountains.

This is probably one of the most popular hikes in Glacier National Park and I can understand why. It's only 1.5 miles and about 500' of elevation gain to get to this spot.

One of my new favorite hikes in Glacier National Park.

The smoke rolled in a bit on this day, but we were still able to ascend 3,700' to get to this incredible view!

It's impossible to go to Glacier National Park without seeing the famous red vintage 1930s tour buses. I spotted this one driving down Going to the Sun Road and caught a quick hand-held long exposure to capture the movement!

In case you didn't know it, I was gone for the last 2 weeks on a road trip and it started off with a banger sunset on Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park.

In yesterday's post I said that was the second best hike of last weekend. Here are some of the images from the best hike of the weekend!

These were some shots from one of the hikes we did last Friday. The funny thing is...this was the second best hike of the weekend.

Story Time - Last Friday, my good pal here on Instagram, .adventures posted in her caption, "would you rather have noisy camp neighbors all night or have pesky mosquito neighbors?" Well...on Friday evening, Leslie and I found a great camp-spot (image 3). We had pre-prepared some dinner and as soon as we started warming it up, the mosquitoes knew we were there and I immediately started thinking about Elizabeth's 'would you rather.' The mosquitoes were exactly how she described them too...pesky!

About 10 minutes later, just as we were finishing up our dinner, we figured we heard somebody pull in. Actually, we heard multiple vehicles pull in. 2 RV's, a trailer, and a couple other cars. And they parked right next to us for about 30 minutes with their engines on, trying to figure out a good spot to take. As their deliberation came to an end, they decided to take a spot about 150' feet from us. I'm not sure how many people were in this group but it was not small.

At this point, it's about 930 and we wanted to get to bed for an early start in the morning. As they set up, we were fortunate that they were not being too noisy. As time went on though, things changed. After about a half hour, I turned on white noise to help drown them out. I think I slept for a little bit, but I woke up to a blaring bass beating in my ear drums, shaking my entire body. I checked my phone - it was 1:42 AM. That is not okay. I contemplated going over there, however, fortunately quiet hours must be at 2AM because that's when they decided to turn off the music and end karaoke.

So, going back to Elizabeth's question, I would certainly not choose BOTH but I would absolutely 100% choose the pesky mosquitoes.

p.s. my favorite is image number 8!

This past weekend was the first successful PNW Astrophotography Meetup of the season, despite the fact that only 2 of us (plus Leslie) made it out there! I finally got to meet and he got to shoot astro for the first time. When planning these meetups, my goal is to set locations spread out through the PNW as much as I can. If you are interested in meeting up with some local PNW folks to shoot the stars, let me know and I will add you to the list to let you know about future meetups.These meetups are free and open to anyone of any skill level, even if you just got your first camera! Hope to see you out there!

Leslie & I made a weekend out of this one and headed down Friday night. We did some hiking on Friday evening and Saturday before the meetup. More stories about that to come tomorrow...
