Glacier National Park, Montana – August 21, 2012 (to 5:00 p.m.)
Tuesday: This was Julie’s last day in the park. With a flight leaving at 2:00 p.m., she had arranged for the shuttle to pick her up at Apgar Village at noon. Thus, she had very little time left for adventure. … Continue reading
Glacier National Park, Montana – August 20, 2012
Monday: For the second day in a row, we woke up early and were on the road by 7:00 a.m. The “rush” today was that we wanted to cut the distance we would be hiking by taking a boat shuttle … Continue reading
Glacier National Park, Montana – August 18-19, 2012
Saturday: This was my Sabbath, from about 8:30 p.m. on Friday to about 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, so Julie knew that she was on her own as far as traveling and sightseeing. Julie decided to wake early and travel to explore … Continue reading
Glacier National Park, Montana – August 17, 2012
Friday: While planning the trip, Julie and I had each read the Moon Guide and listed the hikes we were interested in. We both agreed that the 11.6-mile Highline Trail/Loop Trail sounded good. These trails run between Logan Pass and … Continue reading

Macedonia Brook State Park, Litchfield County, CT
Macedonia Brook State Park is located in northwest Connecticut, so it was a significantly farther drive than the two parks I recently visited in the southwest part of the state. It is near Kent, and driving there involved driving over Bull’s Bridge, … Continue reading
Storm King State Park, Orange County, New York
I recruited Yigal and Nachi to go hiking with me, and Nachi recruited three other people. I suggested three or four hikes to Nachi, and he selected Storm King, which I had never visited before. Storm King State Park sits on the west side … Continue reading
Peekamoose Mountain & Table Mountain, Ulster County, NY
This Jewish Outdoors Club hike in the Catskills was limited to 15 people, but 7 canceled, leaving 8 of us. I gave a lift to Jonathan from my neighborhood, and we detoured into Brooklyn to pick up two ladies. Our designated … Continue reading
Fishkill Ridge, Dutchess County, New York
The Jewish Outdoors Club offered two hikes on this day, and I registered for the strenuous one. I drove and gave a lift to three other men from my neighborhood. As we crossed the Whitestone bridge into the Bronx, Nachi, who had organized … Continue reading
