      My buddy Jim Pilkey sitting in the front of
      a boat in Glacier National Park prior to our departure into the
      backcountry 
      My friend Jim Pilkey and I spent
      5 nights and 6 days backpacking in the Backcountry area of Glacier
      National Park in Montana. We hiked an average of 8-11 miles a day and
      covered over 65 miles. Temperatures during our trip ranged from a steamy
      95 degrees at the start of the trip down to 31 degrees at our highest
      elevation. Out of the 6 days we were in the backcountry, it rained for
      steadily for 5. Our gear stayed wet the entire time we were there.
      Although this was a physically challenging adventure, we had a really
      great time. 
      Below are a few pictures from
      our trip.
