Montana Thaws
 
Wrapping up the first week back from vacation. Whew! What a week.  Happily I can report and have taken much comfort in the fact that Northwest Montana is experiencing unseasonably warm weather. Indeed things have been quite spring-like this week which has it’s up’s and down’s.
Up’s include wintercoat-free hikes in Glacier National Park and turning the thermostat. Down’s include slushy walkways and well, i can’t think of anything else that is negative about warming weather — especially since the snow on Big Mountain is still thriving while the valley floor is thawing!
This weekend I will venture out to evaluate the scene again at Glacier. This morning I did notice ad’s in the paper for help at the Belton Chalet and other hotels that service Glacier. The atmosphere is certainly ripe for “the season” and fun things are on the way!
