I sure am glad I do a lot of lunges in the gym. Last weekend I was invited ice climbing with some friends. We headed up toward Hyalite Canyon as much needed fresh snow piled up around us. The trail up to the icefall was not easy. Like a rookie, I left my trekking poles... Continue Reading →

Hellroarin’ Huckleberries
The Montana Moves August Challenge is to try a new physical activity. On the first Saturday of August, me, my mom, and my dog Skyler set out on a hike.
