  • Thanks! Yeah, I think Stanley glacier may be my favorite hike up here so far, but they’ve all been so nice. There is a ton I’ll need to come back and do since I came through here so early, but I am more than happy to come back. I’ve got maybe 10 more days to check out castle park and waterton area before I cross back into the states for a little while heading east. There’s still a ton of daily hikes to post before then though, I’m just going through in the order they happened.








  • Yeah, I continued on to just past the hill with the ropes to get up and then turned around after seeing that viewpoint of the long rapid/falls. Seems like it gets pretty wild from there on. Tomorrow I’ll post a group of photos from that section beyond the main falls. Although I couldn’t get a photo I like, I think my favorite section was half a mile or less beyond the main falls where that huge wedge rock is getting cut by the river before you start to climb again. I believe that is where the camping may also be. IIRC one of the falls I’ll post tomorrow is just upstream of it. That and the bridge, I love pedestrian bridges haha.























  • Yeah, i’m still learning darktable so some of these images may still come out looking a bit odd on the post processing. I’m likely to go back through each of the ones i already uploaded to flickr and reupload better processed ones now that I’m getting a better handle on the software, because there are some that I feel already look much better after a second pass.

    As for the over-exposure on these, yeah I got a newer lens over the winter and when I got there I realized I never got any ND filters for it so I was just dealing with the sun. I tried playing with the images but found that I could never find anything that made me happy, and I didn’t think the original image was good enough to dig too deep into it if I’m being honest. The waterfall itself is doing all the heavy lifting on that one haha.

    Long story short, the processing should improve over time but I thank you very much for the advice.


  • Thanks! Those are some good photos as well! Yeah, I considered doing green mtn lookout as I was passing through, but ended up not doing it. Think I was more interested in getting a shower in clearwater at that point or something haha, maybe next time. Pretty sure that road to Trophy mtn was still closed at the time but it also sounded like a good one.



  • Thanks! Glad you like them. I’ll be posting one trail a day like this for the foreseeable future. May miss a day or two if I don’t reach cell service but outside of that I should be good. I’ve got two months of canada hikes with one more month up here, plus 1,000 miles worth of trails from last year that I still need to deal with, so I should be able to keep it going for a while… The plan is to get trail write-ups for everything I do put up on a blog I’m trying to get going, but learning wordpress while spending the majority of your time in the woods is difficult haha. It’s gotten to the point that I need to just start putting some this out there though, and hope that spurs me forward on the rest.

    HQ versions of all of these are up on flickr.com/everydayhiker/ as well, with more photos for every trail.
