Glacier National Park

Since we are in between the summer and fall fishing seasons right now, we took the chance to get away for a week to do a 5 day, 55 mile backpack in Glacier National Park. It’s nice to escape the cell phone and computer when we can.

We took all kinds of smoked salmon, jerky, and fillets for the trip.

I tend to take a bunch of tail pieces with me whenever I go backpacking. The tails are boneless, and are easier to break up in the package, which helps everything from getting too greasy.

And then dump the whole thing into pasta..

We only saw a handful of people over the course of 5 days, and were inundated with the beautiful views.

We have the Puget Sound Keta season starting in the next week or two, so be on the lookout for an update on that soon.
