Summer continues this week! We drove up to Logan's Pass in Glacier National Park on Sunday hoping to snag a parking place and hike the highline trail. No luck, everyone else had the same idea on a gorgeous Sunday. So, continued down the east side and did a little hike - really a walk - to Baring falls near St. Mary Lake. See photo below taken from the trail.

    News in the paper the last week has been about cities and Flathead County all dealing with budget cuts in light of reduced home construction revenue in the valley lately. Builders have decided to not be to gung ho on speculative building until buyers start buying more actively. Just another cycle to get through and then things should pick up again. We are thankful that our valley doesn't  have the steep peaks and valleys that are seen in some other real estate valleys. We are impacted to a very minor degree when taking in what is happening in other parts of the country.

    High school sports are in full swing for the fall. Cross Country teams could be seen from Highway 93 in Kalispell running on Saturday while at Glacier High School, what looked like j.v. football was being played.

    Have a great weekend and head to the Park while you still can and get in a great fall foliage hike!
