Notes:
Reading Time: 19 minutesWhy are there so many falls named Ouzel? Who was this famous Ouzel? Well you won’t get those answers here, but I did hike to see Ouzel Falls (Gros Ventre version) with my 8 year-old daughter, and we explored Chateau Lake (a first for me) and Brewster Lake, too.
Reading Time: 31 minutesIs this the best way to access Iceberg Lake? I don’t know, but it’s the best way to visit Elbow Lake No 2, and who doesn’t want to do that?

Reading Time: 6 minutesThe Sierra Designs Flex Capacitor 60-80L has replaced my Osprey Atmos AG 65 as my preferred pack. It shaves off a significant amount of weight while retaining comfort under heavy loads, finding an excellent position between ultra-light and ultra-rigged packs, and the price simply can’t be beaten. Although it has fewer bells and whistles, I haven’t minded that even a tiny bit.
Reading Time: 2 minutesYou’ve probably encountered a leader before, and perhaps even a religious one, who is controlling in a negative sense. By this, I mean a person who might have some of the following traits: In such cases, you have actually not encountered a leader, but rather a dictator.
