Some of you knew already, some did not, but I have been on the road since July 31 exploring the the rest of the US Rockies from the Southeast corner of Utah, all the way up through Idaho to Canada, over to Glacier National Park in Montana, and from there, making my way back to Colorado through Wyoming. While I have explored the Rockies extensively in Colorado, and have a fair amount of knowledge about this magnificent range outside of Colorado, truth be told I have never been to the Rockies outside of the centennial state.
The purpose of my trip is multifold. First and foremost, I wish to see and experience whole new places I’ve never been to before. A large part of this is play, vacation, and fun, but another large reason for taking the trip is to get a better feel for the Rockies as a whole and to also pick up some design inspiration for new house models in the near future. My visit to the Sawtooth Mountains has already inspired one such model, I just need the time to develop it. I’m thinking places such as Missoula and Jackson Hole will also inspire great new ideas.
So, if you have tried getting in touch with me as of late, I apologize if I haven’t got back to you. I am traveling through some rather remote parts of the country and cell service/internet aren’t always readily available. I should be back in Durango at the end of the month and ready to start construction on the first house for sale. I’m super excited about this next project, and although I’m having a blast on the road, am eager to get back home and get the ball rolling. If you do need to get a hold of me, email is probably the best ( greg@rockymountaintinyhouses.com ) Thanks for checking in! Be prepared for some awesome Tiny House action! Now, I must go off and find the next mountain bike trail to ride and hot spring to soak in thereafter.
Cool! I was in Glacier National Park between 7/31 and 8/6. Hiked the Gunsight Pass Trail. What a great park
Did you happen to eat at the Park Cafe in St. Mary or Serranos in East Glacier Park? Great food at both. I like the east side of Glacier much more. It was a bit touristy heading towards Kalispell on the west side. Just cows, ranches and the Blackfeet Reservation on the east side.
After having been at Glacier I really, really hope global warming reverses itself but I doubt it will. The park is an environment too good to lose.
Hey Peter,
I actually did eat at Park Cafe! I had to go for BBQ in East Glacier at the Whistlestop. After seeing what little glaciers are left, it’s not looking good for the future of ice in this park, but I’ve been told there are better glaciers further north in Canada anyways. Thanks for checking in.
