The Murie family has a storied legacy in conservation from wildlife studies to conserving public land. Many of these efforts occurred in the cabins at the ranch in Grand Teton National Park, just a short walk from the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center

The hike up to Static Peak Divide in Grand Teton National Park gives you breathtaking views of Phelps Lake, takes you through the stunning Death Canyon, and delivers breathtaking views as you near the divide itself.

The deep snow keeps me from doing so, but there are a few sneaky-great options like the hike up Glacier View along the Demers Ridge Trail in the Flathead National Forest. Glacier View is located along the North Fork Flathead River, on the western edge of Glacier National Park. The trailhead starts right near the junction with the North Fork Road and Camas Road. As we climbed higher, the North Fork Flathead River stretched out below us as it snaked along the North Fork area and through the mountains.
