re: Glacier National Park Trip Itinerary - July 2027 Preplanning
Posted by idontyield on 10/1/26 at 8:52 pm to lsucm10
I would give a slight nod to Dawson plus you get to do the boat ride.
The spur trail off Highline is about a mile before you hit the chalet. The chalet has snacks they can buy and eat on the porch while they wait on you. It is 100% worth doing, even if it is just you. It is the steepest trail you will encounter on your trip by far.
Even starting early hiking you will warm up quickly. Shorts and a jacket/sweatshirt you can take off. You will have to carry it so plan accordingly. You will want pants and a jacket at night.
I have been up there about 5 times. Your itinerary is fine, dont let anyone talk you out of it. You have some easy short days built in for pulling into overlooks and stopping to play in the rivers and lakes. You are good,
We did Grinnell Galcier hike when my kids were little, like 5 and 6. It was the biggest hike they had done at the time. The park had record heat, it was 100 degrees. We ran out of water on the way back and were miserable by the end. The wife was beyond pissed at me. We all lived and it is a great story now.
The hikes there got my youngest into hiking, he just backpacked the Teton Crest with me this summer.

I will preface this with saying that we live in Colorado at 5800' so being at elevation doesn't bother us. I have done every hike you show and most of them with my kids. You will be fine. Your kids will be fine as long as they are somewhat active kids, they did 10 miles last summer so they can do this.
Dawson Pass is the only one on your list my kids didnt do. I did it with Pitamakan so came down what you will climb. Scenic Point is in that part of the park and pretty awesome also.
Highline has a spur trail to an overlook of Grinnell Glacier. It is about a mile each way and pretty damn steep, you should definitely do it and anyone who isnt feeling it can wait for you at the chalet. If you take the spur trail this hike gets much more strenuous.
My kids did all the other hikes you have when they were 5 and 6, they were fine.
You need to have dinner at the Belton Chalet one night.

But the inspection we paid for was absolutely criminal
Did a realtor line this up? The one thing i will 100% do if i ever buy another house is pay for an independent inspection. Usually, people rely on their realtor to line that up, how many times do you think that inspector will find enough stuff to kill the deal before the realtor finds someone else?

I have arthritis in my ac joint, would this help for that? I had a cortisone shot in it recently that helped a lot but I still get pain.
Would it heal it or would I be stuck taking this forever?

re: Monument Valley to Mesa Verde National Park
Posted by idontyield on 7/23/26 at 8:51 am to Donkus
I camped in the park when we went. I would try to stay in Mancos. I have a buddy that lives there and it is a nice little town. I think there is a couple hotels.
Durango to Mesa Verde is further than I want to drive and has a decent amount of traffic.
Cortez is a dump and so are all those southern Utah/northern Arizona towns. When I travel out that way I plan to not stop between Moab/Durango/Flagstaff unless I am camping.
August down there will be hot af during the middle of the day. Try to schedule the dwelling tours early or late. They are awesome and you should try to do all of them.

re: Idaho Falls...Dining Recommendations
Posted by idontyield on 7/7/26 at 11:47 am to madmaxvol
I was just in Idaho for a week and spent the 4th in Idaho Falls. The food in Idaho is what you would expect, very very meh.
We ate at Snow Eagle and the fries were good, the beer i had was awful, and the rest of the food was just meh.
Manwaring had good gelato.

Good luck.

The view from the overlook on the Fairy Falls trail is the best way to see Grand Prismatic in my opinion.
re: Reccs for dinners in Denver?
Posted by idontyield on 6/24/26 at 8:34 am to dirtsandwich
If sparing no expense and want to stay downtown, I would go to Elways.
When I am paying out of my own pocket, I go to Shanahan's but it is down south near where I live.
Capital Grille would fit the bill also.
For nonsteak, Rioja or Osteria Marco on Larimer are both great.
We used to go to Earl's a lot when I worked downtown. It is suitable for client dinners.
I am sure there are other places, but since i changed jobs to get out of Denver a couple years ago I only go in town for Nuggets and Avalanche games.

time should we arrive on Friday July 3rd to get a spot?
Before 8am or be prepared to wait. People come and go all day long.

And how long do you think a straight drive (very few stops/pullovers except traffic) will take from here to Jackson Wyoming?
Before 10am it will take 2ish hours. After 10am it could take 4ish hours.
None of these times apply if someone spots a bear near the road.

I used to work near where you are staying. That is a particular stabby area of the city, pay attention while walking around.
Walking distance from there is either Steubens (casual), Guard and Grace(high end), or Savina's which used to be called La Lloma (mexican). None are remarkable, nowhere here is. I have been here going on two decades and haven't found anywhere that I crave or highly recommend.
If you go to RINO, you should probably Uber. It is walkable but sketchy af down Broadway.

Yep, this is the way. Polebridge is unremarkable and not worth the drive up to it. Bowman Lake is magnificent. Stop at Home Ranch Bottoms on the road to Polebridge for a drink and food.

Belton Chalet in West Glacier is outstanding for dinner.

I am in the same boat as the OP. My carrier requires a physical sim so I switched from an iphone 13 to the s26 so i could get a phone with a new battery.
I also have apps that just lock up and won't open sometimes, mainly garmin and my garage door app.
The camera on the S26 is light years ahead of my old one.

re: Fat loss/waist size at 44
Posted by idontyield on 6/9/26 at 9:24 am to ForTheWin81
So much to unpack in one thread.
Low T old man asking for weight loss drug advice, the blurry mirror flex pic for no reason, and the 4% body fat comment for also no reason.
Then we move on to threatening to fight people on the internet, to two men enter one-man leaves, and finally to being willing to die.
JFC, this is incredible.

This is the golden age for bikers, at least for mountain bikers.
Derailleurs just work, no more fiddling around with tension screws or even hangers now.
Brakes are more powerful than ever and easy to bleed.
Carbon everything! Carbon wheels dont break all the time now, dont feel like riding rocks and actually stay true for a long time. Carbon cranks and bars are hard to break now also.
Everyone makes a good bike now. I can't tell you the last time I rode a bike that felt off.
Suspension doesnt wallow around on you.
