Tenting To-night A Chronicle of Sport and Adventure in Glacier Park and the Cascade Mountains

Set against the soaring peaks of Glacier Park and the rugged Cascade range, the narrator—an urbanite accustomed to polite dinners and telephone cords—swaps the predictable rhythm of city life for a narrow, foot‑wide trail that winds through forests, snow‑capped ridges and swift mountain streams. The opening chapters paint the trail itself as a living character, equal parts beautiful and terrible, urging readers to feel the chill of avalanche debris and the sudden roar of a hidden river.

Through vivid sketches and crisp photographs, the story follows a series of day‑long excursions: a fisherman’s sunrise on Bowman Lake, a daring crossing of the Flathead rapids, and a climb over Cloudy Pass toward an isolated alpine meadow. Each episode blends practical details of camping, horse‑driving and fly‑fishing with moments of unexpected wildlife encounters, offering an intimate portrait of early 20th‑century wilderness adventure.
