Mountain Climlllng :Mountain climbing is fl heulthful hut more strenuous form

of sporl tlWIl eithcl' horseback rilling or "Hiking." It has not as yet reached the degree of popularity in this country lhat il has in Switzcrland, but the opporlunity is here. In Gladet· Park especially eonditjons lire· j(leal fol' indulging jn this form of rec l'cation

There are many peaks that are comparatively casy of ascent; others quite difficult and some that so far hll\'e defied the most h.1.nly and expert climbers. New cl!mbing clubs

Camping Out GladeI' Pm'k has hundreds of flplcntlid Rheams as well as kes and probubly- no NatiOlll-ll Park in the world offers ore or bettcr opportunities to those \VI1O like the more prim

iOve method of "ge~ting close to nature," which a tent, a blanket., nnd fty pan offers. Along t.he bank of wlli<:king streams or in a sheltered spot on all cndmnled lake one can take the life as hard or us )cisurely as one desires

In <.'a§e the camping trip is s1Ich that the camp is to b mo ved from place to place frequf'ntly, ptlck horses ure re­quircd to transport it as well as the supplies a.nd sadri\{' hors(~s for the people, This form of ouling is, for onc or two people, quite cxpensive but wlwn there are six or eigh t

to divide the expense ltd.wecn will cost only about $I~.OO to .$15.QO pel' duy per person.

This form of outing appeols to many because it practico.IIy (;()H1hilH~s all the other forms of recreation. Arrangements must be made well in ad\'ance for camping trips

The fly casting rod and lHlificial ny is the method generally used. No license is necessary within the Park. '1'1 limit is ]0 fish per day, no fish under seven inches to be taken The luke fishing is usua lly better than the stJ'eam fishing, as the strealTls evidently drop too rapidly down the mountain slopes and do not form enough deep pools. Casting from shore or from a boat is the best. metbod.

If fishing in waters out!-1ide the Park a State fishing license is reqllil'ed hy law. This COIl he procured on application at Glacier 1'lll·k Stati01r.

July and August are tlte mont.hs when the trout rise to the fly the most freely. A grasshopper or small spinner is some times used to auvantage.

TheRe trout arc not "easy" to get. They are very shy. They strike quiek and fight ha.rd, but patience, perseverance, some skill and a little Im'k will rewa.rd the fisherma.n with IJS good a string 8.S one could ask, and the hotels will gladly cook them to YOUl" Ol·dcr.
