734 miles in one year by Jake

A man has hiked every trail in Glacier Park in a single year.  734 miles of trails.  Jake is the first known person to have done this.  He hiked the final miles Saturday, October 15.

Jake is a very nice guy.  I had hiked with him once this year, when we hiked to Medicine - Grizzly Lake on July 19. 

 
I planned on hiking with Jake to Dutch Lake earlier this month but I canceled the morning of his hike when it was raining. Hiking 20 or so miles in the rain on a cool day didn't appeal to me.  But Jake went ahead and hiked to the lake.
