When hiking the Grinnell Glacier Trail, a hiker will pass by crystal clear mountain lakes, towering mountains and will have the unique opportunity to stand on a glacier if one chooses. The trail runs for 6 miles and has a vertical gain of 1600 feet. The first two miles of the trail are essentially flat. Beyond that, the trail has a gradual incline up to its end. The trail ends at Upper Grinnell Lake and Grinnell Glacier at the base of the continental divide.

Tribute to Abbrescia's Life at Hockaday Museum
The Hockaday Museum offers the show "Abbrescia's Passion - Plein Aire Paintings of Glacier National Park" showcasing the work of artist, Joe Abbrescia, including some paintings that have not previously been exhibited, from June 8 through Sept 11, 2007.
A catered opening reception will be held June 14th from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Artist Mark Ogle will present a tribute to the life and work of Joe Abbrescia at 4:30 p.m. Cellist Lee Zimmerman will perform throughout the evening. The June 14th reception is free to museum members and $10.00 for non-members.
The Abbrescia show is an important one to the Hockaday because the museum's signature focus is the art of Glacier Park and Montana's artistic legacy; and because the work of Abbrescia (1936 - 2005) is rated among international standards for excellence and innovation in color, harmony and design.

Distinctly Montana Magazine, Abbrescia Article, page 34
"Distinctly Montana" magazine published an article in the Spring 2007 edition entitled "To Catch the Majesty - The Art of Joe Abbrescia". The article runs from pages 34 through 43 and is available on newstands now or by subscription online.
The author, Rennan Ricke, interviewed Sue and Joe Jr., last winter for publication in the Spring edition of the magazine.
For all his former students, I'll share an excerpt from the article:
Joe had an individualistic philosophy on art. He understood that style was intensely personal, and he disliked the idea that a student might imitate his style. "You're in control of your own understanding. Put some trust in there," he said to a group of developing students, urging them to take from his teachings what they wanted and mix it into their own style. He tried to guide students, to point them in the right direction instead of teaching them a collection of rules. In fact, in his classes he seemed to consider himself the leading student in a teacherless group. ...He advised students to get rid of their intellectual side when painting, to feel it instead of think it. To Joe, painting was not a series of discrete steps where canvas is sized, followed by laying down the major shapes and finally adding nuance at the end. Painting was a great continuum, where the steps blended and swirled like the oil on the canvas...
