When we were up there they had not had any snow . The 1st night there we got 4ft. It was great sitting in a hot tub outside our cabin while it was snowing. All though it was very cold when Cathy and I got out her hair was frozen. Our husbands thought we were crazy. Both my husband and Cathy have passed. Those were good memories. Thank you for the trip to West Glacier. I heard the water fall it was wonderful.
THE BEST You-Tube channel EVER! Thank you Russ for taking us along for the ride! Enjoyed every minute of it! Safe travels my friend... Enjoy your well deserved time off. Anticipating your next videos! Cheers from Texas!
Hi Russ, my wife and I started watching your channel a couple months ago, just before you went to Oklahoma. We really appreciate all the work you put in sharing your travels. We'll be sure to hit your amazon links next time we buy something. Thanks again.
It's so very nice that you're doing all of the driving for us so we can sit back and enjoy the scenery instead of having to watch the road and traffic. THANK YOU!
Yo Russ , Grand Video , Grand Views. Thank you for your 2020 Journey through U.S.A. - From Arizona - New Mexico - Texas - Oklahoma - Utah - Colorado - Wyoming - Nebraska - South Dakota - Wyoming - Montana. God Bless U.S.A . Russ , RVerTV Fans - We Love RVerTV.
Having grown up in the NW Montana area...Its hard to convinve me that there is something more beautiful anywhere. The mountain creeks ...you can drink straight from them and fishing everywhere. Not even gonna bring up how great the hunting is there :) It was nice to ride along and see stuff I hadnt seen in maybe close to 30 yrs.
The waterfalll was pretty and you didn’t mention that pretty yellow flower on the path to the Falls! The Flathead River was pretty too! The pine forest was pretty too! Thank you for the drone scenery!❤️😀🇺🇸
I’ve hopped freight trains on the high line and shot video along there! Love Montana, hard to beat it. West of Whitefish along the Kootenai is beautiful too.
Just found your channel and I am so glad I did. Watched three of your videos back to back and it felt great. Thank you so much for taking us with you on your awesome adventures. Being stuck at home is miserable and your videos allows me to get a bit of "fresh air". Love the drone shots.
My husband and I just found your channel and started our virtual vacation at Wolf Creek. Thanks so much for your great video and commentary. It’s great fun to watch you in almost real time. Love your van and drone.
Good Morning Russ, Wow that's such a neat place. Hey don't be in a big hurry to get back to AZ. News just said this is going to be the hottest Labor Day Holiday ever, setting record temps every day. You are the way we are staying cool! Hee hee... I, for one, hope you get some snow video before you start heading home! Alrighty Then...See You Soon!
The railroad bridge over the highway is Java on the railroad. Shortly thereafter you passed Sheep's Creek trestle on your left. A natural mineral salt deposit is under the RR bridge, mountain sheep and other wildlife gather for a treat. Many senic railroad postcard opportunities abound in the Marias Pass (content not given), please bunk in the Izaak Walton Inn at night.
Big Wave Russ.....that hwy 2 one of the most beautiful rides that you ever will see in the Rockies, but that Valley is narrow and lots of switch backs later on down the road, but ever so so beautiful.....I still think Montana is hard to beat for beauty Russ, and boy Canada is hard to beat, as we have some beauty land here too, but I have to say, what a ride you are on....Thank you so much Russ for your ongoing share of this gorgeous virtual holiday for us all to share. We are watching and just enjoying so much...Carolyn and Colin Hogarth Osoyoos BC Canada....Big Wave from us...Take care and keep on trucking...Nice!
“Silver Stairs”..the waterfall, it is gorgeous in the spring, with the run off. Then freezes into ‘silver stairs’ in the winter ❄️ The Rafters peacefully floating down the Flathead, in the late spring/early summer, that’s a white knuckle white rapid ride 😆
My wife and I traveled hwy 2 many times and we always stopped at that waterfall. It is simply beautiful during spring run off! It is also amazing when it is frozen.
Russ you are the best. I’m so glad I saw your van a few years back in 29 palms. You are a gem with the comments and your quirky laugh. It’s like sitting next to you on the ride. I’d like to buy you a nice meal at the boathouse in Meadview when you get back.
Great views. I have never driven that section of US-2. I always drove through the park. The traffic used to be a lot faster. 20 years ago there was no speed limit on highway 2.
Love this drive! See you're wearing a jacket with your shorts! Don't be in too big of a hurry to head south! I hear it's 115 degrees in the shade in Quartsite! LOL Travel safe!
Wow the color of the river was beautiful!! 🤗 What a relaxing and surprising ride. The waterfall was awesome and we could hear it. I'm with you... stay away from Covid County. Can't wait to see what direction you are planning. Take care. 💞
Russ the views on this video were outstanding! I loved that waterfall! Thank you for taking the time to go up to film it! Safe travels. We love your videos!
I used to drive between Seattle and Milwaukee 6 years ago and the journey was taking either I-90 and Hwy 2. Too many scenic drives in Montana's rural area and so is North Dakota's
Once again, Beautiful, the train seemed never-ending but the waterfall was brilliant, I enjoy the aerial views with your drone, Thank you for letting me tag along. 😊
Beautiful scenery Russ! I totally get it why you didn't want to deal with Glacier National Park. It would have been a zoo. Forget it. Safe travels Man! Looking forward to your next video.
I have this in my list of stops. Called staircase waterfall. I am going first week of June and should be a lot of snow melt going on which will make waterfall look even more spectacular
Hey Russ, you drove right by my house. Live in Kalispell. It has been hot up here this summer though. See you in Quartzite this fall and winter. Take care. Wish I'd run into you around town, lol.
Soooo glad I did my big US 'vacation' last year - First time I'd ever been to Glacier NP and it was epic. The Going to the Sun Road frightened my wife so much she wouldn't do it more than once as we moved from East Glacier to West Glacier but I loved every Km of it. Visited Az too last year - no where near as hot as this year I gather which is just as well as us Brits rarely see 30C and generally never more than 34C!
Hi Russ. Great video as always! I noticed that you were driving along the Flathead River. As you start to head south, consider going by Flathead Lake (which the river flows into). Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. The scenery is beautiful! After taking my family through Glacier National Park about 12 years ago, we drove south along the western side of Flathead Lake. We loved it!
Russ, You've been following the Rocky Mountains from south west to north west. Great name for this venture would be Rocky Mountain High.... and getting higher, love, love, love these Mountains. Glad you're loving them too. Mt Kids
Nice trip. Never made it to MT but plan to one day. A couple of years ago I drove to Southern Utah and explored some of the National Parks there and spent a few days in Colorado. A very enjoyable trip. Once this pandemic is under control I want to take a trip through MT and the Pacific NW. Plan to devote a month for the journey as I'm from MS. Keep the videos coming as this is a great way to get some ideas of places to visit.
Hello Russ! I just discovered this video & really enjoyed your efforts. In 2009 I visited Glacier NP & loved it. I stayed in East Glacier at a motel with a couple of restaurants & a bakery across the street (Yea - Huckleberry pie!). I especially liked the Two Medicine Lakes area which had great hiking and vistas. I believe that lake you showed near East Glacier was Lower Medicine Lake. I appreciate your photography and commentary. Consider me a fan. Bob Ross from Easton Pa.
Keep an eye on the sky. Early winter storm is expected for your area starting Labor Day afternoon. Up to 2" per hour snowfall expected. Take care, run south.
Hey Russ, been enjoying your tour. You are very close to The National Bison Range and you might enjoy it. I went thru last year around Labor Day and saw lots of animals including Bear, Elk, Deer, Antelope and lots of Buffalo. Might be worth seeing, you can contact them to see if you want to drive thru it in the van. I'd suggest an late afternoon/evening as that's when the animals come out.
some points in wa state steptoe butte state park , channel scabelands,frenchman coulee(exit 149 wb 5 miles),rye grass rest stop, Yakima canyon road 821,chinook pass 410,mt rainier sunrise off of 410 -11 mile drive, go back to 123 packwood wa to randel wa take left to mt Helen's windy ridge
17:22, you mentioned snow. Up on the mountainside there is a "snowshed" over the tracks. There are lots of them in this area. Designed to keep avalanches away from the rails
Visitation to Glacier National Park is down 48.4 % so far in 2020. If EVER...if EVER you were to go to Glacier in the summer, THIS is the year !!! I don't understand how you can be so close to one of the most spectacular parks that we have and not visit it. Beautiful drive though. Stay safe :)
Hey, Russ. Just realized that the rail line you're shadowing is the old Great Northern Railway. Today, Amtrak provides passenger service along the route via the "Empire Builder": must be one heck of a view from those trains. Enjoy the holiday weekend, get some relaxation.
Those Mountains look very healthy compared to Yellowstone. Thanks Russ, great video as always.
When we were up there they had not had any snow . The 1st night there we got 4ft. It was great sitting in a hot tub outside our cabin while it was snowing.

I'm laid up right now. Your videos have been a big time gift for me. I appreciate you and them.
I was there last week all the way up to Sun road, enjoyed my vacation.. stayed in east Glacier NP beautiful.

Sem fumaça, lindas paisagens, cores reais. A jornada continua = No fog, beautiful landscapes, true colours. The journey continues !

The railroad building was at Summit......... the Connential Divide.
I’ve hopped freight trains on the high line and shot video along there! Love Montana, hard to beat it. West of Whitefish along the Kootenai is beautiful too.
That waterfall 8:20 is probably a sight to see in the springtime!
Glad to see you avoiding the crowds. We want you to stay healthy. I am really enjoying this summer video series. Thanks

You most definitely have to drive around part of Flathead lake....its so beautiful...I love the town of Polson...
Ann Stearns I live in Polson. It is an awesome place to live.
@1:34 Lewis and Clark National Forest...sign. Cool!
Hey Russ!!! Beautiful "BLUE SKY"!!! Nice drive!!! Be Safe!!!
Nice drive Russ. You need to take a fishing pole with you and test the water for use.
God Jehovah's amazing creation! Visited west Glacier Park back in 2014 & absolutely my favorite place to see! Stunning!
Good Morning Russ, Wow that's such a neat place. Hey don't be in a big hurry to get back to AZ. News just said this is going to be the hottest Labor Day Holiday ever, setting record temps every day.

The drone footage of the mountains and train is stunning

I drove this the same summer 2020 in the opposite direction clear across Montana..... 686 miles... then all the way across Minnesota
Another beautiful drive! Was so good to see all of the beautiful “live” pines rather than the dead ones in Yellowstone. ❤️ Thanks!
Thanks russ. That was awsome. Thank you for sharing. Love the drone pics

I was on that route in September 2021 and there are a few riverside camp sites right off the road. I stayed at one and fly fished for a day.

Beautiful. Simply God's country for real.
Hey Russ,weather forecast for western Montana,up to 6” of snow and much cooler ,FYI. Great videos 👍🏻
My wife and I traveled hwy 2 many times and we always stopped at that waterfall. It is simply beautiful during spring run off! It is also amazing when it is frozen.
Russ you are the best. I’m so glad I saw your van a few years back in 29 palms. You are a gem with the comments and your quirky laugh. It’s like sitting next to you on the ride. I’d like to buy you a nice meal at the boathouse in Meadview when you get back.
Russ, you skipped Essex. Much to see there. Historic railroad hotel and more. Really worth a look. Enjoy your channel!
Hi Russ ! Nice road trip on HWY 2 .. Keep em coming.. Shotgun !! Stay happy and safe.. Talk soon..
Thanks Russ. Beautiful country.
Great views. I have never driven that section of US-2. I always drove through the park. The traffic used to be a lot faster. 20 years ago there was no speed limit on highway 2.
Beautiful scenery 👌 thanks for the hard work. 😊😊
Yeah!! Glad you didn't go by all those people!! Love the fresh air, must smell so good with all the pine trees!! Stay Safe!!
Love this drive! See you're wearing a jacket with your shorts! Don't be in too big of a hurry to head south! I hear it's 115 degrees in the shade in Quartsite! LOL Travel safe!
Nice place to look for nuggets
Wow the color of the river was beautiful!! 🤗 What a relaxing and surprising ride. The waterfall was awesome and we could hear it. I'm with you... stay away from Covid County. Can't wait to see what direction you are planning.
Take care. 💞
Russ the views on this video were outstanding! I loved that waterfall! Thank you for taking the time to go up to film it! Safe travels. We love your videos!
More great scenery in Montana. Being here in the UK we don't hear much about that State, so thank you Russ, enjoy your couple of days off ;-)
I used to drive between Seattle and Milwaukee 6 years ago and the journey was taking either I-90 and Hwy 2. Too many scenic drives in Montana's rural area and so is North Dakota's
Hope you are getting as much enjoyment from your trip as you are giving us.
Thanks Russ, Your videos are needed right now. They are a good escape.
Enjoy the drive today Russ. Lotta cool videos. Enjoy your journey. but most of all be safe.👍☕️🍀
thanks
Vegas is full of smoke and Montana and Wyoming get snow today. Hope you miss them both. Happy trails!
Once again, Beautiful, the train seemed never-ending but the waterfall was brilliant, I enjoy the aerial views with your drone, Thank you for letting me tag along. 😊
This was really nice.
Beautiful scenery Russ!
I totally get it why you didn't want to deal with Glacier National Park. It would have been a zoo. Forget it.
Safe travels Man! Looking forward to your next video.
I have this in my list of stops. Called staircase waterfall. I am going first week of June and should be a lot of snow melt going on which will make waterfall look even more spectacular
Hey Russ, you drove right by my house. Live in Kalispell. It has been hot up here this summer though. See you in Quartzite this fall and winter. Take care. Wish I'd run into you around town, lol.
Look out for that Barr. 🐻

Hey Russ, we are in Custer Montana. We are heading to North Dakota. We enjoy following you. We will head to Glacier next year.
You should drive from kalispell to polson by flathead lake. It is beautiful!
Thanks for another great drive. Enjoy your down time.
Thank you,your a great tour guide
Maybe check out Polebridge while you are in the area?
The road to polebridge is not good.
Nice ride. I enjoyed it. Thanks! Be Safe!

That bridge you walked up to, if you take that road under the bridge is is some dispersed camp sites there.
Russ, You've been following the Rocky Mountains from south west to north west. Great name for this venture would be Rocky Mountain High.... and getting higher, love, love, love these Mountains. Glad you're loving them too. Mt Kids
Fantastic drone footage, really makes a difference.
Some way out gorgeous mountain drive!
And where the Snake meets the Flathead is a cool spot
Nice trip. Never made it to MT but plan to one day. A couple of years ago I drove to Southern Utah and explored some of the National Parks there and spent a few days in Colorado.

WOW!!! Safe travels. 111 degrees in Arizona today. Love Kalispell.
Thoroughly enjoying viewing your travels while working abroad in Abu Dhabi, UAE...!!
THANKS
Bet that hiker has Tom Sawyer (Rush) on his earbuds! Wonder if Canada's side is open or closed?
A nice place to have stopped would have been at the Isaac Walton Inn at Essex. Stay overnight in a caboose.
Nice! Thanks Russ! Hope you have a fun and relaxing break, see you in a few days.
Russ, love the views, hoping soon to get out there
love the drone shots.
Another awesome video! The drone shots are icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing! Safe travels!
Nice route. Thanks for taking us along. Safe travels.
I'm now planning a trip to glacier, entering west gate. I was looking at hwy 2 for my exit and return to CA.

Never there in the summer, always in the winter with snow. Fly into Spokane and drive to Browning but stay in Essex at the Izaak Walton Inn.
nice drive!
russ watch the weather coming in next week calls for snow in some higher parts
RVer Russ,keep on truck'n,welCOME,!!!????!!!
Big snow storm coming to Rocky Mountains.

Thanks for a great video. I have been following your path on google maps. Excellent choice of roads as I am saving places to go to. Thanks Russ.
Gorgeous drone view 💕

Do you know if la Pisa south will be open in Quartzsite this year.
Hey Russ, suggestion for majestic mountain scenery...Hwy 20 , Omak, WA to Burlington, WA.
