Very nice video. Thanks for all the information on the Parks as well as the beautiful footage!
Gorgeous place! I'd love to hike there! Thanks for sharing
We loved it
beautifully filmed! Great video in an amazing place!
Love your videos!!!!!!
love love love your videos
We love you ❤️😀
Some fantastic hikes there. I can’t believe how clear Lake McDonald was.
I thought of Switzerland as well when you did the Highline Trail - it reminded me of the Eiger trail that skirts the north face of the Eiger.
Oh, and parking is a huge issue this year in the U.K. too - that’s the trouble when there’s limited place to go!
Great hike choices: I did your first two last week (Oct 17-18) Avalanche Lake and Saint Mary/Virginia Falls. At age 71.6, they were great! I was there with my son/daughter-in-law and their NINE children! They are all home schooled and loved it.
That's so cool! Glacier is such a lovely place 😀
Beautiful video. This is our family vacation location next year.
Best Video i've seen on the park so far, love it!
Really? Thank you so much! Are you going to Glacier NP?
@@Roamaroo Yes! I have watched so many and some are to much information and some not enough, this was just the right amount. Yes! We are, July of this year, six nights and seven days. Were very excited!!!!!
Nice video! I visited GNP in 2016 but only a few days and had bad weather. Despite that, parking was full everywhere and I couldn't get to the water falls. At least I got in a red bus tour.
The footage at about 9:36, with the pebbles on the bottom reflected through the clear water to the surface, is amazing. We had Glacier on our agenda last summer, but bailed due toCOVID related stuff. Hoping to make it there, all the way from Florida, late this summer. Great video.
Crazy how clear the water is.. right? 😲
Just got back from there last week. We hiked the Avalanche trail as well as The Highline. Such spectacular views.
So cool! It's such a beautiful place right? what's was your favorite?
Absolutely great video. Awesome shots and your content are also so inspirational and inspiring to get out there and explore the beauty of our mother earth. Thank you for sharing and happy exploring.
This is so sweet!!❤️👍 thank you for such a wonderful comment 😀😀
Bro, trust me. Shave it away and enjoy the extra bump in confidence! I extremely loved your work on this video, by the way.
awesome
Great video about an amazing national park. Thank you for uploading!
Glacier National Park is Worth Visiting! ... And glaciers are not all that the park has to offer: Alpine meadows, lakes, scenic drives, wildlife, and beautiful hikes make Glacier a favorite with all types of travelers.
The Highline trail is one of my favorite hikes I have ever done. The views are spectacular and non-stop. Glad you got to do this magnificent hike. IMV, The best way to do the Highline Trail hike is use the Going to the Sun Road shuttle. I know it wasn't running during COVID. But it is running in 2022. You can drive to the Logan Pass Parking lot early early early and then hike the Highline to the loop trail which takes you down to the Going to the Sun Road where you can catch the shuttle back to the parking lot. Cuts the hike into a more reasonable 11 mile hike as opposed to the 14.5 on the Highline.
Or you can leave your car at the West or East Entrances and take the shuttle from the West or the East Entrances to Logan Pass.
45 years ago my father dropped me and my younger brother off at Logan Pass and the two of us hiked the Highline Trail and then over the Swiftcurrent pass down the eastside to the Swiftcurrent Motor lodge where we met up with our Dad again. The Highline trail gets very busy so it's much better to do it in one direction.
That is what we wanted to do!! 😀😀. But as you pointed out the shuttles weren’t running.
Sounds like you’ve had some great hiking experiences
The other idea is to get a reservation at the “cabin” ( or chalet). My mom did that route. Hike in, spend the night, and hike out. Said it was fabulous! ❤️❤️👍
Hi good Thank ^^
Parking is awful, but an easy fix is getting there early..sadly, by 8am or earlier. It does take effort, but worth it to not waste time. Hopefully they build those extra parking spots! The trail is absolutely worth it and you can tag on an extra 2 miles if you do the garden wall. It makes the total elevation over 4K feet, but the views are amazing and you get the see one of the only glaciers in the contiguous US.
Thanks for the great tips!! ❤️❤️
Nice people because they are from California, lol. I've been all over the US, and to Cali several times. I put friendliness there towards the bottom.
15 years ago it wasn’t a problem getting a parking spot at any time of the day at Logan pass
What part of august was this? Working on nailing down a date now. Thanks for a great video!
It was the 2nd - 3rd week of Aug.. I hope this helps!
Love your sunglasses, where could I find them?
To the woman lol sorry I didn’t catch your name!!!
When is the best time(month) to visit if we want to see lots of snow and have a beautiful white snowy background on the mountains around us on hikes etc?
april - may would be a good time for that. Weather would be warming up but there would still be plenty of snow around 😀
Nice place to hike!
We share our Overlanding adventures in the Western part of US. Feel free to visit us!
I heard that you must have a reservation to go on the Going to the Sun road, but if you arrive early enough like 5AM you can drive up without a reservation. Is that true? What's the latest time you can drive up in the mornings without a reservation & still find a parking spot in the visitor center on top of the mountain? Also do you think the shuttles will be running this summer? If I can't drive up or can't find parking I would like to take a shuttle up instead so I can still enjoy the park.
Sorry @billy, I'm not sure on that one. Maybe the parks service website has some answers.
What type of hiking boots did you wear?
They're simple low cut Columbia hiking shoes.. amzn.to/3qE4lcl Whatever you do.. be sure to try out your hiking shoes before going on a big hike.
Were any roads closed within the park or just the east side entrance? And what month did you visit? Thanks!
We were there around August. Yes the east entrance was closed, and I believe still is.
What time of year were you there? Heading to Glacier in mid-September, hoping the crowds are light.
Mid September is a GREAT time to go. School is back in session but the weather is still warm.
We were there in late August.
Easily get there by 6:00AM or their is no way your getting parking weekends or weekdays.
What time of the year was this trip? Going in Beginning of April and wondering if the park will be open much
Unfortunately, most isn’t open until mid july!
The upper reaches of the Going to the Sun Road usually doesn’t open until late June at the earliest.
What month were you there?
Never mind. I see it was August...Thanks for the video
Does anyone know if Highline trail still opened in December?
If you want to snowshoe 20 miles. The sun road is closed at Mcdonald lake lodge from usually October to end of May for driving traffic.
It's not open in December. The ledge on that trail would be covered in multiple feet of snow and ice. The trail is open from mid July to maybe the end of September.
How many days did you spend? Did you camp in the park?
We were there 4 days. Unfortunately most of the camping was closed when we were there so we camped right outside the park.
When during the year was this trip?
This was in August. Are you planning a trip?
@@Roamaroo Yes! This weekend. I just see you wearing gear for the cold.
Thumbnail reads natioal not national....just a heads up...keep the the content coming
woops.. i'll get right on that.
water cold enough for ya crazy
How long were you there for?
We were there for 4 nights .
Hi did you cover all these places in one day?
😂 whoa! that's a lot to do in one day... no, we were there for 4 days.
Thank you so much 😍😍😍
what month is this? any rain? thank you
We went in August and fortunately we had no rain during the 3 to 4 days we were there😀
@@Roamaroo thank you!
I'm going to guess that Scott is a Libra and Collette is a Leo.
Where did you stay? In the park or outside?
Just outside the park at Lake Five Resort.. when we visited Glacier most of the camp sites were closed due to Covid.
Never any parking spots
Are these hikes appropriate for children?
All of them were easy and safe except for the highline trail. That had a few sketchy cliffs
Those ABS do not look painted on
Só you need a car to visit the park ???
Most likely. We would recommend it.
Actually no. You can catch the fare free Going to the Sun Road shuttle buses that go from the Apgar Visitor Center near the West entrance or the St Mary Visitor Center near the East entrance. You can easily park at either and then get off at Logan Pass to take the Highline trail.
It's actually very dangerous jumping into such cold water, if anyone considers themselves not a fit person I suggest never trying it.
Very true! I was SHOCKED how quickly the cold water affected me.
Be careful filming there since I know Kara and Nate got in trouble for filming in national parks.
you've got some work to do...
your video is devoid of any actual hikes. you took some strolls
i lived near and hiked Glacier for 35+ years (1982 - until august 2021) and logged well over 3000 trail miles, 100 mountain summits, and dozens upon dozens of overnight back country camping ventures.
and i didn't see everything
trail suggestions: dawson pitimakin loop, boulder/brown pass loop, swiftcurrent pass from many glacier, ptarmigan tunnel, two medicine pass, iceberg lake, triple divide pass, grinnell glacier, and the easiest day hike in the park - hidden lake (cross the stream and wander the shores)
better get going!!
I love this challenge! 😀
@@Roamaroo glad you're up to it!
I'm living at 8600ft in the Andes now.
Slowed down in my mid 60's, but not done exploring. Inca ruins, the Amazon, volcanoes, and the ocean only 3 hours away.
LOVE ECUADOR - the food, the people, the 'tranquilo'
@@jerrystraka7856 Sounds like we need to meet up some time! I bet you have some amazing stories to share 😀
@@Roamaroo i am a story teller. comes with age and being a former journalist (which is why i left the U.S. - death threats). Glacier Park is where my parents ashes are (far end of Avalanche lake, beneath the 3 -1000' waterfalls, looking out at Heaven's peak). until this year, it is where i spent mother's day since 2012. i miss the park, but not the throngs of people. the last 10 years have seen outrageous numbers of visitors, causing restrictions and conflict. i have a TH-cam video of descending the sun road on bike (before ebikes were allowed). enjoy the somewhat uncluttered FUN (it was crowded. saw 140 people in the 10 miles. in the 90's and 00's, usually saw only 50 -75)...th-cam.com/video/qevUEa7ELIs/w-d-xo.html
great video as usual, but man that song sucked!!
You are doing good... but when you tell 'it's beautiful', show what is beautiful. The title of the video says 'What to do in Glacier National Park', people would need to see that... not just words.. Show more of the surrounding then just inside your car...
Stay out of our beautiful montana! You kind of trendy people are turning our state into California.
Looks like these are the three hikes I'll be doing this summer! (At least!) Thanks for the great overview and beautiful views!
When are you going to Glacier?
What time of the year was this trip? Going in Beginning of April and wondering if the park will be open much
That will be dependent on snow. Check the .GOV websites to see what's open before you go 😀
We went in August.
