![ความรักไม่ได้น่ากลัวขนาดนั้น (TRUST ME) - LYKN [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9np-lAtCRpQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Been here twice: 1974 with the parents by car, and with my older daughter in 2005 (again by car). Had a 1973 Norton 750 S bike but didn't want to do 1974 by myself. (in hindsight, what a stupid decision not to!). I've been thru the Alps, Canadian Rockies and Colorado Rockies, but I don't think I've ever seen more concentrated mountain beauty than I have driving the Going-to-the-Sun road: to say it's majestic is a gross understatement! I especially value my memories of the awe on my daughter's face when she saw this for the first time. if you ever get the chance to visit, it will be worth the time and effort to get there!!! The entire park is amazing, but this drive transcends even that; also, visit Waterton Lakes NP on the Canadian side; it's a stunning place in it's own right, and just adjacent to the north.
Glacier and Waterton Parks are very beautiful. When I visit the parks I feel blessed and lucky to be alive. I introduced my oldest daughter to Glacier on a camping trip in the car and we continued north through Banff and on up to the Iceland Parkway near Jasper. The mountains continue getting bigger and bigger and more majestic up in Canada. I met a fellow traveling motorcyclist near Calgary a few years ago who had ridden all the way to Alaska and was returning home to West Virginia. He said after riding nearly the entire length of the rocky mountains he was looking forward to seeing the great planes and doing some straight lines. He'd had enough of mountains and wanted to shoot on home. The rolling grass lands east of Glacier are beautiful too.
Your videos are excellent, thank you for showing us the beautiful roads of America!
Glad you like them! Thank you very much.
A gem of a channel!
Thanks a bunch.
Great scenery, Thank's! !!!! 😀👌😀👍
Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hello Wheel Stories, impressive picture, wonderful landscapes interpreted great, thank you for sharing them with us! greetings from Bavaria
Many thanks.
Stunning views and scenery. That road reminded me of the opening scenes from Kubrick's "The Shining".
I can't wait to return. Glacier Park and the Road to the Sun is an awesome ride. Thanks for watching.
Wonderful - thank you 😎
Many thanks!
Fantastic video sir ..... this has been on my bucket list for years .... this video bumped it closer then later ... thanks
That is terrific. Glacier National Park is wonderful. On a motorcycle, in a car, hiking, canoeing... Doesn't matter how you get there and make your way through the park. It's all good.
Well done, as are all of your videos. Thanks for documenting things so well.
Thanks for watching my channel, Tom, and leaving some positive feedback in the comment section. I've been trying to find time to cut together some new videos. I hope to have several new pieces posted to Wheel Stories soon.
Wonderful! I gotta see this place upfront before I die.
Thank you, I enjoyed very much, great info.
Excellent video! well done with great production quality.
What a great way to travel that road!
What can I say? this planet of our's has some spectacular landscape, doubt If I will ever be fortunate enough to be able to visit this National Park thanks for sharing look forward to the next one,awesome.
JohnG1100, yes, Glacier is certainly a special place. I am lucky to live within riding distance of the park. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video thanks for sharing
very good footage + edition. Was there in 2008, and will be back in 2021!
Have a wonderful trip.
Wow, so nice views, tks to share all this with us. Help me to feel beter, i can almost breath the mountain air. Help me to forget about all this Corona Virus stuff...and reconnect to the earth. Tks again. I just start my first riding week of my life on my black BMW r1150r. As you said, Yessss! riding it's a rush👍🏼😊
Difficult not to worry about the virus right now. Motorcycles put my mind in a good place. Ride safe and thanks for watching.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I am hoping to get there this summer
Glad to hear. If you are going in early summer, be sure to check the Glacier Park website for snow conditions and progress on plowing near the summit. The website features some good information on the park. You will find pictures of the plowing crews working to clear a path for visitors. Have a wonderful trip.
Great video of our backyard playground. So glad you came to visit :)
You have a wonderful backyard playground. Lots to see and do. I will never tire of visiting Montana.
wow awsum place
Certainly is. Thanks for watching.
Great scenery! My husband and I were just there, the weather was not always sunny, but the views were spectacular. I love how your video shows everything!

Just Subbed
Boots and Jeans. Welcome to the channel. Enjoy your trip in August and be sure to ride safe. Thanks for posting the positive comment.
I did this ride 3 years ago. Your video was done well. Seeing it makes me want to go again. Mid week is less traffic. Think I'll try hiking next time. Thank you for this wonderful video.
The hiking trails provide some excellent views of the park. I want to explore some of the more remote areas of the park by trail down the road. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.
I have also Black R1150R and want to say well done on the you tube video and thanks for taking us along on your road trip, wish I could take some of these road trip but , just too busy, I guess that why I appreciate your your channel so much.
Finding time for the rides and editing videos is a big challenge. Wish I could do more. So I grab the opportunities when I can. Thanks for watching, John, and leaving the comment. Enjoy the R1150R. The black ones are the fastest in the BMW bunch.
Wow amazing view❤️
Wow! Great vlog.. it feels like i’ve been there already.👍🏼
Glad you liked the motorcycle travel vlog. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for posting this great video , was there earlier this year in July it was a great experience loved every minute . wonderful scenery would like to do it again in the future will be over again next year from the UK so you never know ..
Thanks for watching and posting the comment Sylvia. Glad to hear you enjoyed your visit to Glacier. The park is always whispering in my ear to come back for another adventure. Glacier National Park is certainly a treasure.
Thanks for posting your ride of Glacier National Park and Going to the Sun Road. Looks a bit on the hairy side, no room for mistakes. My plan is to ride through the park in September. Thanks for the tips on where to eat and stay.
Have a good time at Glacier. The park is amazing. I will be posting another video soon that features another outstanding US national park. Check back. Thanks for watching.
I just wanted to let you know that I just recently subscribed to your website. I have to say I am so impressed with your videos and narrative. I was born in the Pacific northwest in Washington. Your photos take me home and your narrative says what I feel. Thank you. Good work.
Thanks for the positive feedback on my channel. I'm pleased to hear that my videos are appreciated and enjoyed by viewers. I love the Pacific Northwest. So much to see and do in the region.
What a beautifully filmed video! I felt like I was riding that BMW with you!
Thanks for checking out my video. Glad you enjoyed my TH-cam ride through Glacier.
Awesome !
Arizona Rider, thanks for checking out my channel and joining as a subscriber. I have unedited video on my computer and plan to post a few more rides soon before the snow melts here in Idaho. When spring arrives I will be back on the bike with my cameras recording.
Beautiful place
Thank you for sharing for us .
God bless.
Certainly. Thanks for watching.
You’re welcome .
I love this place lol.
My next year trip I want to go this place too
Magnificent indeed! Wish I was there!
Dee D. Me too. I always look forward to return visits to Glacier Park. Thanks for watching. Add Glacier to your bucket list.
Wheel Stories.. I will enjoy through your videos..unfortunately, my riding friends don't explore and I prefer not to ride solo :)
Amazing video.
3:00 stunning views. You'll never forget.
Nice video of going to the sun road we have been there and it is beautiful great job on making this
Thanks for the feedback. Glacier Park is one of my favorite places on the planet.
Breathtaking. Thanks for sharing this epic ride with us. Anxious to cover this on the bike sooner than later. Traveled the pass as a teenager on a family vacation, and had a chance to visit GNP again a month or so ago. Going to the Sun was closed still due to complications they were having with snow removal. I’m really looking forward to the east side of the park that seems a bit more quiet then take that ride north, which you shared. Can’t wait for your next video!
Thanks for watching De Ba and glad you are planning another visit to the park. I try to see Glacier about every other year. Waterton Park just across the border in Canada is worth visiting as well.
I’ll put that on the Must-See list. I sure appreciate your video & commentary. I find your feedback very informative and note worthy!
Thanks for posting this. We are headed to Glacier first week of August. I was worried what the view would be if there was tons of smoke. I feel like it will still be beautiful from your video. Thanks again!
Have fun! Thanks for watching.
Excellent video
Thanks for the visit. The trip to Glacier was an amazing ride.
Thank a lot for sharing this awesome ride ! What peaceful and beautiful landscapes ! A very great and pleasant ride ! My mind escaped for a few moments while watching this video . Greetings from Montpellier southern France ✌!
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for watching.
Amazing scenery! Great job filming and narrating!👍
Glad you watched and enjoyed the video, Alberto. Thanks for the compliment as well. The Glacier video was fun to produce.
Very nice video and we're planning a trip "Canadian Rocky Mountains" to Sun Road and back to Vancouver...
Sounds great! The Rocky Mountains are beautiful on both sides of the border. Enjoy your trip.
Great video, had to chuckle at the 1:46 mark!
Without checking, I'm guessing the guy falls in the water at 1:46. Slippery rocks next to the river. Thanks for watching.
nice !
Nicely done
Thanks Gordin.
Great video! Really well done; you know your Glacier National Park! I'm considering an early October ride from Missoula to Glacier but am hesitant due to weather! Maybe I'll make a video! Thanks for the inspiration!
I've never been to Glacier in October so I'm not sure what to expect in terms of weather. Early October may be fine. Crowds will be smaller which is great. Have a good time if you go. Thanks for watching.
You have a great voice for narration
Thanks. Just wish it was easier coming up with the words. Thanks for watching.
1:47 nice footage
A beautiful location you live in. Sorry about the fires though. We too are having our share of fires in So. Calif. but what else is new? I’ve thought about relocating to the Nampa area after I retire and after watching many of your vids, I really want to. Thanks for posting and happy riding.
Fires are common in Idaho but this past summer the smoke was intense all the way up into Canada. Lots of people migrating to Idaho. A recent news story reported that Idaho is the fastest growing state in the U.S. I think our population increased by 2.2% this past year. Still lots of room. Thanks for watching.
this is not only the beautiful place but the presentation shown by filming is very different, here in my country i want to film the same way as our northern areas as you shown in ur blog. keep up the good work.
regards
Kifayat
Kifayat, thanks for watching and complimenting the video. Glacier National Park is grand and beautiful, for sure. Best of luck on your rides and capturing some footage to share on TH-cam.
Looks beautiful but scary
I've ridden this several times in both directions
It is a fantastic road to enjoy on a motorcycle. Can't wait to make another visit to the park. The Beartooth Highway between Cooke City, WY and Red Lodge, MT is another wonderful road not too far away. I love them both. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing! Thinking on riding there the first week of june, but don't know how's the weather going to be there around that time.
Lower elevations should be fine. However, the pass may still be closed on the Going to the Sun Road. There is a web location that provides updates on the snow plowing on the road. Google Going to the Sun Road Snow Plowing. The plows normally have the road cleared around mid June. Not sure what the story is this year. Otherwise, June is nice in Montana. Thanks for watching and posting the comment.
Wheel Stories thank you so much for the info! Ride safe!
Sure thing. You too.
Nice video ....buddy carry on
Thank you, Sangram, for watching the Glacier trip video and leaving the comment. Be sure to check back from time to time. I try to produce a new video every 4-5 weeks.
Wheel Stories I always see your all the video and when I am see your videos I really happy a lot ...and I am SUBSCRIBE your channel when you upload your first video... I never miss your videos god bless you always
That's great! Thanks.
Been trying to ride this road three different times 2014 snowed 2016 snowed 2018 snowed now in SD headed back to Alabama may try again 2019
Another great video...I've been the Glacier 3x and was hoping to visit Many Glacier this summer for the first time but my plans have changed since no campsites left in the area:( Instead I'll be going over Lolo Pass then North to Priest Lake (first time)....Where did you camp or stay in/near Glacier?
There are KOA campgrounds outside of the park on both the east and west side. I like the east side best. It's not far from Many Glacier. Have a good time at Priest Lake. It is a beautiful lake. Thanks for watching.
Another fabulous video. Wondering the brand and model jacket you're wearing - so practical and essential.
That is an Olympia jacket. Not sure what model. I own several Olympia jackets. It's a good brand.
@@WheelStories Thank you sir.
You bet.
Great video. I'll be out that way for the BMWMOA Rally in June and plan on riding that road.. . Couple of questions: What time of the year did you do your ride? Looks like late summer. What day of the week and what time of day? Did you travel East to West or West to East?. Thanks for posting. Joe
I believe that trip to Glacier was in late August or Early September on a Friday or Saturday around mid day. I've done both directions. I prefer the west to east direction. However, east to west is excellent as well, particularly as you climb to the summit. Enjoy the trip in June. Thanks for watching and posting the comment.
I tried to get to glacier as of now October 10th 2019, and unfortunately is too late.
It’s too cold and frigid weather, it was like a dream to get over there, rode all the way from NYC and got stucked in Wyoming because of the cold.
When would you think it would be the best time to visit it? In a motorcycle of course
Great documentary and information,
Cold weather is arriving early this year in the Wyoming-Montana region. Your best chances of avoiding bad weather in Glacier Park are in July, August and September. June is nice however the Going to the Sun Road may be closed near the top due to snowpack. Sorry to hear you were unable to reach the park this year. Thanks for watching the video and posting the comment.
recent years glacier is always covered with the haze/smoke from the forest fire from canada or oregon even california, otherwise it would be more spectacular.
Hi good day sir im from Philippines im always watching your videos and its great, wanna know what camera do you used is it gopro hero 7 or phone camera? Ride safe always sir
I had been using an SJCAM4000 but now I use the GoPro Hero 7 Black for the riding shots in my videos. The GoPro anti-vibration feature works well. Thanks for watching and posting the comment.
Hello I am your new subscriber. tell me we are scheduled to be there around 5 June, I know it’s closed from Logan Pass until late June. can we do at least some miles on the going to the song the world?
I recommend checking out this Glacier Park link in the spring: www.nps.gov/applications/glac/gttsroadplow/gttsroadplowstatus.cfm
The site will have all of the details on snow plowing and how much of the road may be open. I suspect the plows will be busy in early June. Thanks for watching the video and enjoy your visit to Glacier Park.
I know how that feels... thought you gonna see the spectacular views but ends up all the way up from California are hazed/fogged. That's what I got from 14', same 17'.
I'm told the air was clear most of this summer. Didn't make it up there this year but I plan to return in the future. I never get tired of visiting Glacier Park.
@@WheelStories hooray maybe we can meet up there next year, I'm gonna do it again and cross my fingers for no forest fire, which becomes pretty much routine in past few years. th-cam.com/video/RE66nyHWws8/w-d-xo.html
Is a cruiser ok or do you need an adventure bike?
I like most motorcycles. Cruisers too. I ride a Harley Davidson as well.
Are you doing all these trips alone?
I'm normally traveling alone when making the videos or taking the long distance trips. Riding with me would be frustrating if you're not interested in the video production. I don't mind traveling alone. You can set your own pace and change plans in the middle of the ride. But over the years I have made many trips with my wife and a few riding buddies.
@@WheelStories I know what your saying. I got a couple buddies that it has to be their way or the highway. In 2017 we took a trip back east that we had planned for a year 4 couples my three buddies and I all work at UPS and have known each other for 20 years or more and we all live in Kansas but about 2 days into the 8 day trip one buddie and his wife decide oh were not gonna continue on were gonna do something different and they were the ones that mainly planned the trip. Needles to say we were all just kind of shocked but whatever. My wife and I are off the first two weeks of August and were wanting to ride somewhere beautiful like your video but also somewhere where we can stay a few days and ride places and come back to the hotel and also do some hiking like you were doing. Can you reccomend some places like that and if we do go to Glacier is there somewhere remote we can stay in a tent or hotel? You can email me if you like or put it on here or if you don't have time I understand and no big deal. moverfelt4589@gmail.com thanks and be safe out there.
In regard to trip recommendations, I'm not too familiar with Colorado but I suspect there are some good options for camping and riding in the Rockies. Not too far from Kansas. Yellowstone is scenic but riding in the park is slow going. I've not camped in Yellowstone but have spent nights in Cody, Wyoming, West Yellowstone, Montana and Driggs, Idaho. There are no cheap lodging options near Jackson Hole. It's beautiful and expensive in Jackson. North of Yellowstone there is Red Lodge in Montana near the Beartooth pass. Dramatic mountain road. As for Glacier, I like staying at the KOA campground on the east side of the park near St. Mary's. It's a bit pricey for a campground but there is a pool, electrical hookups, a small convenience store and the scenery is great. There are some motels nearby as well but I don't know much about them. I recommend doing some research on-line. The hotels inside of the park are normally booked well in advance. Good luck with your ride. Should be fun.
@@WheelStories thanks for taking the time to write me back. We've been to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain national park a few times there's not a lot of roads to ride on but tons of beautiful hikes and places to camp if you ever go there there's an 11 or 12 mile one way road that takes you to the top that has lots of switchbacks and places to stop and take pictures it is dirt and gravel but pretty easy to ride up I cant remember the name of it but if you ask one of the rangers they will tell you how to get to it it use to be kind of a secret. Thanks for the recommendations and the heads up on the slow riding through Glacier. We don't mind camping a few nights but not every night so I'm gonna have to get online like you said and check availability if any and prices. Thanks again and be safe out there.
Thanks for the tips on Estes Park. I want to make the trip to Colorado one of these days. Need to find an opportunity to take a week off from work and do it. Good luck on planning for your up coming adventure.
Nice. I want your job.
Not really a job. Just a passion for riding and sharing my motorcycle experiences. Thanks for the positive comment.
3:07 what song name is this?
I don't recall exactly what music I used in the video but I believe the music is listed in the credits at the end of the video. All of the music was gathered from TH-cam. I think listed artist and title for each cut.
@@WheelStories
that's right but can you send a link to the list of songs you used?
@@WheelStories finally i found the song the name of song is Beautiful lie (instrumental)
Hey WheelStories - thanks for putting the video together and sharing with us! Super cool to see your perspective ~ especially as you were there amongst the smoke and fire stuff. I actually rode up from lake mcdonald lodge to the loop yesterday on my mountain bike (th-cam.com/video/02c4d5JsU24/w-d-xo.html) - super interesting to see the differences between the two. Subbed and looking forward to your future rides!
From your video looks like this is the time of year to ride the Sun road on a pedal bike. Don't have to compete with cars. Thanks for watching and posting the feedback.
Definitely! Apparently Logan Pass has 10 - 15ft more snowpack than average seasons so they won't be opening the full road until late june/july. Gonna be all pedals and hiking boots til then haha
That's good to know for those thinking about taking an early summer trip to Glacier. Not as much fun if you can't cross the park over Logan Pass.
I bet - especially on your beemer. Mine is still cooped up, but hopefully she'll be able to make it out by the end of the season... if you make your way back through here definitely reach out!
Music is not good
Sometimes it's tough finding good music to use in my videos. Always a struggle.
Why doesn't Amtrak provide a way for us much farther East to travel there by train, and MC. I'll tell you why, it's a government funded scam. If it was a for profit operation they would cater to the tourist, to include the MC tourist. However, since it's a government operation, it exists primarily for the benefit of the government bureaucrats who are involved in its operation.
