So happy that you are getting to spend quality time in Glacier! I worked in the park during the summers of 1985-87. The place means so very much to me so it always concerned me that you haven't had a full experience of this park. I have made a weekly trip, or two each summer for 25 years. I still hike with a co-worker from 1985. My current obsession is hiking as many of the 734 miles of trails as a day hiker can hike. I am at 404 miles. I leave in 4 weeks for my next adventure. Rockwell Falls is a favorite location for my son and I. There is a climbing trail to the right that allows exploring the many levels of the falls.
What beautiful scenery! It is enjoyable to spend some time in creation all alone on a Sunday and letting your heart worship the Creator and enjoying what He has given us.
Right on! So nice to reflect on His goodness as we frequently focus on what we don't have to the exclusion of the many gifts we often take for granted.
This series made me cry! Excellent absolutely excellent!! I am a native to the Big Sky country and the way that you did this series grabbed the essence of the Treasure State. It saddens me to see what global warming and climate change has done to those majestic glaciers. The scenery of Glacier is absolutely unmatched!! I love the channel and have been a subscriber for several years. Thank you Randy for your incredible dedication to conservation and bringing these amazing parks to us thru your camera lenses!! BTW… what music did you go with in this series… is outstanding!!!
Really humbled by your kind words! This was indeed a special trip to an amazing state. As for the music, I use a subscription plan called "Artlist." Not gifted with much musical ability, so selecting the right songs is always a challenge for me.
I loved my stay at Glacier Park Lodge two summers ago. The rooms are rustic but the rest of the hotel is amazing as seen from your footage. One thing not shown is the huge fireplaces on every floor. The food was good there as well and yes that ice cream is amazing. Huckleberry anything is always good! The staff was really friendly as well. There are not a lot of options on the East side of the park to stay or eat, especially late in the season, so if you can afford it because rooms are not cheap, I would definitely stay here.
Great video, Randy! Cobalt Lake looks beautiful and like a relaxing spot for a break. I also enjoyed learning about the history of Glacier Park Lodge. As always, thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
Praising my Savior all the day long... Thanks once again for sharing your trips with us. We absolutely love Glacier, so this is a great video for us. We have found that the Two Medicine area is often less crowded and delightful. We have never been in September, but that is our plan for future trips--love seeing the extra color. God bless!
Missed that hike in 2018. Won't miss it next visit. To see creation and all its wonder, you can't deny God is in control and the perfection He made but we continue to destroy. Thanks for sharing video.
Glacier is my favorite park and area. Also right west of it is the National Forest with good hikes to fire towers plus a visit to Polbridge Mercantile for a Bear Claw caps the trip.
AWESOME hike and great look at the Lodge. we haven't made it to the many glacier side, thanks so much for taking us this way. ps i hope you brought home some huckleberry syrup- add it to vanilla ice cream it is delicious....
@AmericasParks Hey, I've been to Northern Michigan to places like Mackinac Island and Northern Michigan after driving the bridge. I might surprise you Randy.
I loved the sunset at Glacier Park Lodge! Too bad you could not do the Dawson-Pittamaken hike. I did it 2 years ago and it became my favorite hike in the park. It is a long hike but the views are incredible.
Randy can you make a video how you tent camp and hike the places on a budget? How you stock up on food prior to entering the park, what limited equipment you bring with you on the plane? What equipment you might pick up after you land to your destination? How you stay warm at night at these places?
Great questions! There are a few videos I made along those lines already. Check the "How To" folder on the bottom of my playlists. th-cam.com/play/PLQ0D2-0IoT4iqtnt2Ubkkw8Xc6oc8AzYB.html
We were in Glacier Sept 14,15 and 16 before we headed to Banff and Jasper. Would of loved to have met you. We hiked to some of the falls , Highline trail and Hidden lake.
Glad to hear that! Actually, drones are illegal in all the US National Parks. I got those shots by using a 360 camera on a 10' selfie stick with a "fish eye" perspective. The stick "disappears" in the footage. If you look closely you might be able to see the handle in my right hand. Cool toy!
Not sure if it's by Cobalt lake. This should take you there: th-cam.com/play/PLQ0D2-0IoT4iqtnt2Ubkkw8Xc6oc8AzYB.html I meant this: www.alltrails.com/trail/us/montana/pitamakan-dawson-loop

Great words Harry. Enjoyed the comment!
I can't get over how beautiful Glacier National Park is! Looks like a great scenic trail that has many great sights along the way!
Yes, this was a great trail indeed. Really hard to go wrong in this park!
What beautiful scenery! It is enjoyable to spend some time in creation all alone on a Sunday and letting your heart worship the Creator and enjoying what He has given us.
A BIGGGGGGG AMENNNNNNNNNN
Right on! So nice to reflect on His goodness as we frequently focus on what we don't have to the exclusion of the many gifts we often take for granted.
Beautiful area! Glad that bridge was strong enough to hold all your muscles! Wow, that lodge is impressive. The sunset is unreal.
haha... made me remember I still need to lose 10 pounds! :)
Oh, that was stunning. You may not have been in church, but you brought Gods creation, glory and majesty to us. Truly, so gorgeous. Thank you!
Amen! The heavens and works of His hands do indeed declare His glory! :)

Nice hike into Cobalt Lake. Looks beautiful in the fall with the colors.

Appreciate the quality review for other viewers! Glad to hear you had an incredible time at GNP!
@@AmericasParks Hey thanks!
Cobalt Lake is so picturesque! And that huckleberry ice cream looks good too!
Thanks Kayla! A little better weather than when we visited in 10 years ago!
I know I have said it many times, but words cannot capture the true beauty of Glacier
Thanks my friend! Hope your family had a great National Park adventure!
Thank you Randy, for another beautiful and amazing hike... Robin ::-)
Love your videos. Thanks so much for sharing. My goal is to hike in as many national parks as I can get to. You inspire me.
Really appreciate you sharing that! All the best to you!

Thanks brother! May you continue to seek our dear Savior with great joy!
Amazing video! Loved all the colors on that trail.
Thanks for watching Hailey!

Praise the Lord... appreciate your "eyes to see!"
Glacier is my favorite park and area. Also right west of it is the National Forest with good hikes to fire towers plus a visit to Polbridge Mercantile for a Bear Claw caps the trip.
For dedicated hikers, Glacier NP is really hard to beat.
So awesome ...thanks for sharing.
Fantastic footage RMac! Thanks for posting, and stay strong! 💪
Amen brother. Thank you
God bless you Jeffrey!
Another gem bud. That bridge looked a little scary. The scenery at glacier is amazing
Appreciate that brother!
AWESOME hike and great look at the Lodge. we haven't made it to the many glacier side, thanks so much for taking us this way. ps i hope you brought home some huckleberry syrup- add it to vanilla ice cream it is delicious....
Always love your videos
Really encouraged by those words, thank you!
Hello America's Parks, WOW glacier National Park is so amazing Randy. I enjoyed your footage.
How's the family doing?
We are doing well, Al. Getting ready for the move to Michigan in a month. All the best to you and yours!

Good taste, my friend. So many have commented that the D-P hike is among, if not, their favorite hike at GNP.
thanks for sharing

Thanks for the memories! Drone ok?

Is it “Pitamocking” Trail? I’m not finding any trail with that name by Cobalt Lake. Am I not hearing you correctly? I’ve listened over and over. Lol!
Not sure if it's by Cobalt lake. This should take you there: th-cam.com/play/PLQ0D2-0IoT4iqtnt2Ubkkw8Xc6oc8AzYB.html
