    Heading there this summer for my 3rd and probably final trip. I'm 78 and a great-grandma, I still tent camp in the backpacker-hiker sites. I love that they provide shuttles so I can travel around the Park at will. I travel by train from Colorado. It's an epic trip, clearly my favorite. I live in Colorado and wouldn't live anywhere else, but Glacier owns a big part of my heart. You do an excellent job with your videos. Thank you.

    thanks again for your comment. You sound like my. She did the same thing with a friend when she was in her mid-70's. I hope I'm able to camp when I'm 78.

    Thank you so much! and thanks for subscribing. It's very nice to hear the work is appreciated! btw- as you may know this video includes segments from the complete glacier guide (that's up to 2 hrs long depending on the version) if you haven't watched it already you should. Skip the the many glacier segments you seen. If you're a hiker my 50 hikes in glacier is a good resource.

    Love from Mississauga, Ontario! It is an informative video! My family would love to be here, but it is just that traveling that far west is a challenge.

    Hi Steve, as you know frpm your frequent trips to Glacier, I would suggest that the Many Glacier area likely has the largest concentration of great hikes in the continental US.

    Did you have to get a permit to film this video? Lots of creators don’t go to national parks due to the tremendous amount of hoops you have to jump thru to film there. Be careful !

    i’ve made a very detailed video on the grossly unfair Filming permit rules for national parks. I spoken to the GNP Ranger in charge of permits- and he doesn’t like dealing with the filming permits either. At other parks Rangers have told me to keep a low profile. and all this footage was shot before that unjust law went into effect.
