Thanks for the add Randy. Another KZreadr had a blog on this hike. Just from watching her video, I knew THIS was the place to propose! The weather wasn't nearly as nice, but we made it work despite the sleet and rain!

Wow! Just spectacular! Can’t say much else. Congrats on this sort of redemption visit to Glacier. I do recall you haven’t had great conditions on your prior trips which can definitely hinder an experience. Happy this one came through for you. Glacier is so high on my list. I have been patiently waiting until the kids are just a bit bigger because the hikes all seem to be biggies. I am hoping next year and maybe to a Yellowstone, Teton, Glacier circuit. Who knows, though. I wanted to do the Sierras this summer but lost the vote. Plan to hit up some of the Atlantic Maritime Provinces instead.

Great to hear! Glacier is tricky with the climate, wildfires, etc. It was my third trip before I got the ideal conditions. Good call regarding the children.

Thank you, Randy, for taking us along on such a spectacular hike. Planet Earth is so awesome and beautiful... Robin 🙏🙏

Wow, the views at the 3:08 mark are incredible. Amazing views from that high up. Looks like a really enjoyable trail, and lots of views along the whole thing. The lake is stunning with little pops of ice.

Ha! I was there with my son August 2023 for a week. We encountered a couple of smoky days due to wildfires, which looks like you avoided. But got in 75 miles of hiking that week despite the haze, and made some lifetime memories in a very special place. Saw lots of mountain sheep 🐑 and goats 🐐 and managed to avoid Mr Griz. …. 🐻

Randy, I was here back in '84 when returning from AK. Sadly, after having perfect weather the whole trip, I hit here on a very gloomy day. I wouldn't have had a problem until that sketchy part around 5:35--narrow trail next to "the abyss".

Wow! What a gorgeous hike this is! I could see this one being a top 10 hike! Everything was in your favor this day weather wise! No grizzly bears this time around, lol. Awesome video, Randy! Thanks for sharing, brother!

@@AmericasParks I remembered your previous trips to Glacier and the unfortunate weather you encountered before. You mentioned that as a possible reason that Glacier wasn't higher on your list. For me its probably number 1, splitting hairs with Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon.

What a hike!! Thank you so much for taking us along. I traveled solo to Glacier and took really short hikes. I was too worried about the bears. And at the time I was limited because of my bad knee. Now I have a new knee (and I'm doing great) I just need to work on the courage about the bears. I need to go back and venture out a bit more. Thank you again for sharing all of your amazing videos.

I need to get back to Glacier to do this hike. Unfortunately, the Highline trail took me out for a couple of days. I need to get in better shape next time.

Our 10 year old stubborn daughter refused to wear tennis shoes on this hike last year..So, she chose to wear Walmart flip-flops.. She said they were comfortable lol. We live in Missoula, Montana and will be back soon to hike the Ptarmigan Tunnel and Cracker Lake! My favorites so far are Iceberg Lake, Grinnell Lake, and Apikuni Falls. There are some really beautiful hikes in other parts of Montana also.

Appreciate that and have a great trip! I always go slower due to the camera work. Also like to enjoy the scenery. The average hiker is around 5 hours. It probably took me 6.5 hours.

It's avoided me too. That will end next July. Got to visit Gates of the Arctic this past August which was spectacular. Now that you've been to Glacier, which one(s) are at the top of your list that you haven't been to?
