The End of Our Journey North: Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park is one of those places that you have to see to believe! Epic mountains in every direction, vast landscapes, and endless hiking trails to get you out there - this park was everything that we’ve been looking for since traveling in our van! Hiking to an overlook at Hidden Lake was the highlight of our trip but backpacking and camping at the infamously blue Cracker Lake was a close second. We could have spent a lifetime out there but unfortunately this marks the end of our journey north...for now. Enjoy all of the epic mountain views and good vibes! :)

We just got home from Glacier 4 days ago - was absolutely amazed by the breathtaking views and the color of the water. Pictures never do that beauty justice.
Magnificent work, you captured this trail simply magnificently! Landscapes and narration are brilliant!!!
I love the camera motion added to the still tripod shots!

Thanks Logan! We’re really trying to relax a little more and enjoy the videos. Talking to the camera has always been tough for us but we’re starting to lighten up I think 😅
Incredible views and journey through the park. Always showing these landscapes in their best light!
Grandeur of the Mountains does affect us. After seeing mountains and landscapes of Yellowstone, and before the feeling faded, we moved from our urban apartment to live in the cabin in the redwoods. We've been loving and enjoying it for 4 years now.
this was EPIC!
Beautiful places and excellent videos works and editing
Thank you guys, very relaxing, I keep coming back for your mountain views 🏔️
I’ve watched u guys for what seems like years now and you both have inspired me so much to get out there and do the things I want to do. It’s harder for me because I live in southern wisconsin where in order to climb I need to go to a gym or travel north, and in order to hike, I need to travel quite the ways. I’m 21 hoping to eventually move out west somewhere, but you guys have been my inspiration to pack up and do the traveling that I have done so far. So excited to see where life continues to take you guys. Can’t wait to watch!:)

As you know, our life is continually evolving so thank you for following along with us as we grow personally and professionally🥰 We are seriously so glad to hear that you are getting out there despite where you live! We believe there's beauty to be found any where you are so good for you girl for getting after it! Although we're a little biased, the west coast is the best so I hope you make it out here someday😊 Take care✨ -V

So many things that surprise me thank you for making a really great video. Keep up the great job❣❣
Glacier holds a special place in my heart so this is beautiful! Got to summit one of the peaks overlooking Cracker Lake recently and that valley is just magic. There's a whole family of grizzly bears who live up on that ridge and forage for moths, that's probably who knocked that rock! If you're ever back in the area I highly recommend a Dawson-Pittamakan Loop hike or overnight trip :) Beautiful editing and footage!
I really love your video, so harmony and peaceful🥰🌻🌻
Thanks for sharing your trip. Glacier is a special place. I did a 7 day backpacking trip earlier this year and it was spectacular. It's so true that it's hard to take a bad picture there. The scenery does the work. I felt so lucky to be there.

Let me know if you need recommendations for either. And later in October, be sure to drive down the Columbia gorge for some lowland color… if you haven’t made it back down to Reno by then.

Do parks give permits for backpacking on a first come first serve basis? Curious as to the early line at the permit center.
@codyandvictoria
Жыл бұрын
Not all parks offer walk up permits but some do and it's worth looking into if you happen to not get permits in advance. In Glacier National Park specifically, 70% of all backcountry campsites are for advanced reservations and then they leave 30% open for walk up permits:)
