    SUPER EXCITED to follow your journey! You're inspiring me and getting me motivated to start planning my own SoBo CDT section hike for 2025. Thank you for all of the really good, logistical info. I can't wait to see more of Glacier NP!

    After the lengthy comment I left on the previous Ultimate Glacier... video I will try to be brief this time. Thanks again for taking us along on what will be our 2nd armchair thru-hike of the CDT. (First time with Matt - 1st Church of Masochist Hikes- 2022-23. When you have time and electricity to spare on your hike, lol you can check out his channel if you don’t already know of him. So thank you again, for your fabulous coverage of my fav place Glacier National Park. Both Lea and I wish you safe travels and hiking. Don’t forget to make and have your group always make noise on the trail so the Grizzlies always are warned of your passing through their territory. God Bless and God Speed before the Colorado snow hits.

    The only thing better than planning a hike is hiking itself. The best part for me was the mileage chart at 9:12. Good luck, KHH!
