    Good video! I had the privilege of driving Bus #86 back in 1975. The buses had manual transmissions, no power brakes or power steering. And we used hand-held microphones. The current drivers have it a lot easier than we did. BUT, Best summer ever!! I return whenever possible and just did back in July.

    I stayed at a cabin at Apgar village for almost a full week in 2022. I did avalanche lake, trail of the cedars, red bus ride/ going to the sun road, a boat ride on the east side, etc. , I can’t imagine just spending a few days. I love the places you featured. I did not want to leave.

    Glacier National park is beautiful!! I absolutely love the red buses. Who doesn’t love goats 🐐❤️❤️. You are a great driver Howard,that was a tight squeeze.The marmot was too cute.I never knew about glacier dust,and it makes the teal colour!! Unfortunately we know about the devastation of fires,still many burning in Quebec,and many other provinces. Very glad they have recovered from the fires.Such a beautiful area,so many things to do.Thank you for this wonderful video. Take care.Big hugs for the puppies.❤️❤️🇨🇦

    SOLD! Gonna do the Red Bus Tour on our first day in St Mary. I couldn't decide, but since I "know" and trust you two from years of watching your videos, I took your recommendation. It's July 2024 as of my comment and I wish I were at the GNR seeing your new View you're going to get to use. Can't wait to hear how you like that one. Keep rolling - your fans appreciate your time, effort and talents.

    Great job on a brief overview of one of our most amazing national treasures. Just left there myself and could almost never pull into any of the pull outs on the GTS road. However, we went back in the evening hours and it was much less crowded. FYI: it doesn’t get dark until almost 10PM !! Just curious how many months ahead are you guys having to book the parks. I have yet to get into one for camping !!

    This is truly a Grand park. I have been twice but going to the sun road was not fully open, either due to snow or road work and the red busses where not running either time. Im trying to get back late August this year. Always interesting videos. Also on my avalanche trail had a black bear cross the trail in front of me. Thanks

    Yes, I remember just how beautiful Glacier is, and you’ve really reinforced it! Thank you! Can’t wait to return some day soon. What I remember is pulling off the road where everyone was obviously looking at something…an absolutely HUGE Grizzly bear in the distance, BUT, he was so big he just stood out so clearly…especially when he stood on his hind legs, sniffing the air. He stood half as tall as the trees around him! Such a majestic animal. Oh, you two are having so much fun! Wish we were with you, as you take us to so many beautiful nd interesting places…plus, always giving me my big, silly Sunday grins! Take care, many thanks,& love to you, Virginia
