Thanks for recognizing the effort. btw- this is vid includes segments from my more complete glacier np guide “The Hiker’s national park” you might want to check it out
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.
Glad it was helpful! thanks! Please subscribe to find the best info on GNP on youtube. You’ll find afew other videos on Glacier with even more info. The 2hr one and 50 hikes will be useful. skip the segment la you’ve seen.
You have a very smooth, joyous voice. Love listening to you speak. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Not heading out to Glacier until next year. Your videos are so helpful and well done. Thank you!
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.
Headed to Glacier 6/14. We were lucky enough to get reservations at the Many Glacier Lodge. Super excited about that! Been watching your videos, v excited to hike the Grinell Glacier Trail. Thanks for all you do!
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.
@@TheWestisBig😮😢 So sad! This Park is really amazing and you're a great professional! I hope you can get better oportunitties to make beautiful trips there! Heloisa
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.
I will be traveling to Glacier NP in July 2025. I am very interested in trying to see moose at Fishercap Lake. Approximately what time of day do you refer to when you say that moose frequent the lake nearly every evening, Is there a time window that I should plan to be there. Thanks in advance.
Please subscribe. Early evening depending on the season. in Sept they were there 5-6 pm ish but i don’t know if that’s because the sun sets earlier. ask the folks at the motor inn. they will know
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.
The best information on Glacier National Park. Period. Well Done!

Thanks! Just take 1 west and turn left at Calgary. Btw - I have cousins in Kingston and London ON
Not sure about the name, but I started at Logan Pass and hiked along the Garden Wall. Beautiful!
That’s the Highline
I hope you can visit Glacier Park several times and share with us beautiful photos! Heloisa

thanks again for watching Heloisa. I hope you're doing well down in Brazil

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.
I have to agree!!
But to bathe, is it necessary to make a reservation to bathe in some lakes first? or is it free access??
well that’s the first time i’ve heard that question. no reservation required but don’t use a nasty soap
@ no what i mean is , that if i can swim. I’m sory the question.
Thanks
ahh n no worries. Swimming is fine. the water is cold though.

@@TheWestisBig thanks! I was genuinely curious how true it was and how they regulate it anyway 🤷🏼♀️
