Matt, My brother and i were there on the same weekend- we rode through on your rainy day. I was on my 18 Heritage that I bought from you! He bought a bike from your dad back in the day. I agree- GNP and the southern loop back to the west side were some of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in this country. I can’t wait to go back with my wife to do some of the hikes over a few days.
Wow that’s so rad man! I wish we would have ran into each other. So cool. Well I know you had a good time. Thanks for leaving the comment.
@@MattLaidlaw *I have to do this ride with a few **#friends** **#Matt_Laidlaw**, thanks so very much for the scenic ride.*
Getting ready to retire soon and told myself my whole career I'm going to buy a Harley-Davidson retirement gift and take trips like these. I've never been as inspired than I was after I watched this and your Yosemite video. This is exactly the life I want to enjoy my retirement years. Keep up the wonderful content and keep me inspired until I can get 2 wheels under me and make my own inspiration.
Wow, what a masterpiece. As someone who has a BFA in photography, Matt, your cinemaphotography is on point. Your narration, editing, and soulful way of telling a story is beautiful. What an amazing 38 minutes of cinema. Slow clap.
As soon as you retire, elders in your life will have health problems needing your supervision, grandkids need a place too live, when those are straightened, you'll have a health problem. Ride Now. Retirement can be hard work.
Matt, dang you are NAILING it with these “short films”!!! These are the kinds of vlogs that motivate people to get away from the “noise” in life, get away from Corporate America, the nasty news on TV every night, to go buy the bike, and see this epic landscape we’ve all been blessed to experience. These journeys either solo or with the right company, really remind us what’s important in life and make for great story telling for all the years to come. The camping, the photo ops, the huckleberry pie, the weather, the elements, the wildlife, the big sky, the chatter. Man I REALLY appreciate these types of vlogs, and few narrate and do it as well as you… Glacier, Death Valley, Zion… providing great feedback to those buying bikes in finding the right ride for their riding style, and great intel on all the destinations to consider… I had that perfect moment as you pointed out so well and I never thought of it that way, but an early morning ride out of Telluride, leading a few guys after a big breakfast, on our way to a little town called Ridgeway, on our way to Aspen. No traffic, refreshing brisk weather, epic scenery, not riding hard following a long day of more than 540 miles, there was that relaxing moment where you think, “man, riding doesn’t get any better than this”. Great stuff Matt, you’re causing me to reflect and get long winded! Lol.
Well said 👏🏽
What a comment brother.. I couldn’t have expressed it better, thank you!!!
Here’s another gem that I’ll be looking at thousands of times like Zion and Hawaii. Great content!
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
I just moved to Montana in August 2021. I just did the "Going to the Sun Road" on September 10th by car entering from Saint Mary's East glacier Park side. Stopped at all the turnouts seeing Rising Sun, Sun point nature trail, Wild goose Island, Jackson Glacier Overlook, Siyeh Bend, Weeping wall, Avalanche creek, Lake McDonald Falls, Lake McDonald, ended at West Glacier Park. Was amazing. Stopped at Logan pass but parking lot was full. Wanted soooo badly to hike Logan's pass. Since I live here now in this beautiful state I plan on going again before they close the 50 mile scenic drive in Mid October. I read it's only open June to October because of weather/snow. Absolutely gorgeous ❤️
Amanda is a stunning beauty and when she smiles, hearts are crushed.
Living life. This is what it’s about. Friends, Family, absolutely great bikes, places to soak up and cherish. Life is short. Just buy the bike. Ride safe and ride often. Peace.
Awesome trip, thanks for sharing. I just got my license at 50 years old. Can't wait to experience this one day..
Thanks for watching! Get on the road to the sun my friend. You'll love it
One of your best. The best experience of our outdoor heritage is on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Matt, every one of these road trip videos keeps getting better and better. Great job! ✌️
I definitely agree man!! You need to do this at least once a week for my wife and I to watch and live through!
*Yes 👍🏼 indeed **#Matt_Laidlaw**.*
Man Matt u need an award for this 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I've been there on a Harley twice, over Lolo pass to Missoula then stayed in Kalispell. Great trip, I can't wait to do it again!
What a powerful place, great production, i will look forward to do that trip.
Cheers from Panama
Absolutely awesome Matt! All your road trip videos are incredible, but this one was so inspiring. Although, Zion and Hawaii are right up there. You are the perfect ambassador for HD and you obviously inspire thousands. Thanks for another great video. I felt like I was there.
2 words. Simply Beautiful!
We hiked 5mi in on the Highline trail. It’s our most favorite hike in Glacier and we spent a month in Columbia Falls.
Awesome Vid of an EPIC MC Adventure! Going to the Sun Hwy is just Fabulous on a Bike! The Girls having so much FUN was, for me, what made this Vid the BEST!!! Ride On!
Did this ride in July. Perhaps the most epic road I've been on, along with Beartooth Pass.
I still gotta do Beartooth! Thanks for the comment
Great video! I did this ride at the end of July and spent 3 days in GNP. We rode my bike from Virginia, to Sturgis, to Yellowstone, and then Glacier National Park. We were on a 3 week road trip over 6,000 miles ridden. I have to say Glacier National Park, and the surrounding area is the best riding I've ever done. We also hiked Highline Trail, 16 miles and 8 hours!. Had to ride the bike back to Columbia Falls after that hike. Amazing is an understatement.
I have had the pleasure to ride the Road to the Sun twice and both times it was like a religious experience. The scenery is that spectacular. And the road with the mountain and waterfalls on one side and the thousand foot drop off and the enormous snow capped peaks on the other side was epic. I have watched many of your videos and this one was by far the best…I just hope that one of your top ten rides includes the Ice Field Parkway heading up to Jasper Canada…It is almost as spectacular. Ride safe and take the Ladies more often, they make it fun…
One of your best rides to watch.
Your guys are so lucky to live where you do.
Two wheel freedom the only way to go
Absolutely love this video. Thanks. I plan to ride there from Tennessee next July
SOOOO EXCITED !!!!
Thanks for watching! I'm excited for you guys to see it
I was riding out west from Ohio for a month . Visited every national park I could except for Glacier. I told my buddy I was with that I wanted going to the sun road to be a ride my wife and I could experience together !! So next summer we are doing it !! I can't wait !!!
Enjoy man!
Rode my bicycle up that road and down the back side 20 years ago, its one of the greatest things Ive ever done just an amazing ride.
This was awesome. You're best video yet by far and I've seen tons of them. Cheers!!
Thank you. It's good to know I'm improving. Glad you all enjoyed it
Great trip Matt. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent Job of a Docu-Trip! I did that 2 years before in Sept. It is Beautiful beyond words. Thanks all!
Mind blown! This isn’t a UA-cam video, this is a beautiful short movie posted to UA-cam. Mind is absolutely blown. 🙏🏼 sooo good!
This comment means a lot man. Thank you. I spent a stupid amount of time on this “video”
@@MattLaidlaw it’s shows! Thank you for sharing them.
Man, these videos are just perfect. If I didn’t already own a Harley I would get one just because of Matt’s epic travel videos. Thank you for all the great content of places I’ll probably never get to visit as a Swede.
Thank you for bringing us along on a once in a lifetime journey. It makes me want to do it myself. The scenery was breathtaking and I am sure it's even more special in person. Events like this is what life is all about and are indelibly stamped in our hearts and minds forever. To enhance things even more, all of this was done riding the best motorcycles in the world.
Great friends, great roads, great rides. Life just doesn't get much better than that.
I like how Matt does his thing here quite excitingly! He is like a true professional explorer/journalist, & I feel like already been there (& well informed) watching his creations including his Yosemite video. Kudos to your craftmanship! Job Well Done! Hope more is coming.
Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Glacier is near the top of my bucket ride list.
If you get there, don’t miss heading down through Idaho. One of the most epic curvy and well paved roads within hundreds of miles is US12 from Lolo, MT. to Kooskia, ID. Yes, Glacier is nice, but to be there and not explore beyond is unfortunate
Beautiful ride. I’m impressed with how y’all handled the huckleberry pie. Thanks for the ride-a-long.
We weren't gonna let the huckleberries get the best of us, that's for sure
Matt I just love the way you get out and ride to some of the most beautiful places in America keep enjoying life on two wheels bro love it.
Thank you. Will do!
Solid time for sure. I was there 6 years ago the end of June & the road to the sun was close up above, because of snow & ice still covering the roadway . Spectacular place to see in person with your own eyes, one wow moment after another, is this place planet earth . Saw your cousin eye balling your Road Glide more than once, you might have a trade coming in. The Limited Glides are the cats-balls for touring & just long rides . Ride-On Amigos !
Thanks for taking us along on that beautiful ride.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride again, Matt!
It's great to see people smiling and having a good time instead of arguing about science lol
That Road Glide fits you and your lovely bride very well!
I know you're gonna get one next time you trade up...
You need to do this for a living. Ride bikes in beautiful places, tell stories and share the beauty of North-America.
Awesome video!!!! Thanks for sharing your trip with us! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Beautiful people and beautiful bikes in a beautiful place! Can't wait to get out to Glacier some day 💜
WOw those are some scenic roads !
OMG... Talk about Epic... Riding as well as Videography. That had to take 50hrs to edit. The footage was inspirational and the editing was insane. Great Job. Now I want to go to Glacier. Thanks. Insane Job.
That was brilliant. Looked like so much fun.
Доброго дня, коллеги, по мотопутешествиям! С огромным приветом к вам из России! Не понимаю по английски, но с удовольствием посмотрел про ваше мотопутешествие. Впечатлен! Дай Бог вам здоровья и новых удивительных дорог!!!
Im loving watching these Road trips. I gotta get a bike and do it before l get to old. Im on the east coast.
Love everything about this video!! Soundtrack, epic shots, captivating story! Well freaking done!!
Fantastic trip, I'm from Brazil and I love watch your videos. Good pictures, good text and.... good bikes.
Truly awesome roads and scenery, Glacier National Park is now on my must ride 'bucket list'
I rode it in 2005 on my 2004 Fat Boy on the way back from Sturgis, the road to the sun was amazing!! The weather sure changes fast it was about 75 going up the hill and when we crested it dropped into the 50's. Great video thanks for sharing.
Did this over Labor Day weekend with two college friends, one on a rented Harley - super epic. Of course we did this as part of a 4000 mile round trip up the coast and through the Columbia river valley. Flying over would have had us missing so many cool areas. Glad I was able to spare the 17 days on that trip.
Sounds amazing man
Thankyou,that journey brought tears to my eye,s.What a epic trip.Thank you so much Matt and family for letting us tag along.
Scenic overload! 😍👍🏾
Awesome video! Reminds me of Norway! Glacier will be on my list!
It's so beautiful there, I get tears in my eyes. Rode it 9/11/2020 on a 5 state ride. We're going back this July, this time with toy hauler and camping in the park. 10 days of awesome! I love Montana! I'm from WA State...going to escape when we retire.
That's something most people won't experience at least you took the time out to make a beautiful trip like that really cool Take care Is Matt
Fantastic video!!! I loved watching, makes me want to trade my '14 883 in for a Road King Special and ride all over America on it! Thank you and keep them coming.
Living the dream!! Truly spectacular trip and with family that share your interests, doesn't get any better! Love the bikes!! Thanks! Kudos the ones that videod, it's awesome 👌
What a great trip and awesome editing!
Yosemite, Zion, this... more clips like these, please! Fantastic stuff to watch on a cold, wet and dreary autumn day.
Check out my death valley video! Thank you for watching.
@@MattLaidlaw Yes indeed, there's a new video! Oh very good!
Wow!! Thanks for sharing your trip with us, it definitely looks like a bucket list experience. It was nice to see you experience it with the family you love, it definitely was definitely felt how close you all are and how much you enjoyed experiencing the trip together. 🍻👊
Just wow!! Absolutely breathtaking!
Appreciate it man. Thanks for checking it out
Matt, I enjoyed every second of your video! I’m addicted to your channel brother! Rookie rider of a Harley and 2 wheels in general! Thank you sooo much for taking us with!
These types of comments keep me going. Thank you for watching.

Thank you! Thanks for watching
One of the best moto channels! And I’m a sport bike rider too love everything you do for the community! Will be picking up a Harley next!
Thank you for the comment. Means a lot.
Hi from Rocken Ray stillwater NY. Your videos are so cool. The best for any questions about a bike, you tell it all, the personal builds you guys do. Awesome thanks
Thanks Matt I really enjoyed Your trip without your friends and famil. Love seeing all the happy faces. Keep your trips up Enjoy yourself with your friends that's great
Words can not describe the Majestic area of Glacier Park and all of Western Montana .Great job Matt!
Agreed!! Thanks for the comment
Matt and friends you have outdone yourself on this video. Great work and thanks for sharing your riding experiences with all of us. I. I now have another road trip on my bucket list. Thank you.
Thank you! It's for sure a Must-Do ride if you live in the US. Get out there!
Matt …thanks for the share, it’s on my list too. You guys rock!!!
What an inspiring video. This ride has been put on my bucket list. Glad you all had a great time
Simply amazing and so beautiful. Also beautiful videography and I just love your content. Now I'm definitely going to Glacier National Park!! Thanks Matt!!!!
So beautiful ❤️ I wish some day I could get a free ride on a Harley...
You always create beautiful videos of Epic rides. Well done sir!
Hell Yeah! Love the content.
I love glacier park, can't wait to go back and ride it again. Now if you haven't done it, ride from Jackson Hole Wy to Red Lodge Mt. You'll love it.
Matt, some of the most stunning territory in the country. I could have watched 2 hours or more of your coverage! I get up there often; never get tired of it. In fact I rolled thru just ahead of you guys the last week of June. I really preferred your time of year, the weather, the elements, minus most the crowd you guys enjoyed. Loved how you broke up the trip, grabbing a hike or two, grabbing a couple boats which I didn’t know they rented. I usually stay in town in Whitefish. But that Airbnb up near the ski resort, seems an epic place to stay? Aside from the incredible landscape, and definitely in my Top 3 US Destinations, what really stood out was the company you kept. You had 3 great couples, who really appeared to travel well together, and that can make or break the best of destinations; I’ve had a couple trips ruined by as much. You guys meshed so well together, would have been my kinda peeps to hang with too. I could go on and on… thee best narration and footage I’ve seen riding thru Glacier, it’s not even close. Well done!
WHAT A GREAT RIDE MATT
Damn, what a cool family! Legit. Well done ladies and gentlemen.
Thanks for the inspiration Matt this video made my day!
Great video Matt... Thanks to all you for sharing such a cooll trip... ride safe all
FU*#ing awesome video Matt! I really enjoy your content! Bought the Road Glide a few months ago and it already has 8,000+ miles!!! Because of this video, Glacier is now on my bucket list. I am FOR SURE doing this with my beautiful wife, my good friend and his wife someday!!!
Great adventure and fantastic video footages, and your narration is on point, kick stands up!!!❤️🤙🏼
I love Glaicer! I haven't rode my motorcycle there yet but I will someday!
Matt, great video and it's so wonderful to create memories with friends and family on two wheels!!! I usually travel alone as my partner doesn't like to ride so I'm quite envious of the great time the ladies were having on this trip,,,,,enjoy that!!!! GNP was on my radar this year but didn't work out, eyes bigger than pocketbook syndrome. This year I made it to Bryce Canyon, Zion Nat'l Park and Grand Canyon north rim as well as a group meet up and ride in north eastern Wisconsin and some local overnights so it's been a good season for me here in north central Nebraska. 2022 will be the year of GNP and I have to take my brother and his trike through Beartooth Pass, this video just sealed the deal that glacier will be ridden next year!! Thanks for the great video and sharing your trip with us. Huckleberry Pie is on the radar now too lol!!!
🛑🛑 Dang Matt….AWESOME Adventure!!!💯
When you guys plan a bike trip adventure, you guys go “all in”.
Amazing!!! My wife and I wish we could have came along 😀👍.
We definitely went all in this trip and it was incredible.
@@MattLaidlaw
Someday I would like to get a chance to ride with you.
Great Video and Editing.
Your Content is “off the charts”!!👍💯
Great video, great times with family and friends on 2 wheels. Doesn’t get much better than this. Matt you rock brother! Hopefully next year my brother and I will ride out and stop at the dealership.
Keep up the great work 😎
Amazing video Matt. Sometimes it works out for the best and just meant to be. Thank you for sharing.
I was there two years ago during the first week in Sept. It was warm and sunny, a great time to visit. Awesome scenery!
