The colors of Glacier National Park [PICS]

Really stunning photos! Can I live in the “lone house?”

Man, can I please just be teleported to some tiny tent in the middle of all this massive wilderness? Please pretty please? This makes me want to get lost. With some coffee, a book, and my hiking boots.

Glacier just seems like one of the last truly ‘wild’ places left in the lower 48. I think it’s top of my list of National Parks I’d like to visit in the years ahead.

Gorgeous. I’m in Utah now and this actually within driving distance ( not single day, but road trip distance ). I’ve never been! Beautiful pics.

I cannot wait to get back to Glacier this summer to hike and sit among one of the true temples of the Earth.
Last month, though my stay was snowy and far to brief I caught a glimpse of Montana that has not left me…

Awesome pix, #6 is my favorite!

Last night I was soaking in a hot-spring outside Yosemite with 4 adventure travel guides and 2 mountain expedition guides. We couldn’t see each others faces, but stayed up until 2 am telling jokes and sharing stories:

Q: What do a mountain guide and a large pepperoni pizza have in common?

A: Neither can feed a family of four.

Q: What do you call a mountain guide without a girlfriend?

A: Homeless.

Q: How do you know you’re in a hot-spring with a mountain guide?

A: Don’t worry. He’ll tell you.

Anyhow, we got talking about our favorite places in the world. All but one of us had spent significant time in the Himalayas, and between us we had explored most of the Andes, New Zealand, a big chunk of Africa, the Alps, Southeast Asia and all the ranges of North America.

Surprisingly, there wasn’t much argument about the most gorgeous, awe-inspiring landscape in the world.

Glacier.

It simply doesn’t get any better. 6 adventure guides drinking whiskey naked in a secret hot-spring can’t be wrong.

You owe it to yourself to go.

Wow! These photos are absolutely stunning! Okay, it’s settled, next road trip is to Glacier National Park.

Those are some of the most amazing photos I have ever seen hands down!

Glacier is absolutely amazing. This brings back so many memories of my last trip there. Drove all the way from Ohio to see Glacier, The Tetons, and Yellowstone. Best trip of my short life. Cannot wait to go back. As amazing as these pictures are, they don’t do the park justice. It is breathtakingly beautiful. This is by far my favorite state or national park in the country. The wilderness, landscape and wildlife are stunning to a first timer. Glacier is a must see for anyone who truly appreciates natural wonders!!

WOOOW! Gorgeous place and fabulous photos! Have to include Glacier National Park in my Travel Destinations wish list…

I worked at the many Glacier Hotel summer of 1993. Wow. What a place to spend a summer! We were warned that there are 2 seasons in Glacier – winter and July – and they weren’t kidding! I remember being very cold that summer. Good times, though, good times!

What memories! I worked trails for the Park Service from 1958 – 1962 while in college, and then never made it back until 2004, 43 years later. We saw much more wildlife on the latest visit, but trail maintenance showed the effects of reduced budgets. Three years later when I went back to the Montana for my 50th high school reunion, my wife and I made two of the more rigorous hikes to the Ptarmigan Tunnel out of Many Glacier area, and another of my favorites, the Swiftcurrent Lookout above Granite Park Chalet. We were late 60′s and from sea level.

The glaciers and icefields are diminishing rapidly, so don’t wait too long to enjoy this treasure.

just beautiful pictures
