@@mbhuiyan223 Little late for a response but ..... May might be a touch early. For example, Going To The Sun Road usually doesn't open until mid-June and can run as late as early July. Keep a close eye on the weather and snow reports. If you are trying to avoid snow and crowds, maybe try early September. Less crowded and no snow. But, if you are going to go to GNP in the late season, keep an eye on the fires. They can shut down entire sections of the park in the back half of the season.

I was about 12 the first time I went through the park. My sister has lived here her whole life and we were visiting. I decided that I was going to move here someday. I'm 38 now, and moved here a little over a month ago. Montana (I prefer northwest) is by far one of the most beautiful places to live. Never gave up on that dream.

You will see it one day. If it interests you now....it will continue too interest you. Little secret...it wil still be here. Maybe not the glacier's as they are melting more each year. But... plenty of amazing sights to see. It's my backyard and the area has been my home for 25 years. I came for a vacation and....never left! Truth! I never went back to Tucson. I stayed and started over. All because the area calls to me. It may do the same for you. Turn your dreams into reality. It's easy! You just have to put one foot in front of the other 👣👣👣👣....and go! Cheers from Montana! Home!

Excellent presentation. My last trip to glacier I stayed for 30 days and bears almost everyday. Many near iceberg lake and many glaciers. Two medicine was my 2nd favorite area. There were many smaller animals and very few people. The food. On the west side, it's civilization. On the east side, not so much. The best photos any valley looking west at sundown. St Mary's lake area especially. The colors bounce off of the lake. That's enough from me. Again, this is one of the best glacier presentations I've seen.

Nice video! I am fortunate to have visited Waterton and Glacier four times and feel blessed to have, for the most part, avoided the mass crowds. You are so right about starting early and watching out for bears! Folks ahead of us ran into a couple of Grizzlies at Hidden lake. The little spur trail of the highline trail, about a mile before granite chalet was a fav! Puts one on the continental divide with the four or five lakes in view on the backside was worth going to. Crypt lake hike with boat ride across waterton lake with view of prince Edward hotel (?) and no boundary patrol on the back side as, I believe, one enters the US from Canada around Crypt lake Thank you for a relapse on some great hikes

Love the views on Going-to-the-Sun Rd, Logan Pass, St Mary Lake, even the long and arduous hike to Scenic Point, etc, even cross border via Waterton Intl Peace Park. I’m missing those road trips and camping days. Pining to return if it weren’t crowded.

Thank you for this awesome video. We are going to GNP for our second time this June-July for 5 days. Last time we hiked the iceberg lake trail and loved it. We are in our mid to late 60s now and hope to try some of the easy to mild trails. This time we are staying in the new Clear Sky Domes and they look awesome. Thanks again for the information. BTW, we hope Canada will open up and let USA folks in. Wish to visit the Prince Of Wales area.

Thanks! FYI- I made a video of my Oct 1 trip last year to show the fall color- You're going to catch some of that it's quite nice- if the smoke stays away. Also, you may want to check out my 93 min video Glacier the Hiker's National Park or my 50+ hikes in glacier before you go. Lots more good info. And of course learn about the Sun Road reservation system and the just implemented Hiker shuttle reservations.- the shuttles are usually not running that late - but things are changing fast- so check with them.

I hope you watched my update to this video. The east side of Glacier is still closed! Including all east side lodges. Not opening until july1 at the earliest. The Sun Road isn’t open either. Still plowing snow. Maybe by the time you get there it’ll be open but no opening date has been set. We would love to hear back from you as your trip progresses to inform others.

@@TheWestisBig Thank you so much! I did watch your Covid update, which was very informative, but now would like to watch the video about the hiking, at least on the west side. It's a shame we won't be able to take Sun Road all the way over, but I think at this point, it ends at Avalanche. We'll have to return to see the east side another year. I wish the shuttles and the boat tours were running, as well. Thanks again and happy trails!

Thanks for sharing this great info. We just got back from a week at Glacier. It is very beautiful. The hikes are wonderful and we did many of your suggestions. There are lots of crowds and parking is tough to find because the shuttles are not running this year. The east side is closed because it is on Blackfeet Indian Reservation. You can only go as far as Rising Sun before you have to turn around. Many of the rangers said that due to no shuttles and the closing of the east side, people are congested in the west side of the park. Bring a mask because they are required in the visitor centers. They are not required on the trail but some people were wearing them. Pack your bags, masks and patience and go see this beautiful park. It is hard to describe how beautiful it is. The hiking is outstanding and definitely worth the blisters and scrapes! Planning to go back in 2021.
