Going-to-the-Sun Road at Glacier National Park - The Complete Tour End-to-End
September 19
"Going-to-the-Sun Road" runs through Glacier National Park. It spans the E-W length of the park and crosses the Continental Divide at an elevation of 6,646 feet. Construction began in 1921 and was completed in 1932. Join me in the video for all the highlights of this 49 mile masterpiece.

PLEASE NOTE: If wondering, I used the utmost care when filming the driving sections. Eyes were always on the road, not the camera and rarely did I shoot with other cars and people in immediate proximity.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I always sense God's presence in Glacier. There are many special parks and many great roads in them, but I fell in love with Glacier as a boy back in the 70s and that love has never waned. Taking my own children twice was a true blessing and my wife and I hope to return at least a couple more times before the Lord call us home--this video reminded me of the incredible beauty one finds there. God bless you for ALL the videos you have shared over the past few years. Many brought back memories and some prompted ideas for our trips. Best wishes to your entire family.

I want to thank you and others for the encouragement that you give to others. With yourself and the other people I follow, I have seen 33 national parks (8 in Canada) in 53 weeks. The influences that I have seen by you and the multiple vloggers have encouraged me to see not only National Parks but the rest of the country as well. I feel like the Griswolds going to Wally World. Though you will out hike me all day long I now see things that I could only see online, but because of you and the other people I follow, I am out doing things I would not have done 10 years ago. For that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you for what you do.

I have been to many places in the world. I have seen glacier in the arctic, desert in the Sahara, dried beach of Dead Sea, beautiful mountains of Patagonia and Swiss Alps. Last year I did a road trip from NY to Oregon, and I stopped by national and state parks along the way including this one. Sometimes I camped in the park. I realized there is no need to get out of America. We have all of these beautiful sceneries. We are truly blessed. Good job on filming the park, brings me back all the good memories.

"There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
