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.

[@TheWestisBig]

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.

Great video as I plan our trip for August 2025. Really appreciate all the fabulous detailed information and beautiful photos. You’ve done a great job.

[@TheWestisBig]

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.

[@kylebowen8895]

Thanks, Such valuable information...

[@TheWestisBig]

So nice of you

[@floridasunshine330]

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!

[@TheWestisBig]

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!

[@TheWestisBig]

you’re welcome and thanks for the comment!!

[@marieb4]

The excitement I feel when I see a new "The West is Big" video! This is such a valuable resource. I appreciate you.

[@TheWestisBig]

I appreciate that! thanks!

[@ervinslens]

Gorgeous work my friend, this looks and feels amazing!

[@TheWestisBig]

Thanks!!

[@HusbandnWifeDuo]

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]

Thanks! Just take 1 west and turn left at Calgary. Btw - I have cousins in Kingston and London ON

[@thelakeman5207]

Not sure about the name, but I started at Logan Pass and hiked along the Garden Wall. Beautiful!

[@TheWestisBig]

That’s the Highline

[@soniamariadefigueiredofern8971]

I hope you can visit Glacier Park several times and share with us beautiful photos! Heloisa

[@TheWestisBig]

[@TheWestisBig]

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

[@soniamariadefigueiredofern8971]

​@@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

[@soniamariadefigueiredofern8971]

​@@TheWestisBigWe are fine, thank you so much! Heloisa

[@martinjdesmond]

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.

[@TheWestisBig]

I have to agree!!

[@richardjanuary8879]

But to bathe, is it necessary to make a reservation to bathe in some lakes first? or is it free access??

[@TheWestisBig]

well that’s the first time i’ve heard that question. no reservation required but don’t use a nasty soap

[@richardjanuary8879]

@ no what i mean is , that if i can swim. I’m sory the question. Thanks

[@TheWestisBig]

ahh n no worries. Swimming is fine. the water is cold though.

[@HoopsMD1]

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.

[@TheWestisBig]

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

[@yeehawtomahawk]

Do you still accept donations for your work?

[@TheWestisBig]

Absolutely! They are very much appreciated- if you are so inclined!! my paypal is [e-mail] . Once I even received a check.

[@MorgansCreativeLife]

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 !

[@TheWestisBig]

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.

[@MorgansCreativeLife]

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