I like visiting vistor centers the most coming to National parks. Love that they talk about Native Americans history.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I think many visitors centers should.

[@CalebEvans-c4q]

The visitor center looks amazing and love the direction of where the deskgn was going with the native Americans.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I loved learning more about the Native Americans in the area.

[@RVAmerica]

The groceries in that little store were the highest we have ever seen anywhere! They were absolutely crazy!. Lynn and Danny

[@coastskyadventures2752]

That store and the west side one was crazy too with buying food. I was like who is buying any of this.

[@matthewanderson490]

Have you seen my hobby

[@ZionKnox-w1o]

I actually like the St. Mary visitor center because it added more of the Native American culture. The other ones didn't add much of it. Just more profit which is kinda sad.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I noticed that too. I thought was odd.

[@KaydenValor]

St. Mary has a great visitor center because of the native American history. These visitor centers needs to be less commercial selling stuff and more about the history of the park.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

Very true. I wonder how much the profit goes to the park.

[@XabiHughes-x3t]

I do see an osprey nest. They are normally around a river somewhere. But can't wait to see the St. Mary visitor center. Hopefully more trails are available to us.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

In July and early August the trails in Glacier was closed off because of bears and snow.

[@HugoVozenilek]

The St. Mary side is beautiful and my favorite side. I like the west side too. But, east side is closer to the popular hikes. The St. Mary visitor center is may favorite because it dives into more of the Native Americans that lives in the area.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I agree. East side does have its advantages with getting to those hikes.

[@matthewanderson490]

Ibdont think so

[@mariobrooker8825]

Stayed at the East side Johnson st mary campground and the views was the best. Especially in the morning. I brought my wife the mountain goat stuff animal too. She is a collector too. Love the bear shirt. That's a funny saying.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

Stayed at Johnson campground too. The best campground that I stumbled upon, to make reservations. The stores had some great bear shirts.

[@DottonTuffin]

July is very heavy bear activity I noticed in the park. Many of the trails are either blocked off or still covered in snow. I wonder if September is the best time to come in the end.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I was thinking this too with the snow part. I might test this theory in the future.

[@BentlyWhite-w6h]

That is so cool to see an osprey nest right near the visitor center. Like the Native American setup they have there.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

Normally if their is a water source, an Osprey is close by in these parks.

[@AvelDanycan-ky1lu]

St. Mary visitor center was the best one in the park. More history with Native Americans. But the town in the area was very nice but commercial food was expensive, including gas.

[@ColterVanidestine]

Thanks for the pro tips coming to St. Mary visitor center, especially the cellphone signal. That will come in handy at some point. I like that you show us as much as you can on the East side so we are not going in blindly. It get us newcomers prepared.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

Surprised me about the cellphone signal as well. I was sitting at the visitor center when I got back from my trip for like an hour. 😅

[@BriannaWilson-e6g]

I bet you the groceries was out of pocket with the price. 😂 The visitor center was beautiful to see, especially the Native American area.

[@oharamorick908]

Had fun at the St Mary Visitor center when we was there. The teepee with the stories of the Native Americans was really informative to listen too.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I loved the stories in the teepee area. I missed the Native Americans Dance they had at St Mary campground. The one time I wish I drove my car into the park to experience it.

[@ninabates4014]

The little mountain goat stuff animal. So cute. It's so beautiful where you are at near your campground. St. Mary visitor center is my favorite because it's has more information of the native Americans that has lived in the area.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

The other visitor centers don't talk much of the Native Americans in the park which is odd. Maybe because they are very small visitor centers could be it.

[@truckerdave9498]

St Mary visitor center is a great place to visit. We got our backpack country permit there. I think it's the only place you can get it. But east side village is beautiful to say but, you are kinda trapped there once you get there. So gas up and bring food from the outside.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I agree on being trapped there. HWY 89 coming into the east side was not done and was dangerous going on it.

[@matthewanderson490]

The mark

[@derekjohnson4023]

We did drive past the East side village area then headed to the Many glacier area. We did go to St Mary Visitor center. That signal near the visitor center was a lifesaver for us. We forgot to pay a bill and we had no signal in the park. But we spent like two hours at the visitor center.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I had to make sure I paid a bill too because I couldn't remember if I did or not. 😅

[@michaeldean9731]

St. Mary Visitor center has the most information out of the other two. I love to go to the theater room and watch a short videos about the park or just rest for a second.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I hear you on the rest part. I was watched the small movie they had and went to sleep when I was at Yellowstone. I needed a break for a minute.

[@bridgetwalters410]

I love that you show many parts of the National Parks in your video and don't cram it into o e or two videos. Those that can't make it to these beautiful places want to see more of the parks.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

Thank you. I try to show as much as possible.

Hi

[@EricHoekstra-e5p]

Good to know about the Internet connection in the park or in the area if we need it. It's very spotty on the east side. The west side you van survive a little better. The gas is always questionable.

[@debbieannsmith8962]

We drove by the Visitor's Center last June. I wish we had stopped and paid a visit to the Center. Looks pretty cool.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

This visitor center is really nice and worth the visit. Lots of information and history of the park here as well, especially the Native Americans in Montana.

[@SharonMitchell-k1t]

I love the native American area at this visitor center. Good information here and the village of St. Mary is a nice place to visit. More rustic.

[@AtremJavadav]

Thanks for showing us the St. Mary visitor center. We thought it was the best one in the park. Those tips about the cellphone signal is true at that one spot.

[@WaylenTartal]

Thank you for showing us footage from the visitor center and the st. Mary area. I can always count on you to show us so much of the park. Many youtubers don't.

[@JesusaOwenby-r6h]

St. Mary village is a great spot to visit and you get to visit the visitor center that shows more of the history of the Native Americans. It's my favorite visitor center out of the two in the park. Love that green bear shirt you brought.

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

The St. Mary's area is so nice and peaceful, it's definitely wasn't the busier side of the park, but we did enjoy it. When stopped in at the lodge there and had a nice lunch after our day trip to Many Glaicer. I had to laugh when I saw you go into the same store we did way back in 2014 🤣 It looks the same! By any chance were you able to make it to the Two Medicine area on your trip?

[@coastskyadventures2752]

Sadly no on Medicine. It's so far away from the East side and from the West side. You would have to stay at a campground down on the west side and take that journey. If I go back to Glaciers, that is on the list to explorer and Canada side Waterton. I need to get my passport.

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

@@coastskyadventures2752 we camped there for 2 days when we visited, and it was beautiful and it was had less visitors. Definitely try to get there. We didn't do Waterton either, because we didn't have passports then, but I would love to go back and see that area as well. I have really been enjoying your Glaicer series.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

@@nationalparksprincess3216 Thanks on enjoying my videos. I am planning to go back to Glacier National Park in 2024. But next year planning on visiting some stuff in South Dakota. Excited about that.

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

@@coastskyadventures2752 You will absolutely love SD. Try to fit in Sunday Gultch trail Sylvan lake early in the morning is beautiful. There is so much to see and do in that area, have a wonderful time planning and traveling 😀

[@coastskyadventures2752]

@@nationalparksprincess3216 I will try to add that to the list for next year.

[@jamalmakerson2831]

I love that you show so much of the National Parks that you visit. Many people will never get a chance to visit them. But they can live through your videos. You are always funny in your commentary when things don't make sense. 😁

[@coastskyadventures2752]

Thank you for those kind words. I try to show as much as I can when I visit these parks. That's why my videos are separated in chapters like a book, so I can add if I ever come back.
