Thanks for the add Randy. Another KZbinr had a blog on this hike. Just from watching her video, I knew THIS was the place to propose! The weather wasn't nearly as nice, but we made it work despite the sleet and rain!

[@AmericasParks]

Congratulations, Chris! You sure did pick a great location and I'm sure a wonderful life partner!

[@joelechner466]

Awesome. These are some of my favorite hikes in the country... Grinnell Glacier, Highline Trail, Iceberg Lake.... so many good ones. Excited to see what else you did!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, just uploaded hike #2 of 5 - the Highline Trail... Amazing!

[@fistachpl]

I love the way this channel is run! Gretings from Poland, hope to see some US beauty in 2 years!

[@AmericasParks]

Really encouraged to hear that! Thank you!

[@lorimb4753]

You are truly blessed to have the capabilities to do these strenuous hikes and see the MOST beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to the others!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks for the kind words and pleased to know you are finding joy in watching the videos!

[@lesliesmith7835]

Thank you, Randy, for taking us along on such a spectacular hike. Planet Earth is so awesome and beautiful... Robin 🙏🙏

[@AmericasParks]

Amen, brother! We sure do serve an amazing risen Creator!

[@lesliesmith7835]

Amen Randy....Thank You Jesus !!

[@jameshouse1268]

Absolutely beautiful!! Looking forward to this whole series. Happy Easter to you and your family. Take care always 😊

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks brother! Hope you have a super Lord's Day!

[@MichaelYoungblood1]

Wow! Just spectacular! Can’t say much else. Congrats on this sort of redemption visit to Glacier. I do recall you haven’t had great conditions on your prior trips which can definitely hinder an experience. Happy this one came through for you. Glacier is so high on my list. I have been patiently waiting until the kids are just a bit bigger because the hikes all seem to be biggies. I am hoping next year and maybe to a Yellowstone, Teton, Glacier circuit. Who knows, though. I wanted to do the Sierras this summer but lost the vote. Plan to hit up some of the Atlantic Maritime Provinces instead.

[@AmericasParks]

Great to hear! Glacier is tricky with the climate, wildfires, etc. It was my third trip before I got the ideal conditions. Good call regarding the children.

[@alrichardson7027]

WOW! Look at the turquoise color of that Lake...Amazing!

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

Great video, Randy! We've been to Glacier and have done the hike to Iceberg Lake but not Grinnell Glacier. Next time for sure! Awesome views! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@AmericasParks]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Have a blessed weekend!

[@starshocker]

Grinnel had been my favorite trail from Glacier. Glad to see it again thru your video here.

[@ervinslens]

This looks spectacular my friend, absolutely gorgeous scenery! 👏👏

[@DestinationEarth]

Wow, the views at the 3:08 mark are incredible. Amazing views from that high up. Looks like a really enjoyable trail, and lots of views along the whole thing. The lake is stunning with little pops of ice.

[@tomthatcher7757]

BEAUTIFUL 😍. Thanks for taking me to a National Park that I have not been to 😊.

[@jlopez1669]

I can’t wait to do this one! Once again, you’ve delivered great outdoor content for folks like me, that really need it!

[@AmericasParks]

Saludos Randy! Como siempre un esplendido paisaje! Gracias !!!

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much!

[@ChristieHutt]

Love your videos. Short but sweet. Informative and entertaining. Keep them coming!

[@AmericasParks]

That's really encouraging to know!

[@potatothorn]

Awesome hike!! so beautiful.we've seen other videos of this, you do a very good job of showing the trail and what the hike is like. We did not make it over to the Many Glacier side when we were there, thanks for taking us there this way

[@AmericasParks]

Glad you enjoyed the video, my friend!

[@papajon62]

Ha! I was there with my son August 2023 for a week. We encountered a couple of smoky days due to wildfires, which looks like you avoided. But got in 75 miles of hiking that week despite the haze, and made some lifetime memories in a very special place. Saw lots of mountain sheep 🐑 and goats 🐐 and managed to avoid Mr Griz. …. 🐻

[@AmericasParks]

Glad to hear about the investment you are making in your son's life. Memories you'll cherish for a lifetime!

[@davidwilliams3285]

Another great video Randy, can't wait for the others from Glacier. Take care brother, Happy Easter!

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you, brother! What a joy to serve our risen and victorious Savior!

[@kaylasmith1515]

So picturesque! The wildflowers, lakes, mountains and rock cliffs….breathtaking. I see why this trail is so popular!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, Kayla! Weather was a little better than when we went in 2014!

[@ozonetnvol]

Beautiful video Randy. I got to do rhis hike years ago but there were fires all over Montana at that time. We could barely see Grinnell Lake from the trail. Glad you went on a beautiful day. I watch all your trips, you have a great channel. Happy Easter! Christ is risen!

[@AmericasParks]

Blessed by those kind and edifying words! May the Lord be with you!

[@gagebulette7783]

Did this hike over the summer! One of the most amazing hikes I’ve ever done. Walking inside the glacier was unreal!

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

Great video. That is an incredibly beautiful lake!

[@AmericasParks]

Really appreciate the kind words!

[@jonathantitus2629]

Well done sir. I am glad to now know that a Glacier hike has cracked the Top Ten, There are other NPS sites I have enjoyed hiking as much as Glacier, but none that I have enjoyed more. God bless as always!

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much, brother! Glad to hear you have enjoyed this gem!

[@bobwallis1757]

AMAZING!!

[@whartonloser]

Happy Easter Pastor. HE IS RISEN !!!

[@adventuringoutdoorswitheric]

Wow! What a gorgeous hike this is! I could see this one being a top 10 hike! Everything was in your favor this day weather wise! No grizzly bears this time around, lol. Awesome video, Randy! Thanks for sharing, brother!

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, buddy! Hope you are doing well and enjoying your adventures! Have a blessed weekend!

[@Chillaxing113]

What a hike!! Thank you so much for taking us along. I traveled solo to Glacier and took really short hikes. I was too worried about the bears. And at the time I was limited because of my bad knee. Now I have a new knee (and I'm doing great) I just need to work on the courage about the bears. I need to go back and venture out a bit more. Thank you again for sharing all of your amazing videos.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks and glad to hear your knee surgery was a success!

[@dannydrawhands]

DId this Last year. Absolutely Amazing Hike!

[@AmericasParks]

Glad to hear you've enjoyed this gem!

[@jymnmeier3527]

Many Glacier is probably my favorite place in a national park. So unbelievably beautiful. So happy you were able to visit without wildfire smoke and high heat. Very excited to see what else you were able to do in your 5 day visit :) Thanks for sharing and inspiring

[@AmericasParks]

Hey Jymn, have enjoyed following your dear family on Facebook! Looks like all of you are having a super NP vacation!

[@jymnmeier3527]

@@AmericasParks Living the dream, dear friend

[@RobertLWard]

What an amazing hike. The 360 shots in this one were great. This is the number 1 park on our oldest daughters wish list to see someday. We are having to postpone this years family summer trip to Yellowstone/ Grand Teton, etc. New Mexico still on for Oct. Thanks for another great clip! He is Risen! Wishing you and the family a great one!

[@AmericasParks]

God bless you, brother! Sorry to hear your summer trip was postponed. Hope everyone is doing okay.

[@RobertLWard]

@AmericasParks thanks bud. Everything is going. It's just that our oldest son( Kyle) should be beginning commercial flight school soon. We also have grandchild number 8 just recently arrive. We are actually ( pennies and I) are leaving Monday to meet friends in Vegas and have some great spots to see planned. So stay tuned! Also have been fortunate to be able to make some content while on the road lately ( your way behind on me). Wishing you the best!

[@birdman5223]

Dig this stuff, thanks MrRandy☺️👍

[@itr0863]

hope your doing well pastor randy. thanks again for the great videos.

[@AmericasParks]

We're blessed... Hope you are are doing well too! Thanks for the kind words!

[@jasonstevenson547]

Loved the opening comments. "Glamor" lol. Going out for the end of day burgers, tacos, or burritos and some Ice cream. Is definitely the Glam part of the day! loved every other minute of our Southern UTAH trip. Rainbow Arch, boat trip will go down as an top 5 Epic adventure.

[@AmericasParks]

Right on, brother! Great hiking, fellowship and foods on that adventure!

[@RobertJaynesTube]

Love your videos. Have inspired me -- convinced me to do Angel's landing last week at Zions...but it was closed! Also applied to Yosemite Half Dome - didn't get permits! Zions was amazing. I'm going to do Grinnell as soon as I possible can make it happen based on this video.

[@AmericasParks]

Glad to hear you have been blessed by the videos! Sorry to hear about your experiences with Angels Landing and Half Dome. Keep applying and hope you'll have a super adventure at Glacier!

[@jaxtraxtv]

another great one

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you very much!

[@jimgreen5788]

Randy, I was here back in '84 when returning from AK. Sadly, after having perfect weather the whole trip, I hit here on a very gloomy day. I wouldn't have had a problem until that sketchy part around 5:35--narrow trail next to "the abyss".

[@alrichardson7027]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING with those Mountains...WOW! How's the family doing Randy.

[@AmericasParks]

Doing well, my friend! Looking to move back to the Midwest in a couple months so a lot going on with the transition.

[@charlessapp1835]

Ugh. Another item on my bucket list. The Good Lord has made this earth so beautiful that it is hard to pick where to go to. Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!

[@AmericasParks]

Risen indeed, brother... so much hope for those whom God loves so much!

[@DpatmurrayTravel]

Watching your videos made me start hiking and camping at national parks. Thank you for that! I was wondering do plan on going to Alaska or Hawaii national parks?

[@AmericasParks]

Glad to hear that! As for those two states, hopefully one of these days, but nothing in the works right now. Have a blessed weekend!

[@thehighlanders607]

Looks like you enjoyed your trip to Glacier this time, it sure helps when the weather cooperates. Would you now rank this park higher on your overall list?

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks! Yes, the weather on the first two visits was really disappointing. Blessed this time with the best conditions I could ask for. Easily Glacier is a top 10 park - perhaps a top 5 among the ones I've visited.

[@thehighlanders607]

@@AmericasParks I remembered your previous trips to Glacier and the unfortunate weather you encountered before. You mentioned that as a possible reason that Glacier wasn't higher on your list. For me its probably number 1, splitting hairs with Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I need to get back to Glacier to do this hike. Unfortunately, the Highline trail took me out for a couple of days. I need to get in better shape next time.

[@Josh-Hunt]

I want to come along!

[@AmericasParks]

I'm sure you'd be an enjoyable hiking companion!

[@starshocker]

Highline was great too

[@AmericasParks]

Right on! Just uploaded that video today.

[@ashleylucas-hemphill3689]

Our 10 year old stubborn daughter refused to wear tennis shoes on this hike last year..So, she chose to wear Walmart flip-flops.. She said they were comfortable lol. We live in Missoula, Montana and will be back soon to hike the Ptarmigan Tunnel and Cracker Lake! My favorites so far are Iceberg Lake, Grinnell Lake, and Apikuni Falls. There are some really beautiful hikes in other parts of Montana also.

[@AmericasParks]

Always a good national park story! :) Good taste on your Glacier selections!

[@pilotbecci]

Thank you for such a beautiful video! What time in the morning did you start the hike and which month was it? :)

[@AmericasParks]

Hiked this on September 14 and began at sunrise to be assured of a parking place for this popular trail.

[@SarahLabrie-hv8gq]

Wonderful video, thank you! I am doing this hike next month with my family. Curious how many hours it took you?

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that and have a great trip! I always go slower due to the camera work. Also like to enjoy the scenery. The average hiker is around 5 hours. It probably took me 6.5 hours.

[@farbeyonddriven8173]

It's avoided me too. That will end next July. Got to visit Gates of the Arctic this past August which was spectacular. Now that you've been to Glacier, which one(s) are at the top of your list that you haven't been to?

[@AmericasParks]

Hope you get some great weather in July! Still hope to visit Hawaii and Alaska one of these days.

[@scottcrankton2354]

How were able to get that drone-like footage starting around 3:12 ?

[@AmericasParks]

Drones are illegal in the US National Parks. It is actually a 360 camera on a 10 foot "disappearing" selfie stick. If you look closely, you night be able to see part of the handle in my right hand.

[@scottneal1895]

When were you actually there?

[@AmericasParks]

Early fall trip... just before the shuttles quit for the year.
