omg a coloring book for national parks??? What an amazing way to spend down time at…. Well… the national parks!! I must have

[@TravelSzN]

Great idea! :D Thank you!

[@johngalt7296]

As a native Montanan had to say that oil painting was top shelf. And I actually paused the video to order the coloring book for my daughter.

[@TravelSzN]

Wow, thank you so much! I was inspired by the beauty in Montana and love creating landscape paintings from my travels. I hope your daughter liked the coloring book I made! :)

[@kimditeresi2744]

Great video. Super excited to see this in person in just a few days. Thanks for sharing.

[@TravelSzN]

thank you! have an amazing time in Glacier NP!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Iceberg Lake is exactly what I picture in my head when I think about Glacier National Park - stunning mountains, that brilliant blue Alpine Lake, and a GRIZZLY BEAR! I'm glad that you had a very positive encounter, although I'm sure that my heart would have been beating faster if I was in your situation. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous hike!

[@TravelSzN]

thanks so much, glad you liked it! :)

[@JohnAmes]

What a amazing place to hike 🚶‍♂️

[@TravelSzN]

yes! thank you!

[@HikeToWildlife]

Wow! The mountains and their reflections in the crystal clear lake are stunning, the colors are amazing. Seeing a grizzly bear is such a treat when he keeps a social distance 😀. Mega Like.

[@TravelSzN]

yes it was! thanks for watching. it was an amazing hike!

[@donroy7825]

Hi, Travel SzN !! Wow 🤩 an excellent hike, amazing scenery on the trail and at the lake. Very good encounter with the Grizzly Bear 🐻 😎 , great painting too 🖼 👍. All the best , Don 🙋‍♂️

[@TravelSzN]

Thank you very much!

[@SergeCousineau]

WoW! What a beautiful place ! Just left you a message on our video that you commented. I was wondering when your next video was coming . Well it sure is a beautiful video . First love that little echo sound of your voice …did you ad it on ? I can imagine that you were a bit nervous about that Bear and you had your bear spray all the way back …🤣🤪 Both pictures of you at the lake are awesome 🤩 That rock wall was huge and all around the Iceberg lake 😳 How long did it take you back and forth? Thanks for sharing such beautiful places and well explained video . I hope to visit Glacier National park one day because it was close when we passed in 2018 because of forest fires 🔥😢 Maybe next year if the borders open and that the COVID is behind. Have a wonderful upcoming weekend both of you Serge H👩‍❤️‍👨🌈🇨🇦

[@TravelSzN]

Thank you Serge and Helene! It was a great hike! That echo was in there by accident (I was recording from an art gallery that has big ceilings and stone floors) but glad you liked that sound! Yep we held that bear spray allll the way back. lol. I think this hike took us about 4.5 hours! Have a great rest of your week!

[@SergeCousineau]

@@TravelSzN Welcome and thanks 😉👍

[@reelhappytravellers2691]

Wow, looking beautiful pal. Your video is truly irresistible!!!!

[@MayMirandaOfficial]

What an amazing place. I would love to hike there someday thank u for sharing friend. Will definitely include this in our list someday

[@TravelSzN]

thank you, glad you liked this nature video!

[@coastskyadventures2752]

I hope I can hike this in late July. With the late snow, I am a little worried I may not. But I still have hope. Your painting is really really good. It's beautiful.

[@TravelSzN]

thanks very much! It looks like Glacier had a lot of snow this year! I hope you can do the hike as well!

[@ashleylucas-hemphill3689]

We hiked here last Saturday and it was one of my favorite hikes in the park..We saw our first Grizzly and saw a Moose taking a bath :) We just moved to Missoula, so we are always coming to GNP on the weekends lol. I want to do Grinnell next! Thank you for the video!

[@TravelSzN]

That is awesome! Great sightings! Glad you had a great hike :)

[@BeforeIKicktheBucket1]

Awesome perfect views of the nature 😍 Many thanks for touring us, Hugs and blessings 🌹

[@TravelSzN]

Thanks for visiting!

[@hdi4eva-castlesbydrone531]

Wonderful hiking trail and magnificent views of the surroundings. 👏🤘 The Iceberg Lake is such a stunning place. Thanks for the great explanation why the water looks so blue to us. Your painting of the lake looks absolutely amazing, Stoof. And I think you guys stayed pretty calm when you saw the grizzly bear. You never know what's going to happen and you are better prepared (like Nate, instantly grabbing the pepper spray 😉). Another great video production, my dear friends. 👍👌All best wishes, Michael.

[@TravelSzN]

thank you Michael! glad you enjoyed this, have an awesome week!

Thank you so much Jackie!

Just scored a permit for a 4 day trip with Iceberg as the end piece, SO pumped!!!!!

[@TravelSzN]

woohoo!! have an awesome time and be safe! :D

[@travel_nature_and_life]

so nice to see the reflection of the pine trees in the lake. And the colour of the water in the lake is absolutely fascinating. On the other hand, even if it’s a bit magical, I think I would have been afraid that the bear would come to see me closer. 🧡

[@TravelSzN]

thanks very much! glad you liked the video!

[@NicoleHikesalot]

We love this hike. It's so beautiful. Lots of grizzlies in the area. I get scared running into them. I'm so glad this guy left you alone. We had a bad experience with a black bear in Michigan. The color is awesome. Thank you for explaining about the water. Gorgeous hike.

[@TravelSzN]

thank you Nicole! Glad you enjoyed this! I hope you and the bear weren't injured by the bear incident in Michigan!

[@NicoleHikesalot]

@@TravelSzN thankfully no. He sat on our bear canisters all night long...so we had to ask others for some dinner. Then, after not sleeping all night, we hiked out early. He was gone in the morning... So we were able to get our bear canisters.

[@countrycrawlers4713]

Wow, wow, wow! Gorgeous! Incredible beauty! I want to visit this place!!! Thumbs up!

Great hike to this stunning lake! Thank you for sharing these informations! Like from Switzerland!

Thanks for watching!

[@blendedtravels]

Love Glacier National Park and I have been there many times, but I have not hiked to Iceberg Lake! And you definitely need to keep watch for grizzlies, I have seen a some there as well. I think in the later summer, they like to look for huckleberries. Great job explaining the hike and your painting is beautiful! Looking forward to more of your videos. Take care!

[@TravelSzN]

thank you!

This is a stunning park The stillness of the lake made a perfect reflection If memory serves me right I believe this is your second sighting of a Griz A beautiful creature Your painting is as beautiful as the scene itself !! 👍👍

[@TravelSzN]

thanks very much Connie! This is the same encounter I mentioned in the video before this one, just went into more detail in this video :) have a great rest of your weekend!

Thank you! Cheers!

[@stepsforthesoul]

An Amazing lake! So thats what it looks like without rain and clouds. Nice video!

[@TravelSzN]

aw man! We had a cloudy day when we hiked to Grinnell Glacier, but a sunny day for Iceberg Lake. A clear sky really. makes a difference in showing that turquoise water!

[@stepsforthesoul]

@@TravelSzN my days were vice versa. I had sunny day at Grinnell. Cant win em all though. But Glacier is truly incredible. Rain or sun....

Perfect! Congratulations for the excellent content, and to return the kindness, What a beautiful green water, and the bear then, and the squirrel are beautiful., a hug from Antonio, the Canal, our City, Águas Belas Pernambuco and Brazil.

thank you!

[@geo.xtr-relax]

Nice, keep going like that 👍

[@Soffball]

Great video! We just did that hike a few days ago and got some great footage. I'm worried about posting it though because of the whole national park filming permit thing. Did you need to get that?

[@TravelSzN]

I would recommend speaking with an attorney if you are concerned about that. To my understanding, it is ok to post national park pictures and video if you are simply posting your personal vacation footage from an iphone or simple hand-held device, without creating the video with the intent for commercial use. If your channel is monetized, do not vlog about/explain your monetization or earnings on content filmed in national parks. If you were visiting a national park with the intent for commercial filming, you would need to have a permit to film. This is what I understand from seeing other vloggers talk about it/handle their own lawsuits so I can't offer true legal advice for you.

[@ParksandPlacesOnline]

That was one of the hikes we hoped to do this summer but a dental emergency caused us to abandon our plans to Glacier. Maybe next year. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@TravelSzN]

aw bummer! sorry you didn't get out there this year, yes hopefully next year! It is an amazing park! thanks for watching guys!

[@CeritaMrZank]

nice

[@cyndijohnson5473]

You DO need a reservation for that road now, in 2023

[@TravelSzN]

Thanks for that info! You are right- to anyone else reading this, here is a link to reservation info for the 2023 season! www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/vehicle-reservations.htm

[@travelwhitenorth]

keep it up !

[@kennethteo592]

Hi great video! Thanks for being so informative. May I please know what time you started for this hike?

[@TravelSzN]

We started this hike around 8AM in August

[@judynoll7566]

I've been on that trail but didn't see a bear... 😞 It is a beautiful hike. I remember it being kind of a climb.

[@jerrystraka7856]

I've hiked the Iceberg/Ptarmigan trail a number of times... seen griz every time. every time.

[@jessicak4223]

Please let me know if you prefer this hike more or less than Grinnel Glacier Trail.

[@TravelSzN]

Great question! When we visited, I enjoyed Iceberg Lake hike more because it was less crowded and the sky was clearer when we did the hike. If we did the Grinnell Glacier hike on a day with less wildfire smoke in the air/on a clear sunny day, I believe I may have enjoyed that hike more. Both are great hikes, but Grinnell Glacier hike has a little more variety when it comes to the viewpoints/features you'll see along the hike. Have a great time in Glacier NP! :)
