Top Things to See at Glacier National Park | 10K-mile Road Trip Vlog 47

[@Dwafiz]

The scale of this place is unmatched, in my experience. The vastness of the valley voids that were carved by ancient glaciers, the epic drama of the mountain monoliths profiled against the sky, the skewed canyon walls stretching miles into the distance, and the steep overlooks, lakes, and waterfalls thousands of feet above each other. It feels like the home of extinct giants.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Totally agree. And this is quite possibly the most poetic, well-written comment we've ever received. Thank you for stopping by and capturing your thoughts so beautifully. -Brian

[@Dwafiz]

@@PerfectLittlePlanet Happy to contribute! Thanks for the kind words. Excellent video too, though I bet the haze in the air was a bit of a bummer. I visited in September 2017 when there were active wildfires in the western half of the park, so I haven't seen a clear day there myself. The orange sky was a surreal addition to the magnificent landscape. I definitely want to visit again soon!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yes, the haze was unfortunate, but it also makes it easier to decide we need to go back so we can see it on a clear day. :)

[@NinetyOneAdventures]

I've heard parking can be a bear!! Beautiful scenery thanks for taking us along. We are planning a trip now. We'll be there in September🤗

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Fortunately for you, parking won't be as bad in September. The later you go in the season the better it is. Have fun!

thank you so much for this video- trying to plan a trip there next August and haven't found many videos on it. were you able to do all these hikes in the same day? and did you happen to see the halfway hotel in Essex (middle of the park) I can't find any videos about it. or any tips on were to stay close by (for cheap)

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yes, everything in this video was filmed on the same day: August 3, 2017. No, we didn't drive through Essex. We stayed at a friend's cabin in Echo Lake, which is the other direction from West Glacier. Good luck finding a cheap room, that area is so expensive! We got really lucky that our friend had something for us. -Brian

[@FloridaPete1948]

Yeah, some hard core hikers with tough feet hike all over the park. I wouldn't recommend it though. glaciergeezer.smugmug.com/Oberlin-Summit-Hike-August-9-2020/n-bRLSRV/

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yeah, hiking in sandals is not recommended. In my defense, I rarely where shoes and when I do, I often trip over myself, so there's a fair chance they would have been even more dangerous for me. :)

[@denisebrashears1552]

[@MrDschulz0]

We are headed there tomorrow, and will tour it the day after. We're in our 60's and not able to hike much in altitude, but will definitely do Going To the Sun. Back in 1979, I hiked Logan Pass to Granite Park Chalet. Saw grizzly, Heck of a great hike then when the glaciers were abundant. Nerve wracking hiking down through the berry jungle after seeing the griz... but scariest part was hitchhiking back to Logan Pass with a bunch of stoned hippies on that narrow road! I survived the seventies, tho. Thanks for the great video.

[@Natashasuzanne1]

That's a great story! We're headed there next week. Can't wait!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Haha, that was a great story. Hope this trip was a little less eventful - no bears on the trail or hitchhiking with hippies. :)

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

@Natashasuzanne1, how was your trip?

[@Tawnieandwayne]

We were looking for more details on beautiful places to visit in Montana and loved your video! We are so excited to try out these hikes. The flowers are so beautiful with the mountain background.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Totally! Glacier is magical. Hope you all have a great visit!

[@alyssacastelluccio]

Awesome vidoe. You mentioned an annual pass! what does that mean? Can you get into all national parks?

[@zhihaoling3324]

It’s $80 per year for all the national parks（except those like cave tour things）

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Hi Alyssa. Yes, you buy the annual pass for $80 (it's been the same price for years, but maybe it'll go up some day) and that gives you access to all National Parks, national forests, BLM lands, national wildlife refuges, and more. National Parks typically range from $25-$35 per car, so if you plan to visit 3 parks in a year, the annual pass is totally worth it. See more details on the NPS page: www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yeah, the pass really just covers entry and parking fees. Cave tours and other special exhibits are usually not included. Also, parking at Mount Rushmore wasn't included, which I thought was a little weird, but whatever.

[@chocolatized]

What are you using to record? I kind of want to get into VLOG myself

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yes! Vlogging is so much fun. We use a Canon G7X Mark II. We like it because it fits our style - it's compact enough to fit in your pocket when traveling, but powerful enough to shoot on fully manual mode, and it shoots really well in low-light situations, which we need since we film a lot at night. Think about what kind of content you'll be recording (inside/outside, day/night, landscapes/close-up, etc.) and look for a camera suits your needs. -Brian

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

We were there in early August, 2017. And sun point is not accessible by wheelchair. It's a short trail, but there's a fairly steep incline to get out to the point that wouldn't be passable on a wheelchair.

[@rodneyutley5787]

Don't worry if you hike to chalet and and to the loop. Just hop on the shuttle and it'll bring you back to Logan's Pass.

Great tip. Thanks!

Ups i can't go to Canada because I dnt have my green card but I will go visit the park

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

This park is partly in the US and partly in Canada (it's called Waterton Lakes National Park on the Canada side). So you can still visit no matter which side of the border you're on.

[@my2love755]

Wow a bear, I'd be scared.

We've spent a lot of time in Alaska, so we're pretty familiar with bears. As long as you don't see a mama bear with cubs, they're usually pretty chill and stay away from humans.

One of the top two or three best National Parks. Going to the Sun Road is a must. Boat tour of St. Mary’s Lake is recommended, too. Make time for lunch at the Many Glacier Hotel. Beautiful setting. Isa is really cute, by the way.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Wow, amazing place!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

We agree. It really took our breath away. And how it wasn't just one part of it that was pretty but the whole thing! So awesome. -Brian

[@kennethstarr5545]

I suggest Grinnell Glacier Trail if you are up for a hike. If you don’t want to hike the whole 12 miles plus there are boat rides where a ranger talks and if you schedule it there is a ranger led hike. The boat ride takes out 3 miles of the hike and another three if you ride back but you aren’t guaranteed a ride. On the easier side Trail of the Cedars to Avalanche Lake. BTW, get to the trailhead early and eat breakfast there. Most fill up by 730a. I get to trailheads by at least 7a. Just remember that bears and other animals are moving at dawn and dusk.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

These are some awesome suggestions. Thanks so much! We'll definitely check out these hikes next time we're in Glacier. -Brian

[@brandonb.5304]

Can't wait to see your Seattle video. I'm from the area so it'll be cool to witness what you choose to explore.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

We've been to Seattle a few times before and we actually have family in the area, so we've done a lot of the touristy things before (we have videos up from the Seattle underground tour, throwing fish at Pike Place, and Ballard Locks). We took it easy this time and just visited some local markets. What part of Seattle are you from? -Brian

[@brandonb.5304]

I'm going to have to search your channel for those Seattle vids. I'm from the Issaquah area, just east of Seattle. But thanks for documenting your adventures. I doubt I'll ever get to see half the places you and Isa have been, so it's cool to be able to vicariously experience them through your eyes. You do a great job of hosting and editing these videos. Kudos.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks so much, Brandon! We really appreciate the kind words.

[@pablol5472]

Did you drive Going to the Sun out and back? Maybe you can confirm if eastbound traffic is less busy at all times. Also, did you go in late september and found it so hard to park?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

We drove almost the entire Going to the Sun road, from West Glacier to St. Mary Lake and back. We didn't drive all the way to St. Mary. Since we've only been to Glacier once, I don't think we can confirm if one direction is _always_ less busy. On this trip, we actually found the westbound traffic was less busy. Also, we went on August 3. I just didn't upload until late September. -Brian

[@larryharman232]

you missed the really good spots, like Lost lake, Sun Rift Gorge, trail of the Ceders and avalanche gorge and avalanche lake which is a two mile walk

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

For sure. Glacier NP is huge and we only saw a few of the easy touristy places. There's so much more to explore and we can't wait to go back and spend some more time there. Thanks for the tips. We'll definitely check some of them out next time. -Brian

[@johnjohnson9110]

What direction are you driving? West to East?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yes, we stayed on the west side of Glacier, so we drove West to East in the morning and then came back West in the evening. St. Mary Lake was the farthest east we went.

[@LukeWatch]

The part at 0:20 is called The Devils Elbow for very good reason... I hiked it with a full pack and it was one of the most intense hikes I’ve ever completed

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Devils Elbow is a very fitting name for that portion of the trail. Did you hike the whole trail with a full pack?? That would be intense! -Brian

[@aidanjackson3885]

Going here this Spring on my first solo camping trip/vacation, any tips?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Check the Glacier NP site to see which campsites are open. I know a lot of them were shut down due to Covid, so you may not have a lot of options. Besides camping, the other tip we'd give you is to start early on your hikes - you'll be assured a parking spot at the trailheads. Have fun!

So glad you're loving the road trip! :) It's called the "America the Beautiful" annual pass.

[@jordanward9339]

what hotel did you guys stay at, is it possible to get to all the places you went to without a car? Does taking a shuttle restrict your freedom?

[@TrekkingPals]

From our experience I would say that getting a car is highly recommended. There might be road closure due to maintenance or wildlife activity and having a car will give you more flexibility should your plans change

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

@Jordan, there isn't a free shuttle to take you places like in some national parks. There are guided tours through the park, but they're all for a fee. If you're going to pay a fee anyway, you might as well get a car. Even if the tour goes all the places you want to go, you'll be on their time schedule. It's better to have the freedom to stay and linger in places you like more and spend less time in other places that aren't as interesting. -Brian

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

@trekking pals, I totally agree. There was some construction on one of the days we were there, and having our own car gave us the flexibility to plan around it.

[@todduyeda5929]

Did you drive the going to the sun road from east to west or west to east or both ways? Is one way better? Was it scary to drive?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

We drove west to east in the morning, but then we went back in the evening east to west. It's a little scary at times, and the cliff changes from the right side to the left, so it doesn't really matter which way you're driving. Just focus on the road and try not to look at all the scenery. :) -Brian

[@todduyeda5929]

@@PerfectLittlePlanet thanks for the info. I had read the east to west route (which we are thinking of doing in September) has less edge driving but it sounds like it's both directions.

[@jimk4367]

I was standing in the exact same place that you did😮😱😧

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Such a cool place to stand. Glacier has so many amazing viewpoints! -Brian

[@ashleysimkovitch5892]

Did you do all of this in one day? I'll be here soon and your tips were super helpful!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Hi Ashley. Yes, this entire video was shot in one day. We spent about 9 hours in the park. Hope you have a great trip! -Brian

[@ashleysimkovitch5892]

@@PerfectLittlePlanet Awesome, thank you!

[@violonversi]

What pass are you referring to? Live the video! It's gorgeous up there!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

There's a pass to all National Parks called the "America the Beautiful" pass. It's $80 and you can get it on the nps.gov site: www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm

[@Cat-dw2bp]

Why am I watching this driving to glacier-

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

How was your trip?? Did you do anything we didn't include in the video?

[@alliepen]

Beautiful scenery!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Seriously so pretty up there! Thanks for watching! -Brian

[@Teacher2Polis2XtraRice]

You guys hike with no water?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

All the time. We forget it constantly.

[@ashleycarter113]

I was wondering what camera you used for this video?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Canon G7X Mark II

[@ohhshitimhere5162]

Beautiful couple you are, loved your video!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thank you so much!

[@lizmorris5721]

How was your wifi and cell coverage inside the park?

[@FloridaPete1948]

I live here and hike in the park all the time. Very limited WiFi at some of the hotels/motels on the edges of the park. Cell service is close to non existent in the park. Granite Park Chalet 7 miles out the High Line get cell service but it's not a 100% reliable.There is often cell service on the East side for a 3-4 miles up the GTTS road. The only carrier I've ever had luck with is Verizon Bottom line is use your phone for a camera. :)

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks Pete! That's a much more thorough and accurate answer than we could have come up with. I appreciate the help! -Brian

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Hi Liz, like Pete said, cell service is seriously limited, but GPS will still work in the Park. I highly recommend you download maps (we use Google Maps) for the area beforehand, so you can always see where you're at.

[@Alex-dh4zr]

Wow this video is super cool and I love this one!!! Just keep going

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thanks so much, Alex! We really appreciate the support. :) -Brian

[@Tim_Raths]

I might be going there next summer but not sure yet.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

We would definitely recommend it. Especially when the Going to the Sun Road is open. Be sure to check the dates in case of weather closures (even in summer!). -Isa

[@happypathtravel8135]

Fun video! We love Glacier!!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Thank you! :)

[@MontanaGMama]

My backyard!! Hiked these areas for years

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Lucky!! We loved exploring this area. It was so pretty. I would love to go back and spend a few weeks there hiking and exploring it even more - especially the areas off the main road. What are you favorite areas/trails?

[@daveshotgarage]

can’t wait to go

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Are you planning a trip soon?

[@daveshotgarage]

@@PerfectLittlePlanet yes :) haven’t been yet so don’t know what to expect, but i’ve been watching a bunch of videos and doing some research so I can do plenty of nice hikes while I’m up there while also being efficient with time, but most important finally picked up a cherokee for country road-trips !!

[@athiest4you]

now on my list to see.. reminds me of rocky mountain national park

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I've heard rocky mountain national park is incredible. We definitely have to get out there to explore it. -Brian

[@coolgrandma4952]

Both are worth the trip, but we thought Glacier was the best.

[@Sikdomeshot]

I would love to visit here

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I hope you get there some day, it's so much more amazing in real life. -Brian

[@sanjayghimire7695]

You have to be here to believe it. So so so pretty 😍

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Yeah, the video definitely doesn't do it justice. It's so incredible in person!

[@mlblair77]

Awesome, thanks guys!

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

Sure thing. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Happycamper1998]

What time on year were you there?

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

We were there on August 3rd.
