West Glacier Montana - Scenic US HWY 2 - Waterfalls

[@ctruthtoday]

Those Mountains look very healthy compared to Yellowstone. Thanks Russ, great video as always.

[@amyrose103]

I was there last week all the way up to Sun road, enjoyed my vacation.. stayed in east Glacier NP beautiful.

[@rcwbud52]

I'm laid up right now. Your videos have been a big time gift for me. I appreciate you and them.

[@waynespyker5731]

The railroad building was at Summit......... the Connential Divide.

[@tennesseenana4838]

It's so very nice that you're doing all of the driving for us so we can sit back and enjoy the scenery instead of having to watch the road and traffic. THANK YOU!

[@Jumpingoffthecliff]

I’ve hopped freight trains on the high line and shot video along there! Love Montana, hard to beat it. West of Whitefish along the Kootenai is beautiful too.

[@johntilson2535]

That waterfall 8:20 is probably a sight to see in the springtime!

[@swhedge71]

THE BEST You-Tube channel EVER! Thank you Russ for taking us along for the ride! Enjoyed every minute of it! Safe travels my friend... Enjoy your well deserved time off. Anticipating your next videos! Cheers from Texas!

[@JETrent]

Hi Russ, my wife and I started watching your channel a couple months ago, just before you went to Oklahoma. We really appreciate all the work you put in sharing your travels. We'll be sure to hit your amazon links next time we buy something. Thanks again.

[@rvertv]

[@evelynlammel5680]

When we were up there they had not had any snow . The 1st night there we got 4ft. It was great sitting in a hot tub outside our cabin while it was snowing. All though it was very cold when Cathy and I got out her hair was frozen. Our husbands thought we were crazy. Both my husband and Cathy have passed. Those were good memories. Thank you for the trip to West Glacier. I heard the water fall it was wonderful.

[@ann40069]

You most definitely have to drive around part of Flathead lake....its so beautiful...I love the town of Polson...

[@pattysternjacob3713]

Ann Stearns I live in Polson. It is an awesome place to live.

[@parsons585]

God Jehovah's amazing creation! Visited west Glacier Park back in 2014 & absolutely my favorite place to see! Stunning!

[@GSDjrbites]

Having grown up in the NW Montana area...Its hard to convinve me that there is something more beautiful anywhere. The mountain creeks ...you can drink straight from them and fishing everywhere. Not even gonna bring up how great the hunting is there :) It was nice to ride along and see stuff I hadnt seen in maybe close to 30 yrs.

[@waynespyker5731]

The railroad bridge over the highway is Java on the railroad. Shortly thereafter you passed Sheep's Creek trestle on your left. A natural mineral salt deposit is under the RR bridge, mountain sheep and other wildlife gather for a treat. Many senic railroad postcard opportunities abound in the Marias Pass (content not given), please bunk in the Izaak Walton Inn at night.

[@1robertmkelly]

Glad to see you avoiding the crowds. We want you to stay healthy. I am really enjoying this summer video series. Thanks

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

The waterfalll was pretty and you didn’t mention that pretty yellow flower on the path to the Falls! The Flathead River was pretty too! The pine forest was pretty too! Thank you for the drone scenery!❤️😀🇺🇸

[@wendypederson243]

@1:34 Lewis and Clark National Forest...sign. Cool!

[@kenkoza873]

Thanks russ. That was awsome. Thank you for sharing. Love the drone pics

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! Beautiful "BLUE SKY"!!! Nice drive!!! Be Safe!!!

[@ronberquist1558]

I drove this the same summer 2020 in the opposite direction clear across Montana..... 686 miles... then all the way across Minnesota

[@doctorartphd6463]

Beautiful. Simply God's country for real.

[@fernandocastelo1679]

Sem fumaça, lindas paisagens, cores reais. A jornada continua = No fog, beautiful landscapes, true colours. The journey continues !

[@maryjbelle]

The drone footage of the mountains and train is stunning

[@mtnessler]

Love this drive! See you're wearing a jacket with your shorts! Don't be in too big of a hurry to head south! I hear it's 115 degrees in the shade in Quartsite! LOL Travel safe!

[@robertspecht1911]

Nice drive Russ. You need to take a fishing pole with you and test the water for use.

[@seriousearthling]

Just found your channel and I am so glad I did. Watched three of your videos back to back and it felt great. Thank you so much for taking us with you on your awesome adventures. Being stuck at home is miserable and your videos allows me to get a bit of "fresh air". Love the drone shots.

[@kevinp2820]

Good Morning Russ, Wow that's such a neat place. Hey don't be in a big hurry to get back to AZ. News just said this is going to be the hottest Labor Day Holiday ever, setting record temps every day. You are the way we are staying cool! Hee hee... I, for one, hope you get some snow video before you start heading home! Alrighty Then...See You Soon!

[@Julie-gr1nf]

Yeah!! Glad you didn't go by all those people!! Love the fresh air, must smell so good with all the pine trees!! Stay Safe!!

[@timhagens340]

Another beautiful drive! Was so good to see all of the beautiful “live” pines rather than the dead ones in Yellowstone. ❤️ Thanks!

[@danielc.2042]

I was on that route in September 2021 and there are a few riverside camp sites right off the road. I stayed at one and fly fished for a day.

[@connieowens7830]

My husband and I just found your channel and started our virtual vacation at Wolf Creek. Thanks so much for your great video and commentary. It’s great fun to watch you in almost real time. Love your van and drone.

[@dansebulsky4643]

I-60

[@rhondaplait9236]

Wow the color of the river was beautiful!! 🤗 What a relaxing and surprising ride. The waterfall was awesome and we could hear it. I'm with you... stay away from Covid County. Can't wait to see what direction you are planning. Take care. 💞

[@Resounded]

Hi Russ ! Nice road trip on HWY 2 .. Keep em coming.. Shotgun !! Stay happy and safe.. Talk soon..

[@danielblahuta3330]

My wife and I traveled hwy 2 many times and we always stopped at that waterfall. It is simply beautiful during spring run off! It is also amazing when it is frozen.

[@carolyncolinhogarth8732]

Big Wave Russ.....that hwy 2 one of the most beautiful rides that you ever will see in the Rockies, but that Valley is narrow and lots of switch backs later on down the road, but ever so so beautiful.....I still think Montana is hard to beat for beauty Russ, and boy Canada is hard to beat, as we have some beauty land here too, but I have to say, what a ride you are on....Thank you so much Russ for your ongoing share of this gorgeous virtual holiday for us all to share. We are watching and just enjoying so much...Carolyn and Colin Hogarth Osoyoos BC Canada....Big Wave from us...Take care and keep on trucking...Nice!

[@andriansyahlukman985]

I used to drive between Seattle and Milwaukee 6 years ago and the journey was taking either I-90 and Hwy 2. Too many scenic drives in Montana's rural area and so is North Dakota's

[@grantalbrecht4402]

Russ, you skipped Essex. Much to see there. Historic railroad hotel and more. Really worth a look. Enjoy your channel!

[@PanamaRose]

Russ the views on this video were outstanding! I loved that waterfall! Thank you for taking the time to go up to film it! Safe travels. We love your videos!

[@MaxZomboni]

Great views. I have never driven that section of US-2. I always drove through the park. The traffic used to be a lot faster. 20 years ago there was no speed limit on highway 2.

[@fredd3243]

Thanks Russ, Your videos are needed right now. They are a good escape.

[@peterparker9057]

Beautiful scenery 👌 thanks for the hard work. 😊😊

[@scottg391]

Russ you are the best. I’m so glad I saw your van a few years back in 29 palms. You are a gem with the comments and your quirky laugh. It’s like sitting next to you on the ride. I’d like to buy you a nice meal at the boathouse in Meadview when you get back.

[@kebbenmilliman4206]

Thanks Russ. Beautiful country.

[@rondickson7906]

Hey Russ,weather forecast for western Montana,up to 6” of snow and much cooler ,FYI. Great videos 👍🏻

[@darlinpretty9657]

“Silver Stairs”..the waterfall, it is gorgeous in the spring, with the run off. Then freezes into ‘silver stairs’ in the winter ❄️ The Rafters peacefully floating down the Flathead, in the late spring/early summer, that’s a white knuckle white rapid ride 😆

[@lilitincher4973]

Vegas is full of smoke and Montana and Wyoming get snow today. Hope you miss them both. Happy trails!

[@richardross3172]

Maybe check out Polebridge while you are in the area?

[@timborgenheimer269]

The road to polebridge is not good.

[@danielmoreno5686]

Nice place to look for nuggets

[@bobevansIW]

More great scenery in Montana. Being here in the UK we don't hear much about that State, so thank you Russ, enjoy your couple of days off ;-)

[@shirleyjordan6340]

Nice ride. I enjoyed it. Thanks! Be Safe!

[@joelewis4275]

Hope you are getting as much enjoyment from your trip as you are giving us.

[@mr.cardguy7635]

I have this in my list of stops. Called staircase waterfall. I am going first week of June and should be a lot of snow melt going on which will make waterfall look even more spectacular

[@johneason6540]

Fantastic drone footage, really makes a difference.

[@leevannostrand1799]

Hey Russ, we are in Custer Montana. We are heading to North Dakota. We enjoy following you. We will head to Glacier next year.

[@davidbrickey5925]

Enjoy the drive today Russ. Lotta cool videos. Enjoy your journey. but most of all be safe.👍☕️🍀

[@gregprince2523]

Russ, love the views, hoping soon to get out there

[@killsalive1]

17:22, you mentioned snow. Up on the mountainside there is a "snowshed" over the tracks. There are lots of them in this area. Designed to keep avalanches away from the rails

[@waynespyker5731]

Never there in the summer, always in the winter with snow. Fly into Spokane and drive to Browning but stay in Essex at the Izaak Walton Inn.

[@robertjean659]

Thanks for another great drive. Enjoy your down time.

[@Lynne76]

Once again, Beautiful, the train seemed never-ending but the waterfall was brilliant, I enjoy the aerial views with your drone, Thank you for letting me tag along. 😊

[@terrybrowning3542]

Hey Russ, you drove right by my house. Live in Kalispell. It has been hot up here this summer though. See you in Quartzite this fall and winter. Take care. Wish I'd run into you around town, lol.

[@danielc.2042]

That bridge you walked up to, if you take that road under the bridge is is some dispersed camp sites there.

[@richardrichardson515]

[@mattanderson6336]

A nice place to have stopped would have been at the Isaac Walton Inn at Essex. Stay overnight in a caboose.

[@jennifergregory4310]

Hi Russ. Great video as always! I noticed that you were driving along the Flathead River. As you start to head south, consider going by Flathead Lake (which the river flows into). Flathead Lake is the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. The scenery is beautiful! After taking my family through Glacier National Park about 12 years ago, we drove south along the western side of Flathead Lake. We loved it!

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Beautiful scenery Russ! I totally get it why you didn't want to deal with Glacier National Park. It would have been a zoo. Forget it. Safe travels Man! Looking forward to your next video.

[@thecritterandthebutterfly]

Nice route. Thanks for taking us along. Safe travels.

[@Wren-mp6io]

You should drive from kalispell to polson by flathead lake. It is beautiful!

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Bet that hiker has Tom Sawyer (Rush) on his earbuds! Wonder if Canada's side is open or closed?

[@conniechamberlain1259]

Thank you,your a great tour guide

[@mtkids3558]

Russ, You've been following the Rocky Mountains from south west to north west. Great name for this venture would be Rocky Mountain High.... and getting higher, love, love, love these Mountains. Glad you're loving them too. Mt Kids

[@tennmark2591]

Keep an eye on the sky. Early winter storm is expected for your area starting Labor Day afternoon. Up to 2" per hour snowfall expected. Take care, run south.

[@michaelwebb57]

Another awesome video! The drone shots are icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing! Safe travels!

[@janohare916]

Nice! Thanks Russ! Hope you have a fun and relaxing break, see you in a few days.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

This was really nice.

[@robertross2596]

Hello Russ! I just discovered this video & really enjoyed your efforts. In 2009 I visited Glacier NP & loved it. I stayed in East Glacier at a motel with a couple of restaurants & a bakery across the street (Yea - Huckleberry pie!). I especially liked the Two Medicine Lakes area which had great hiking and vistas. I believe that lake you showed near East Glacier was Lower Medicine Lake. I appreciate your photography and commentary. Consider me a fan. Bob Ross from Easton Pa.

[@rvertv]

thank you

[@ace404108]

russ watch the weather coming in next week calls for snow in some higher parts

[@newwomyn]

Those tracks you are seeing is the BNSF Northern Transcon and the Hi-Line Subdivision. It runs from Havre Montana from the Milk River Subdivision from the east, to Whitefish Montana where it converges onto the Kootenai River Subdivision. Amtrak's Empire Builder runs these subs, and runs between Chicago to Spokane where the train will split. Cars will go to Seattle on the northern leg of the route, and to Portland on the southern end of the route.

[@waynespyker5731]

My first trip to Marias Pass was in February 1998 on Amtrak from Lancaster, Pa staying at the Izaak Walton Inn. Subsequent winter visits are flying into Spokane and following the Funnel into Montana. Many photogenic shots abound around each corner from Browning to Whitefish or from Spokane to Browning.

[@newwomyn]

@@waynespyker5731 Yeah, you get a nice little surprise around every corner on the BNSF Northern Transcon. It is an amazing way to travel the country.

[@tomshively5419]

Some way out gorgeous mountain drive!

[@douglansburg4545]

Just drove that section of rt 2 going the opposite direction, very nice .Drove the rd to the sun in Glacier it was a zoo

[@SteveP_2426]

Soooo glad I did my big US 'vacation' last year - First time I'd ever been to Glacier NP and it was epic. The Going to the Sun Road frightened my wife so much she wouldn't do it more than once as we moved from East Glacier to West Glacier but I loved every Km of it. Visited Az too last year - no where near as hot as this year I gather which is just as well as us Brits rarely see 30C and generally never more than 34C!

[@sandyhyatt1052]

Glacier Nat Park is right on the other side of the tracks all the way to West Glacier....You can enter the park thru West Glacier....Nothing on East side cuz u are on the Reservation.....Surprize U were inside the park for just a Little bit.... I live on Hwy 2 about another 50-60 miles 🤗🌻👍

[@billgreer870]

And where the Snake meets the Flathead is a cool spot

[@sandratessem9980]

WOW!!! Safe travels. 111 degrees in Arizona today. Love Kalispell.

[@johneason6540]

I'm now planning a trip to glacier, entering west gate. I was looking at hwy 2 for my exit and return to CA.

[@johne.stinson9759]

Thoroughly enjoying viewing your travels while working abroad in Abu Dhabi, UAE...!!

[@MSDOGS1976]

Nice trip. Never made it to MT but plan to one day. A couple of years ago I drove to Southern Utah and explored some of the National Parks there and spent a few days in Colorado. A very enjoyable trip. Once this pandemic is under control I want to take a trip through MT and the Pacific NW. Plan to devote a month for the journey as I'm from MS. Keep the videos coming as this is a great way to get some ideas of places to visit.

[@jasonl721]

Hey Russ, been enjoying your tour. You are very close to The National Bison Range and you might enjoy it. I went thru last year around Labor Day and saw lots of animals including Bear, Elk, Deer, Antelope and lots of Buffalo. Might be worth seeing, you can contact them to see if you want to drive thru it in the van. I'd suggest an late afternoon/evening as that's when the animals come out.

[@scposter1]

Big snow storm coming to Rocky Mountains.

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

love the drone shots.

[@greatwhite59]

thanks

[@charlesp3764]

Thanks for a great video. I have been following your path on google maps. Excellent choice of roads as I am saving places to go to. Thanks Russ.

[@douglasjarvis2508]

Russ, great to travel with you

[@kevin-flood]

Visitation to Glacier National Park is down 48.4 % so far in 2020. If EVER...if EVER you were to go to Glacier in the summer, THIS is the year !!! I don't understand how you can be so close to one of the most spectacular parks that we have and not visit it. Beautiful drive though. Stay safe :)

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

Hey, Russ. Just realized that the rail line you're shadowing is the old Great Northern Railway. Today, Amtrak provides passenger service along the route via the "Empire Builder": must be one heck of a view from those trains. Enjoy the holiday weekend, get some relaxation.

[@LadyMarie880]

HELLO Russ, people who have never set foot out of the city are out there thicker then flees on a dog's back. They haven't seen river or lakes close to there own back yard until this year. Hahaha. Like I didn't think we had trees this big, really were have you been Crazy Russ. There are people in parks I have never see in the park before. Yup so go to town Russ with mask no one is there. Hahaha have fun 👍 😄

[@kevin-flood]

yep, go all the way to frckn Montana and drive right by the most beautiful national park in the country !!! smh

[@awats72752]

After labor day a lot better time the frowds are way down then.

[@johnlasley8873]

Hey Russ! I'm just south of you in plains Mt! Beautiful here,!! Would love to meet you.

[@bellaexploreslife2028]

Gorgeous drone view 💕
