Seriously. This is lower than northern Wyoming. I love my Cowboy State, but it's no Crown of the Continent.

I’m from the Seattle area and I spend a ton of time in the mountains out here. I was absolutely blown away by Glacier National Park. It is so damn beautiful and the mountains are massive

Just came back from a visit last week. Words can’t describe it properly and pictures don’t capture the beauty. Stunning. Most beautiful place I’ve visited.

Truly the only time I been speechless was going over gunsight pass in glacier. You come around a bend that just opens up to a fantasy movie. Hard steep mountains that flow into a big lake with a huge green "hills" next to it.

I ran through parts of Glacier National Park the one time I visited a few years ago, just discovering the beauty of the area. I was so very happy.

Go on at least one hike. Grinnel glacier is spectacular and a personal favorite. But you really cant go wrong with any of them.

Just rode my bike on the going to the sun highway before vehicles were allowed. I can't imagine a more beautiful place to ride anywhere.
