DragonFlyerDaze+Followhiking glacier national park: is it worth the crowds?We finally made it to Glacier National Park after hearing everyone rave about its beauty for years. The drive through Montana was long, but the mountains and lakes really are something else—those blue-green waters look unreal! But here’s the thing: we spent almost an hour just trying to find a parking spot at Logan Pass, and by the time we hit the trail, it felt like we were in a parade, not a hike. Every viewpoint was packed with people taking selfies, and honestly, it took away from the peaceful nature experience I was hoping for. I get that it’s a popular spot, but is there a way to actually enjoy Glacier without feeling like you’re at a theme park? Has anyone found quieter trails or hidden spots that aren’t swamped with tourists? Or is the whole park just crowded now, no matter when you go? I’m starting to wonder if these famous parks are more hype than relaxation. I’d love to hear if anyone else has had better luck, or if this is just the new normal for national parks. #GlacierNationalPark #Montana #TravelQuestions #Travel20Share
Kevin Nicholson+Follow80-Foot Snow Drifts? Plows vs. Glacier ParkCan you imagine having to plow through snow drifts as tall as an 8-story building? That’s what crews are up against on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. The Big Drift can stack up to 100 feet of snow thanks to wild winds, and it can take a month just to clear one mile! They’re hoping to open the road earlier this year, but there’s still avalanche debris, boulders, and busted guardrails to fix. Road trip, anyone? #GlacierNationalPark #SnowDrifts #GoingToTheSunRoad #Montana #TravelNews #Transportation00Share
