    Your photography is excellent per usual! 👌 I'd have a hard time choosing with just 3 days in Glacier. I've been six times, and hiked 72 miles over seven days in 2022 --including two summits-- and still have multiple bucket listers I've yet to check off (Gunsight Pass is near the top of my list). You'd need two weeks minimum to see and experience every incredible hike this park has to offer.
    I've been to Banff, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Grand Canyon, North Cascades, Mt. Rainier, Sequoia, Smoky Mountains, etc. All are special. None can top Glacier. It will always be my number one! 😍

      Wow! Even chose it over Banff, awesome haha we're lucky to have this park in our country then!

      @dr.dylan123 Most would rank Banff over Glacier. Banff is amazing, no doubt. I'm still a Glacier guy. And I've never done backcountry hiking in Glacier. Research Stoney Indian Pass, Cosley Lake, Margaret Lake... Brown Pass and Boulder Pass. 😍😲🤯 Mind blowing mountains!?! 🩵

      @@greatestshow99 Yeah, only mountains I've ever been to were all in Colorado, so I haven't been to any of those national parks you listed, but Glacier does look to be possibly the best from looking at photos and google earth. I will go to Glacier someday though, and I'm going to North Cascades next summer!

      ​@dr.dylan123 Nice on the Cascades! That park is in my top five in the U.S., along with Glacier, Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the Tetons. I would say the Cascades are the most unknown and underrated of all of the parks! If you're able and they're not already on your list, research Sahale Glacier/Cascade Pass (super strenuous but mind blowing) and Maple Pass. Enjoy!

      Some of my favorites! If we had better conditions at Iceberg Lake I might choose that over the Cracker Lake, but tough to say because we didn't have great conditions at either

    Mill Castle Trail looks like such a hiden gem! The rock formations are really unique, and the whole area between Gunnison and Crested Butte is just stunning. Beaver Ponds seems like a great spot too - definently adding these hikes to my list if I'm ever get to visit Colorado. Thanks for sharing! What a lovely video 😍

    Cool informative video. Still though, a trip to Glacier National Park without doing a summit like Mt. Siyeh would be a fail lol

    • @KevinEassa
      @KevinEassa  Месяц назад +1

      It’s on my list! I really want to climb Siyeh. Thanks for watching!

    What is “booking in advance”? I’m planning on going sometime this summer around the first week of June is that enough time? I know parks like sequoia and Yellowstone. Can take up to 8-12 months

  • @PaulChevalier-f2x
    @PaulChevalier-f2x 4 месяца назад

    gotta put that reservation in the video for going to the sun road I drove up there from Denver not knowing you needed one only to find out you have to reserve 2 days in advance and you can't buy there

    • @KevinEassa
      @KevinEassa  3 месяца назад

      So sorry to hear that. There are some loopholes like getting in the park early or non-peak times/locations. I should have added you're right

  • @charlieintampa6769
    @charlieintampa6769 5 месяцев назад +1

    Nice, but isn't there a timed reservation for going on the sun?

    • @coffeetruckco
      @coffeetruckco 5 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah for crowd control. But it opens up like 2 days before your intended arrival so you will be able to get in at your preferred time.

    • @KevinEassa
      @KevinEassa  5 месяцев назад

      Thanks! And yes, just needs some planning ahead of time, and it's worth noting that it's only for certain hours of the day

    • @KevinEassa
      @KevinEassa  5 месяцев назад

      For sure!

  • @Kratosordinson

    This national park is beautiful but since it has unpredictable weather patterns , tricky accommodations and closing off some roads discourages me to explore it since have never done camping in the wild

    • @KevinEassa
      @KevinEassa  5 месяцев назад

      Fair enough, the weather can definitely be tricky up here. Worth it though!

  • @michaelwooster8898

    How early should I arrive at Logan? Pass? Are shorts appropriate for early morning hikes or is it cool in the morning? Leaving next week for Glacier...

    • @KevinEassa
      @KevinEassa  5 месяцев назад

      It's so hard to say an exact time. When we did the highline trail, we parked at Logan Pass at like 415am and we were the first ones on the trail. I'd say before 8am you're probably good to find parking, but the earlier the better to be honest, plus you'll avoid the crowds. Also, I'm not an afternoon hiker, but I imagine the parking has open spots in the afternoon after the morning hikers have left. I wore shorts on the highline trail but it was during a heat wave. Check out mountain forecast for your hikes the night before, I hope this helps!

    Great video, but you forgot one crucially important and pain in the ass aspect, timed entry vehicle reservations.

    • @KevinEassa
      @KevinEassa  3 месяца назад

      Definitely, we have avoided this on our many trips here, but definitely a head ache during peak season and peak hours

      Ruined is a very strong word. Minor inconvenience. That hike is all about the destination! 🩵
