This trip took place before all the fires that destroyed such a peaceful area in Glacier National Park. I went on a road trip with my parents and their dog, and we talked about going to this great National Park. It was finally decided, and no one would feel bad about it. Without a doubt, the views from this spot were beautiful in every direction.

The view got more beautiful as we got closer. Mostly the mountains, which blocked our view and had snow on top of many of them. We got through the gate, and then our adventures began! We could hear the sound of water as we drove through, and as we got closer, the sound got louder. After driving for a while, we pulled over to see a huge waterfall that took our breath away. We thought we might have been taken back in time. The land didn’t know anything about people or society.

The Views at Glacier National Park

We spent approximately two days exploring the west and east glaciers in order to see as much of them as we could. An avalanche of snow caused one of the paths to be closed off altogether. During the month of May, which was the time that we went on this road trip, I suppose that is something that happens on a regular basis.

The next challenge we faced was getting to the Canadian side of the border. The national park known as Glacier-Waterton. We had to check in once we arrived at the border after driving up there. The ranger inquired as to whether or not we possessed documents that would have given my parents’ dog rabies certification, but we did not.

After taking a look at the small dog, the woman employed by the border patrol said, “Well, he’s not foaming from the mouth, you guys can go ahead and proceed.”I was told that they check people’s records to make sure they have not been convicted of driving under the influence, but they never checked our records! It was granted permission for me to enter Canada!

Glacier National Park Canadian Side

A further enhancement of the breathtaking beauty could be seen on the Canadian side. First of all, the roads were in excellent condition. In contrast to the winding roller coaster drive that is found in Montana. On the peak of a mountain, there was a hotel that had a long history and looked out over a lake. At a distance, it appeared to be something that had been taken from a fairy tale. This trip was full of waterfalls and had a serene atmosphere throughout its entirety.

I really think you should go to the Canadian side. There is no better place to see beauty. There is also a lot of nature around. There are a lot of hiking trails and other outdoor activities to choose from. These are some tips I have for Glacier National Park.

Glacier National Park Tips: Animals Come to Life

A lot of animals came to life as the sun started to go down. Life will come out of the ground when the sun starts to go down. We could see mountain goats climbing up high on a steep mountain. Rams walked right by us, and deer ran along the edge of a tourist town. We could see a moose lying down in the tall grass a long way away. Wildlife is most often seen as the sun starts to go down.

My mom saw something as we were leaving! A brown bear was looking for fish in the water across the lake. A family stopped to give it a better look, and they were kind enough to let us look through their camera. It was great!
