I wish I had an entire year to explore Glacier National Park's backcountry. It's an area I highly recommend visiting to get away from the crowds and experience Glacier in a way not many people get to. While planning our backpacking trip, I read a LOT of websites and clicked (and clicked, and...

I have worked in Yellowstone, hiked the Teton Crest Trail in Wyoming and backpacked numerous others. While those parks have a big part of my heart, Glacier owns it. There is no park, in my mind, that has a more dramatic backcountry than Glacier. Iceberg Lake, Grinnell Glacier and so many other tr...

We spent five days and six nights exploring Glacier National Park and as beautiful as the park looks in pictures, photos just simply cannot do GNP justice. It is breathtaking. I can only imagine it's grandeur years ago with 200+ glaciers, rushing waterfalls and lush vegetation. I'll be honest, I ...

If you have seen my photography, you can probably notice one thing. I don’t have a single picture posted taken during a clear cloudless sunny day. There are always clouds. I love me some dramatic, moody, and often wet weather. I even have a bumper sticker on my car that reads “I brake for intere...

Montana is about as wild as it gets in the continental U.S. and nowhere shows off the state's staggering beauty more than Glacier National Park. From the top of the rocky peaks, down the glacier-carved canyons to the unbelievably blue waters below, this park has no shortage of gorgeous views. Loo...

With over a million acres of pristine wilderness home to hundreds of species of animals, Glacier National Park is about as close as you can get to how the continent looked before western expansion at the turn of the century. There are so many ways to take advantage of this beautiful landscape thi...

When I went to Yosemite, I didn't reallyhave a plan of where I was going to go or what I was going to see butI did know one of my locations was going to be Glacier Point. I knewthat I wanted to photograph this iconic spot because of all thephotos that I've seen other people take, but my biggest c...

Without a doubt, Glacier Bay is one of the world's most spectacular destinations. Emerald green and topaz blue waters surrounded by glaciers cascading from towering mountain tops stretching straight into the sea. Bays filled with feeding whales, seals floating on icebergs, sea lions sunning thems...

Hiking in Glacier National Park's backcountry is an absolute treat with windswept passes, pristine lakes and dense lush forests all flanked by Glacier's rugged mountains. We chose to hike the North Circle route in the park, which is considered one of the world's top 10 hikes. It's an epic adventu...

At just over 13 million acres, Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve is the US's largest national park. It is so large, in fact, that it could fit Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Switzerland inside its boundary. If you have ever been to any of those locations you know they take up qui...

Put Glacier National Park at the top of your summer to-do list - the last remaining glaciers in this iconic American landscape may be gone before you get there if you wait much longer.Of the original estimated 150 glaciers in the park in 1850, only 25 remain - and those are meager in size compare...

While in college, I spent two summers working in Yellowstone. On weekends we would drive down to the Tetons. I couldn't imagine anything better than those two parks. After backpacking the Teton Crest Trail two summers ago, I finally decided that Tetons was my favorite national park. But after a r...
