Glacier National Park Chat

I wasn't sure where to post this but my favorite Youtube adventure channel posted a video of riding the Going to the Sun road & climbing Reynolds Mt. Hope it's appropriate to post other peoples Youtube videos but the video is a lot of fun to watch and I think everyone here will enjoy it. I know I di...

For years I wasn't excited about visiting the Grand Canyon. I thought the views would be so vast that everything would blend together and look the same after a while. That wasn't the case at all. Every view was unique and in the canyon every turn lead to another impressive cliff face. The views neve...

Awesome pictures Pete. I really love the last two. The colors at sunset are amazing.

Thanks for the kind works Pete. Your to modest about you photography skills. I've seen your pictures, they're excellent.

Crossing the narrow section of Angels Landing: The picture is almost too much for me to see. Looks very scary. Very beautiful, all of them! Thanks for the compliments brindledog. Yeah I wouldn't recommend Angels Landing to anyone with a fear of heights. I saw one poor girl up there on her hands and...

Great pictures! Your Angels Landing picture is terrifying! I made it to the top, but doubt I'll ever do it again! I enjoyed the Observation Point hike much more. Capitol Reef is still on my list - I spent a week at Arches/Canyonlands, and a week at Zion/Bryce, but no time for CR yet. Looking forwar...

really FABulous Fotos! It is a beautiful area to hike. I've not done the Narrows but have done the Landing and some of the smaller hikes in that area. Your picture at the Narrows is really great; especially cuz of the water. Looking forward to hopefully seeing some of the other areas you photograph...

This is a continuation of my post about the Sand Dunes. After I left the Sand Dunes I went to Page AZ, Grand Canyon, Zion, Capitol Reef, and Arches National Parks. It was an amazing trip. I knocked off 4 bucket list hikes on this trip by doing Antelope Canyon, hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyo...

Thanks Jay! Glad you like the photos. I think you would have a lot of fun photographing the dunes. You can really get creative with the abstract shapes of the ripples and shadows. Here's a few more that I like. A selfie of my shadow or something like that. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/4921576...

Wow, really nice photographs. I'll need to add this to my places to visit in the coming years. Thanks for posting! Thanks Paul. If I get back there I'd like to camp out in the dunes. The park service issues 10 permits a day to do that. I talked to a couple of backpackers walking back from the dunes...

Nice photos! Did you have a favorite trail or viewpoint? Thanks! There is no trails in the dunes. You can wander around where ever you like looking for views or patterns in the sand. The further into the dunes that you walk, the less footprints you see. This makes for better photos. One other tip I...

I spent an afternoon at the sand dunes on my way to Arizona and Utah in Oct of 2018. What a great park for photography. Late afternoon to sunset is the best time to photograph the park. I liked the park so much I thought i'd post some of my photo's. Oh and one other thing. The tops of the dunes are ...

Very nice trip report! I was actually thinking of visiting this area for the past 3-4 years but it never worked out. I thought this would be a nice trip in the winter months to get away from the snow and cold of Wisconsin. When I saw you trip report I was excited to read it. Good pictures and write ...

I'm really enjoying your trip report Tibber. Now that's my type of beach, with views of mountains. Thanks for the write up. My first experience seeing a "service dog" in the parks was last fall at the Grand Canyon. I was riding a bus when two people tried to get on with a lap dog. The driver told th...
