We just brought along a 80 year old young spirit along one of our hikes "Roman Nose Idaho," and was quite impressed that with his many years of hard labor (miner) followed by many years of retirement but keeping active; his ability to still keep a descent pace. He was a mountaineer for most of his life, but was always mission oriented instead of enjoying current locations along the way. The latter tends to be our channel's theme. It is also motivating knowing people of all ages enjoy these video channels. Mine is still growing > 2000 subscribers, but seeing the growth is motivation to keep making videos.

@chadroberts44 Год назад

Funny thing about black bears, and this happens a lot here where I live in the Tetons, they will just stuff their faces with huckleberries and not pay any attention to whoever is on the trail, even if its a sow with cubs. During huckleberry season there are a lot of bear sightings but practically zero altercations. The huckleberries are the first and foremost most important item on the to do list. Many of us locals have secret places in the forest where we go to collect huckleberries. In our minds, our spot is the best. Its not uncommon to hear of stories where a person started picking huckleberries at a bush and lo and behold a black bear is on the other side of the bush eating the berries at the same time. I had a friend just keep picking berries even with the bear there. He left a bunch on the bush before he moved away to keep the peace. Most people will just move to another spot, but not my friend, he is not the smartest in that category.

The way you have to hang your food from bears, where we have to look out only for mice 😅 And the views... wow.

Thanks for the vicarious experience with this hike, guys! This exact trek was on our hike list for a planned Glacier trip in August 2018. Unfortunately, my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in July of that year. Long story short but she’s in remission and we did get here in 2019 but she wasn’t yet strong enough to tackle this hike yet. And then this year (2022) the trail was closed due to grizzly activity. We’re both 66 years old so if we can’t get to this one in the next few years it may not happen. But we certainly enjoyed this through you guys. Thanks for having us along!

Thanks for the video. I have thousands of pictures from 35+ years of hiking/climbing/biking/rafting/fishing/camping and skiing Glacier. Over 6000 trail miles and summited peaks over 100 times. I did all i could while capable. A deteriorating lower back condition finally got the best of me. I'm retired in the Andes mountains of Ecuador. Appreciate the video. I have little video, but for snippets. Bear encounters are special. Climbing Siyeh is great place to catch them digging up moths. They flip 300lb rocks like they're slices of bread. Never had to deploy bear spray in all my encounters. Just give them room and speak in a calm low voice as you slowly move away. Worked every time Had mountain lion encounters on numerous occasions. Same thing. Remain calm, speak softly, let them leave the area - they will. Wolves and wolverines are spectacular! Found a wolverine den in 2002 and visited it for 5 years before they moved on. Curious, non-threatening creatures. Did the Dawson Pitamakan loop twice, from both ways. Long day trip. Hit it in August both times. Flowers in full bloom. Pitamakan pass is one of my favorite trail views in the park. I miss the Park. But time to move on with memories si vivid. Your video takes me back. Thank you.

What a magnificent episode. No one captures the essence of the wild landscape like these chaps. The reality of these National Parks is always different than one imagines them to be.

Fantastic! You made it to Glacier near my home! My daughter and I had a permit for that exact trip 3 years ago this past August. We went the same direction and stayed our first night at Old Man Lake. It was such a gorgeous hike! We were tired that last stretch too! The weather was nice until we got to camp, then we had intermittent rain. We got a break and ate our supper, then retreated to our tent for the rest of the night. It was cold but we had the right gear so stayed nice and warm. In the morning when I woke up, I looked up at the tent roof and saw a strange kaleidoscope pattern. I reached up and thumped the tent…whoosh came down snow! It was August 15th! I woke my daughter exclaiming “Sarah, it snowed!” Her response was”You’re shitting me?” 😂 We unzipped our tent to see a magical landscape of summer snow. It had snowed about 1-2 inches. We decided to have an easy morning, let the snow melt and backtrack the way we came. Then We were eating our breakfast and heard a pack of wolves down by the lake. At first we thought they were coyotes, then realized the deeper howls were distinctly wolves. After breakfast while filtering water, my daughter got a brief glimpse of one along the shore not far from us. What a great adventure. I hope to try that hike again and make it over Pitamakan and Dawson passes. Thank you for taking me up and around! Unbelievable that grizzly was on that trail but they do hunt mountain goats I hear.

@christsciple Год назад

Great episode! I'm from the area, my families ranch is close to Glacier. I'm mid 30's but I've seen about every animal and creature in the area and even roped black bears! Two terrifying encounters were 1) running into a bull elk during mating season. I was climbing a steep embankment and grabbing branches/rocks when suddenly I thought I heard something, looked up and bam! Giant elk staring right at me. Could feel the ground shake when he walked, and he gave a deep groan that instantly made me shake! 2) running into a bighorn sheep on a trail in Glacier. Was hiking with a sibling and rounded a corner and bam! There he was, just standing there staring at me. Again, my legs were shaking and I was terrified. Just stood there and slowly backed up. He actually walked right past me I could have reached out and grabbed him! Your channel was just recommended to me and I really enjoy it! I think something that differentiates you guys a lot and something I really like is how you discuss not just the park itself or the animals, but the plants/flora/fauna and even the rocks. It's so refreshing coming across a channel that has interest in the many dynamics and dimensions of our environment! If you all return to the area and want a good meal with some world class Piedmont beef or bison or just to do some extensive back country exploring with horses and mules just shoot me a message, would love to tag along for a bit!

The bush with big green leaves and little red clumps at 14:30ish are called thimble berries! The little red clump he described was actually the dried up berry itself it its late season. When they are fresh they look a lot like a raspberry and are extremely tasty and abundant! They are my favorite berry in the park and make for a great trail snack as your climbing to the peaks!

I'm presuming harvesting/preserving seeds from pine rust resistant trees, to aid in reforestation.

That is an absolutely awesome adventure. Those are parts of glacier I have never seen and oh my gosh so amazing. You guys are just fun for this 73yr Grandma. I'm never gonna be doing this and I still get to see all the beautiful scenery and how wonderful you guys operate together. Blessings and thank you from portland oregon.❤

I grew up just outside of Two Medicine, and now that I live in the South it was absolutely wonderful to see back home again after over 10 years. Thank you for such a wonderful video

griz!! lived near and hiked Glacier Park for 35+ years over 4000 trail miles. over 100 peak summits. over 2500 bike miles. 100's of nights camped, mostly in the back country (and trailheads) lots of griz sightings and encounters. never a problem. a pleasure, i'd say. mountain lions, wolverines (found a den and visited it for 5 years), wolves, black bears, and griz in abundance in the back country. both off trail and on trail. hike wisely. make noise. bring bear spray (never had to use it). don't run. speak calmly.

Beautiful. There is more than a lifetime of adventure in the United States!!!! Im so grateful for National Parks and Wilderness areas

@maskerade81 Год назад

I didn't think I would want to watch all of the 1 hour plus of your video, but the four of you are very entertaining to watch/talk. I also love the education of the different plant life and the terrain you've encountered. Thanks for the video.

Every Adventure Archives episode is beautifully made. Thank you guys! I enjoyed it a lot.

@lucyhogan8483 Год назад

This is my favorite adventure so far. After you spotted the grizzly, as you went on down the trail, I was wondering where you'd go for safety if you saw one on the steep trail, up on one side and straight down on the other. I enjoy Andrew identifying the plant life. I love the way y'all pass around the food and drinks. You make me want to go buy some freeze dried meals. Have fun for us all, we love you.

This video is incredible! Even with it being nearly 2 hours long, it was so captivating that the time seemed to fly by. Excellent job, guys! 👏 👏 👏

Wonderful episode! I especially enjoy the botany lessons along the way. I can't tell you how many times I've seen different plants along the trails and have wondered if they were edible. Good job guys..

@davesi56 Год назад

Wow! So many beautiful views and down to earth (no pun intended) young men and very well put together video. For those of us that can't do these type of things anymore because of age and bad knees I believe we have even a greater appreciation of your journey and the great video. Look forward to watching more! Thank you!!!

@lindat1148 3 месяца назад

Thanks for giving me joy and hope... to see such beauty! And, special strong spirits, please never stop with sharing your life loving appreciation of nature.

@davidengstrand2321 Год назад

Just found your channel and having been to Glacier a few times, enjoyed it immensely. That's the best video of Glacier I've watched. We didn't do that trail but many others including to Grinnell Glacier. Your attitude is awesome, thank you so much. My age and my wife having ALS, our traveling is over😢. So we are so happy to have folks like you take us there via videos. Recognizing some of the spots is priceless.

@lynneramsey3598 Год назад

Backpacking Glacier has been on my bucket list for decades. Thanks for taking me there in case I don’t make it. Love your vids!

@bentindle9036 Год назад

You must visit. From the north fork to two medicine, from the belly river to west Glacier, up to Logan Pass unsurpassed beauty.

I work seasonally in Glacier and found this to sate my appetite of missing it in the off season. Glad to see you guys enjoyed it so much. Dawson-Pitamakan is such a great loop. You guys are committed for lugging a tripod the whole way! By the way, I've also caught myself saying "I wish I could bottle this feeling up" during my time in the park. By the way, the tree that the bags were stapled to were probably white bark pine. The tree is threatened in Glacier due to beetle infestations and blister rust, which have been getting more aggressive due to effects of climate change. White bark pine nuts are an important source of food for the grizzlies. There are efforts to rehabilitate habitat with white bark pine seedlings in the park. I believe the bags are put on trees which seem to have a higher resistance to blister rust, so that the cones can be protected from animals but used to proliferate hardier trees in replanting efforts. It's an interesting push-and-pull since you sacrifice some of the food source to help with the longevity of the species.

On May 11, 1910, President William Taft signed a bill into law establishing Glacier National Park. The country's 10th national park, Montana's Glacier preserves 1 million acres of glacier-carved peaks and valleys, pristine turquoise lakes and streams, and dense ancient forests for all to enjoy. Thank God for this president !

One of my bucket list place to visit and hike is the Glacier NP. Thanks for the video and showing us what beautiful nature Montana has to offer.

@26jclay Год назад

That was a “beary” exciting episode! I was impressed by how calm you all stayed being so up close and personal with the wide variety of bears. That mac-n-cheese was very well deserved! Thank you for sharing another amazing adventure! 😊🐾

@3generations393 Год назад

😂 Watching y'all hike in such beautiful-awesome-amazing scenery braving grizzly bears & pointing out eatables was thrilling. Watching 4 grown men delight in a plate of Mac & cheese. Your respect for nature and expertise in filming & editing is admirable. Your creativity and love for family is refreshing. Y'all have this grandmas blessings-sendin love ❌⭕❌⭕ Your happy new subscriber Iris 👋 Thank you ❣️

@maggienancarrow9782 10 месяцев назад

Yaaasss I am so glad you discovered the thimbleberries--I thought that's what they were when you encountered them in minute 14, but I couldn't quite tell. They are incredible berries. They make awesome jam and are great on vanilla ice cream! I first encountered them on Lake Superior. Love your bear-sensibilities too! Great work on this one, guys.

@kerriwoodbyrne8166 Год назад

Glacier National Park has always been my favorite, and this video really does it justice. Great scenery, great editing, and you almost made it through an hour and a half without using the word "nostalgic." 😏 This goes to the top of my list of your videos. Thanks for taking us along❗

@timwolf5742 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful. I didn't want the video to end. The high country and fast moving mountain rivers have always been my favorite images. I showed it to my wife and said, as the tears were running down my face, that this was the best scenery I could imagine. And it made me sad to know that I would never be able to visit here myself because of my travel anxiety. And at 76 yrs of age I'm running out of time. Thank you for bringing this to me and allowing me to at least see this beautiful place.

Thanks so much for your comment, and we're glad our video can help you experience places like this. Even if you're afraid of traveling, there are lots of beautiful natural areas everywhere! We're based in Ohio and Indiana, and while we don't have incredible mountains, there are lots of peaceful forests full of wildflowers and streams :) Thanks so much for watching, and I hope you get to experience some amazing scenery no matter where you are
