Glacier National Park, the Alps of America

It's really hard to put Montana's Glacier National Park into words. I spent most of my week there with a pen and notebook in hand a couple weeks ago, but found it hard to put into words how stupid-beautiful it was. And to think that years ago, it had many more times the number of glaciers that it has today.

Growing up in a farm in rural North Carolina and living in the West Coast's largest metropolitan areas the last few years, it's hard to believe something like this exists in the U.S.. But I think the beauty of Glacier National Park can be summed up in the words of a friend when scrolling through some of my photos recently, when they said, "Are those the Alps?"

There is much, much more coming your way on Montana in the coming weeks, but for now, let your eyes be dazzled by glaciers and bears and moose and European chalets and glacial lakes, oh my.
