19. Glacier National Park is magical.

It is also being overrun at the moment and you have to have a permit to be there. I can't even believe it...we used to be able to hop in the car and drive up to the park and just enjoy it. It is very different now and it makes me sad.

You camped in the park? You. Are. Brave. I don't think I would sleep a wink if I tent camped up there and I've live in bear country my whole life.

My kiddo did a solo flight up to Glacier and back just this morning. He said the air was calm and the views were insane.
