Glacier National ParkIf you want to see majestic beauty complemented by glacier fed streams and waterfalls that peacefully put you to sleep as you camp near them, then Glacier National Park is for you!
This is still the crown jewel of the National Park System as far as we are concerned (although we have yet to visit Yosemite).
Paul, Gabe and I went in at the Jackson Glacier Trailhead and backpacked about 7 miles (after a detour to a waterfall in which we bushwhacked most of the way) to Gunsight Lake where we camped for 2 days. On the second day we went up to the Gunsight Pass and took in the sights including a mountain goat that wanted to race us across the snowfields. Some of the snowfields looked unsafe due to melting so we backtracked back down to Gunsight Lake by late morning and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon exploring other areas.
