Crown of the Continent-

  Glacier National Park is hands down the most beautiful place I have ever been. Hands down. No argument. The mountains the lakes and rivers, the sky, everything in the area is breath taking. While in the park,we hiked Grinell Glacier where I saw two live grizzly bears. One was about 500 yards away at the top of the trail in a snow field. The other was a younger bear on a hill that the trail skirted the bottom of. I ended up within about 30 yds of him, but luckily he was not too interested in me so I snapped a couple bad pictures (below) and went on my way. A day later we summited Logans Pass. Climbing going to the sun road was incredible and riding down the back side was a thrill that i could feel even through the biting cold. I will defintiely come back to GNP the first chance I get.
