This article is a little different from my typical. I will be discussing the beautiful Glacier National Park as seen by my good friend Timm Martin.  Timm and Theresa hiked the trails of the park and  took absolutely stunning photographs.  The photos that I have included in this post come from their site and you should click through to them and enjoy.  The photo show is located here so please click through! I have “shrunk” the pictures on this site to fit the format so you really should go to the original images and enjoy the beauty. There are dozens of great pictures.  While you are there, check out Timm and Theresa’s pet project: the Little Wolf Reserve!

The park was designated as the 10th National Park by President Taft in 1910. The park encompasses  approximately 1.4 million acres of wilderness and some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in the western United States. The park is open year round, but due to it’s northern mountainous location, most people visit the park in the spring and summer. There are several lodges and inns located throughout the park but it is advised that you plan ahead since these will likely sell out weeks or months in advance.  Check out this site for lodging in surrounding towns as well.

If you enjoy the outdoors, want to do something off the beaten path and away from  commercialism then this is great spot for you to go. You don’t have to be avid hikers like our tour guides on this photo essay so plan your next family vacation where you can see the raw beauty of this world.
