  • This episode should be titled: Riding going to the sun road with no cars one and a half times and climbing mount Reynolds. It's a confusing time to adventure and this episode is a great example of the confusion that's out there. Doesn't mean you can't have an awesome time. It just means you have to be flexible and pack a lot of food.

    I made the video! I can be seen at 8:50 when Danny looks up to the gate and says, "we're thinking we will go back down." It's funny I saw these three guys running down the trail and I thought, who runs this trail in bike shorts and some kind of European mountain boot? It was an absolutely gorgeous day. I wish I would have know to hike up Mt Reynolds with these lunatics! Well done gentlemen.

    Lots of gorgeous things to look at. Glacier National is the perfect backdrop for your July adventure. Love how you can all so easily slip from running to biking. The rest of us can only look on in open-mouthed wonder and just marvel at your ability to make it all seem so easy while providing entertaining repartee; (I was not in any way influenced by a wonderful son-in-law or his incredibly handsome friends. Although I do have a trampoline frame that needs to be taken apart.)

    “GLACIER” it’s the park that lets you do it all, “Swim, Bike, Run, Climb, Ski or Board and of course “run for your life Bear and Sheep moments”. “ Utah to Banff” on a bike in the 70’s... that’s epic, Your Dad set the bar pretty high.

    sweet guys!! I just rode the Going to the Sun Road with my cycling friends July 5th. We ended up riding from Apgar Village because Avalanche parking lot was full already. It added some more epicness to the trip, as the beautiful ride along the river was smooth and flat and so pretty. 61 miles in that day. It was awesome! So glad I found this channel. I'm 48 and I love that comment about "if my 16 year old self knew what I was doing at my current age, he'd be pretty impressed...." i so agree! Age is just a number. Keep rocking it!

    This year in particular I have never seen so many tourists in glacier, I’ve only been able to go up twice this spring due to the overcrowding zoo there, we drove up one morning earlier this July an it was so packed we turned right the heck around and went somewhere else. Never seen it so packed.

Absolutely amazing ride, we had about 5 different stories from 5 different park employees on when and where the road was closed so you're right, their communication is horrible for pre-planning, and even traffic control was a mess once in the gate. We got up at 3am and drove from Polebridge do make sure we made it to the parking lot at Avalanche before it filled up which was a good call, had the place to ourselves in the morning....great video!
