TOP THINGS TO DO
We've spent our entire lives exploring and discovering these amazing areas, and our goal on this website is to share EVERYTHING we've learned with you, including what we strongly feel are the Top Things To Do in Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Parks, as well as the top state attractions for Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, South Dakota and North Dakota. Very few people have spent as much time in these areas as we have, and we are absolutely passionate about sharing this priceless information with you and your family!
Being Sixth Generation Montanans, these areas are a huge part of our lives. We've come to know these areas so well that we can tell you EXACTLY where you should go to maximize your enjoyment. You cannot find this information in a travel book or on a travel website, because sadly, much of the information you receive from these sources are coming from "experts" who have spent very little time in these areas, if any.

WHERE TO SEE ANIMALS
If you want to see animals, we know all the great spots to see Grizzly Bears, Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Moose, Black Bear, Elk, Deer, Wolves, Antelope, Buffalo, and many other species that are found in these fantastic areas. It's hard to describe the thrill you'll experience when you actually see these animals in their natural habitat.
Throughout our 40+ years of exploring Glacier Park, Yellowstone Park and Grand Teton National Park, we have learned where you can go to see each specific species of animals. For example, if you want to see mountain goats, then we recommend you head up to Logan Pass along the Going To The Sun Road in Glacier Park. From there, there is a short hike that will take you to the Hidden Lake Overlook, where there is almost always mountain goats in the area. If you want to see wolves, a great place is the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone Park. If you want to see moose or elk during the fall mating season, then we recommend that you head for Grand Teton National Park. If you want to see moose in the summer, then you are almost guaranteed to see one or more moose in Fisher Cap Lake in Glacier Park.
The list is seemingly endless, and throughout this website, we are constantly giving our visitors tips on where to go to see specific species of animals, which is based on our many years of personal experience in Glacier Park, Yellowstone Park and Grand Teton National Park.

BAD ADVICE
We will frequently over-hear a conversation where a vacationer will ask someone for advice on where they should go for the day. Unfortunately, we quite often completely disagree with the advice these unsuspecting visitors receive.
Now these "advice givers" do not purposefully try to steer visitors in the wrong direction. Instead, they
simply don't have the PERSONAL EXPERIENCE and knowledge that we do because they haven't spent nearly as much time in these parks as we have. Or in other cases, they are instructed to remain "neutral" instead of giving the guest their honest opinion. Regardless of the reason, the bottom line is this: BAD ADVICE can ruin your vacation, and we don't want this to happen to you!

TOP STATE ATTRACTIONS
We have learned through the years that not only do visitors want to see the national parks, but they also want to see all the other fantastic attractions these great Western states have to offer.
We therefore feature all of the TOP THINGS to do in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, South Dakota and North Dakota. These five states offer so many incredible attractions, and we feature every single one of them on this site. For example, when you're driving between Glacier Park and Yellowstone Park, there are tons of things to see, such as Virginia City, Montana, which is the largest intact ghost town in America.

We will show you exactly where to go and what to do! And we are not only giving you our personal opinion based on our life-long experience, but we have also talked with and carefully listened to literally thousands of vacationers throughout the years, and we have learned what they loved about their vacation, and what they would have done differently if they could do it all over again. Our Goal is for you and your family to have the best vacation you've ever had in your entire life!

"FOR THE BENEFIT AND ENJOYMENT OF THE PEOPLE"
We sincerely feel that the creation of our national parks was one of the most brilliant ideas the United States has ever come up with. And Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Teton and the other incredible parks and state attractions we feature on this site are among the finest this country has to offer. We can assure you that once you visit these parks (and follow our advice), you and your family will never be the same, and your lives will be far richer because of it.
During the dedication of Yellowstone National Park's historic Roosevelt Arch in 1903, President Teddy Roosevelt stated that these national parks were created "FOR THE BENEFIT AND ENJOYMENT OF THE PEOPLE". These words are chiseled into this famous stone arch, which is located at the north entrance of Yellowstone at Gardiner, Montana.
These national parks and Western states are YOURS to explore and discover. Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and the many other parks and state attractions we feature on this site are among the greatest treasures in America, so get out there, and enjoy your parks!

These parks are not only wildlife refuges, but they are also "PEOPLE REFUGES". When you come to these parks, all of your worries and stresses will begin to melt away, and you can relax in the freedom and solitude these parks provide you.
We all know that life can get so hectic and busy that we find ourselves losing sight of what's truly important. These parks provide the "Great Escape" from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, so you can clear your mind and simply enjoy yourself in the most beautiful and fascinating places on earth. This will in turn help you to once again determine where you want to go in life and who you want to be. Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Grand Teton National Park have a "magic" to them, and this magic will forever change your life for the better.
