Glacier is of course kinda sad as the reckoning is there will be no glaciers left in the park in about 30 yrs! The scenery is spectacular, the wildlife is abundant. Geologically this place is very interesting, although I never really found a ranger who was hot on the details. However the rough details are from 2000 mn to 500 yrs ago this place was under water. The uplife of the rockies about 70 mn yrs back lead to this mile deep slab of sedimentary rock sliding north and then the glaciers came in recently and cut the spectacular scenery out of the sedimentary rock. The flights, despite what you see here took quite a heavy toll on the plane. The first day there were VERY high winds. The only time u could even think of flying were dusk and dawn. Even then the high winds and combined with the think air (its only 7000ft , but it still means the plane has to fly fast to get any stability, and without it, low speed turning you can forget about it. The plane just drops out of the sky. Even possible to tail spin it, something that's almost impossible to do with this plane!
