National Parks hold a special place in my heart. I want to go to all American National Parks before I die. I have seen my fair share to date. A few summers ago now I traveled to Colorado to drive through some of the ones I have not seen. I started in Rocky Mountain National park, went to the Tetons, then Yellowstone. At this point one would think I would be saturated with mountains, rivers, and vistas. What awaited me at Glacier National Park is beyond belief. I had never seen vistas more intensely beautiful. For a park that is covered in snow the majority of the year it was full of life. Every single turn in the road looked like something I could only have dreamed of. It was by far, the most beautiful place I have ever been. Words can not describe the majesty of what awaited me when I arrived. Mountains rose before you, close enough you would think they are only a few hundred feet away, but you could see the base and the peaks at the same time. The mountains filled with emerald green grass and snow at the same time. Forests with lichens and moss scattered wherever the sun would hit.

This photo was the very first place I stopped inside the park. The sign was right behind me. To me, this park defines Why we need to keep these places preserved. Even with millions of tourists each year I felt I was alone, looking at these wild landscapes, clean and untouched by any human.
