    Never been to Glacier but as,at least on paper, the two Parks seem to be quite similar I would say no.

    Or if on the other hand may prescribed to the Emerson's adage that "Life is a journey,not a destination" in which case ,knock yourself out.
    We're thinking of doing Yoho as well now so I'm guessing we'll end up doing it a making some kind of loop. I see that Calgary is right there as well. Anything worth seeing there? I'll be looking up all these places further but, just asking.

    I'm planning to visit Aleutian Islands sometime. I found out that the indigenous population, the Unangans, still living in caves, which I find quite interesting.
    Old shit was here. Now it's gone.

    Nostalgia is funny like that.

    When are you planning on visiting? If in the winter then staying indoors and trying not to freeze to death would probably be the prime attraction.

    There's an Olympic Park were you can take a boblsled run with a pro which would be majorly,once in a lifetime cool and also majorly expensive.

    In the summer there's a World Heritage dinosaur park not too far away where the landscape is sort of otherworldly like around Grand Junction in Colorado if flatter.

    There's also a lot of cowboy-type stuff to do and cowboy type food to eat so an ex-pat Texan like you would probably feel right at home if you ignore the accents.

    I'd be happy to suggest stuff but to most people the Prairies are just a place to pass through on their way to BC so my hands-on knowledge is extremely limited.You'd probably be far better served Goggling or contacting their tourism board.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    I'm assuming because you see it as such a mid boggling evolutionary step up from under a rock.

    Thanks for that. Annual road trip is in August. The plan is to camp everywhere unless circumstances don't allow.

    If we were there in the winter, that bobsled ride looks pretty orsum, but $170? I bet they don't go top speed either, for safety and such.

    If I remember, I'll try to give a list of things we'll do as the time gets a bit closer.

    All I got was that idol told skiz to go to Colorado, where he's supposedly already been.

    That's an 11 hour drive from Calgary.

    Those are places we'll visit when we do the Northwest. At some point in the next couple of years we'd like to head for Yosemite, then head north through the Pacific NW and up into Vancouver and surrounding areas. Trying to convince the missus that a drive all the way to Denali NP is worth it, but we'll need at least 3 weeks to make it worth it.
