We have completed the three big, we've never seen, national parks for the year. Glacier was a great way to end of this part of our summer travels. Termed "crown of the continent", this million+ park features amazing evidence of the power of uplift and ice on the earth's surface. These towering mountains were cut deeply by thousand...
