The parks are always a great experience but you've gotta get the kids into new and different experiences. When I was teaching and traveling 100,000 miles a year I saw stuff I never expected to see. It really expanded my world view. I even got inside the Kremlin Wall on one trip.

Sure if you like Glaciers. I prefer fake pirates. I am sorry to admit that nature does not draw me in any direction other than away. I guess I just like make believe more than reality. :D:

Glacier National Park has three historic lodges. My first thoughts when I saw Glacier Park Lodge "Hmmm, this is neat but Disney did a better job." I am terrible. Just terrible. Those were real wood beams. Everything was real, similar to the Wilderness Lodge, but smaller, less grand.

This is the inside of Glacier Park Lodge, built in 1913.
View from the exterior.

Those are real wood beams. They have been resectioned in areas to allow for wiring, etc.

yeah it's a shame but they have to do it this way because of the freaks that go there. lots of people would love to give a princess the barking squirts.
so the policy protects them all. both from good and bad. why not give the president a gift? maybe a nice chocolate gun. but he is really busy, so you would have to take it out of the box and unwrap it. and when you see him, just run up to him as fast as you can go and hand it to him. ok?
