We are the biggest fans of the National Parks. We try to visit as many as we can whenever we travel anywhere. There are so many cool things to see inside these parks. So many beautiful places and so much to learn!
Our boys have over 100 different junior ranger badges from National Parks, and other National Sites throughout Utah and the United States.
We also know that visiting a National Park requires some good information and planning, so we share all the details from our visit on these posts. We give tips and tricks, and all the things you need to know.
There are also specific posts about some of our favorite hikes in the national sites. This is to help you choose which trails are going to work for your family.

The Glacier Park Boat Company has been directing tours across Swiftcurrent and Josephine Lake for many years.

Tickets…
One of the most beautiful lakes that we visited in Glacier National Park was Grinnell Lake. It is tucked away in the mountains below a glacier, and the turquoise water is amazing. We rode the Many Glacier boat across Swiftcurrent Lake and Lake Josephine, which shaves 5 miles off this hike.…
Glacier National Park is a beautiful park in northern Montana. We spent 4 days exploring this amazing National Park and found lots of great family friendly hikes in Glacier. We have written details about all of our favorite hikes, so here is our list of Glacier Kid Hikes. These hikes are…
Virginia Falls is one of our favorite hikes in Glacier National Park. The short out-and-back trail passes two amazing waterfalls (three if you go to Baring Falls). The final waterfall allows you to stand right in the spray of glacial water dropping over fifty feet. Hike Info Rating: Moderate Distance: 3.6…
