i really dont. that is too bourgeoisie for me. I worked at YNP Lodge, the blue collar area. Mostly bikers, RVers, and like minded folk. And marmots. Lots and lotd of marmots
Did you not ever actually walk around anywhere in the park?...jeez man the tour companies disgorge 5-7 bus loads of foreigners at a time every freaking day at several of the biggest spots like Old Fauthful-Grand Prismatic-Canyon overlooks-Norris-Lower and Upper Geyser Basins and Mammoth.
 
That third photo, wow. Thought Tetons were the pinnacle, but Glacier looking pretty phenomenal.
The Tetons are magnetic...you can't stop looking at them from anywhere you are in the 50 mile long valley. The dramatic rise of the Tetons from the wide flat valley and the beautifully jagged, yet almost perfectly somehow symmetrical ridgeline is just...magnetic.

employees usually do their own thing. we had access to places no one goes. stayed in employee dorm, drank and ate in employee bar and mess hall.

played in jackson, bozeman. cody.

remember we went to old faithful, and they closed the lodge off for us. went on a stagecoach ride in hayden valley, just employees. jumped off the falls above the south entrance. had a giant party at Lake Lodge gym. we went on private bus tour of the park. saw prismatic, tope.

walked the grand canyon of ystone by moonlight

on days off we fished or go out of the park.

Magnetic is a good word to describe it. They just sort of draw you in as you drive through the valley.

Just spent 2 days in Glacier NP and am still processing the grandeur of that place. Bucket List item without a doubt, Uncle Uly.

Definitely on my bucket list! Gorgeous!

Best trip of my life me and a buddy hit the road at 18 and headed west.

3 weeks, 10,000 miles driving,
Badlands
Mount Rushmore
Yellowstone
Oregon coast then all the way down highway 1 and 101
Redwoods
Sequoias
San Fran
Yosemite
Grand Canyon

Wish I could have seen Glacier and Jackson Hole area.

Edit: Oh yeah, and mountain bikes in Durango and Rockies to Denver. Devils tower as well. Epic trip!

Tetons are phenomenal. Everyone must see Glacier NP before they die though.
I can't wait...but I feel the same way about Crater Lake-Olympic-Mt Ranier-North Cacades National parks in Washington-Oregon. North Cascades may very well be the most underrated of all the National Parks imo.

All you other nature lovers should check out pics and vids on North Cascade National Park...it is mind blowing...and almost nobody talks much about them.

The plan is to do Glacier NP(and a few NPs on the way out..Theodore Rossevelt, Isle Royale, Voyageurs and Indiana Dunes on a two week trip in 25, and a Washington-Oregon NPs loop in 26.

I'm planning on going back to Utah and YNP-GTNP next year.
