yellowstone is a great place. I feel lucky its as close to me as it is..
Glacier is worth seeing, while there are still glaciers to see.

Been to a bunch of those parks. They are all amazing.

Fear me. I have a Cabin in montana.

thats an understatement.
the state of montana, has two seasons.
winter, and fire. we are always having issues with it.. It gets so dry, and then lighting comes, and messes the whole place up..
yellowstone however, is a big issue.. that whole place is just one giant supervolcano, waiting to go off. and god help us when it does.

Fear me. I have a Cabin in montana.
