I spent the summer of 2012 traveling with the Vans Warped Tour. For 2 months I worked 12hrs a day in the blazing, dry heat, sweating and swearing across the entire continental U.S. The tour ended in Portland, and some friends and I drove to Montana to visit family. We took a trip to Glacier National Park and hiked to Galcier Lake. After spending the last 60 days choking on dust and sweat, the sight of the mountains, glacial lakes, and open air almost brought me to tears.
Sincerely,
Glacier National Park
