I came to GNP my sophomore summer of college. A friend and I drove up from school in Tuscaloosa, University of Alabama, and got jobs with the concessionaire at East Glacier Lodge. We made many friends and became especially close with a Blackfoot Indian family that took to us like we were their own. It was the best summer of my life and I recently returned with my wife and two boys. They had heard all about the park but never could have imagined the immensity and beauty. They are both teens and went without phones and TV for 8 glorious days - never a complaint. They will be GNP fans forever
