USA chapter: Glacier National Park
Some memories remain with us for the rest of our lives... I think even now (middle of November) I can close my eyes and almost feel the beeze on my face as we were descending along the Highline Trail in the Glacier National Park in August.
I remember having to stop every 5 minutes to exclaim "WOW!" while desperately trying (and failing) to catch everything on the camera, always getting angry with the stupid technology that can never get it right... While we brought back a lot of pictures (some of which I was actually pretty happy about), they cannot fully describe everything we encountered on our short trip to Montana: the enormity of the views, the spectacular mountain range that goes on as long as the eye can see, the rays of sunshine over the lakes, the serenety of the early morning trails not yet disturbed by the swarms of tourists, the conflicted feeling about the nature forces so strong and yet so fragile, the shared understanding that the world is so much bigger than us...
We would tell others "You just HAVE to go there!" when asked about our trip. This place is like no other, it cannot be explained in words or pictures (at least not by me). It has to be experienced, it has to be engraved into your own memory cells and leave its own footprint in your soul. Don't trust us about how spectacular it was. We are just merely the messengers of the nature spreading the word about its beauty...
