Just wanted to post a couple of magazine tidbits I found recently:
Endangered Vacations
Glacier National Park
Going-to-the-Sun Road, a mountain highway in Montana, is all too aptly named. Less than 18 percent of Glacier National Park's glaciers remain, and they may melt completely by 2030.
(Discover, April 2008, page 74)
Q+A with Patricia Shultz, who wrote 1,000 Places to See Before You Die
Q: What place should travelers visit before they disappear altogether?
A: Glacier National Park. The glaciers may be gone in our lifetime.
(Via Magazine, May/June 2009, page 14)
And there we go.

it is going to be a beautiful trip and we will all be so glad to have been there. then let's go to havasu again!!! plus many more perfect trips in the future!
we'll be round there 21 years before 2030. some magnificent grandeur awaits.
I read that also!! It's so sad. I'm so glad we are going but it's sad to think that everytime you go it could be different. like Jarom and Bella couldn't take their kids to do the same thing. It's just hard to really fully grasp the idea that it may be gone in our life time!
thanks for making us aware of that Matt. I really believe that the park will retain (and probably increase) its beauty as time goes by. But we will be able to take, probably a thousand pictures to help with the memory. If you haven't already you may want to check out this link (http://home.nps.gov/glac/photosmultimedia/multimedia.htm)some nice pictures and videos
So I think we should try to see us a glacier or two!
