Glacier National Park Chat

Thanks very much for the insight Pete! I was afraid parking might be a hassle and was thinking it might be better to pick it up the day before (I have to work all day, so I guess I can give this as a reason why I need to leave early :lol: ). It's been a while since I've been to Bowman Lake... couldn...

We have a permit entering at Bowman Lake here in a couple of weeks. If we get our permit in the morning in Polebridge (right around 8 a.m.), will we have any issues finding parking at Bowman Lake? Do they have a designated backcountry parking area at Bowman? Thanks

Best: Hiking to Grinnell Lake for my first time (it was after a couple days of pouring rain, the clouds were opening up and it was absolutely gorgeous) Swiftcurrent Pass with my sister Wolverine crossing the highline trail in front of us Worst: Downpour, nonstop rain the first day and a half of our ...

Awesome shots...thanks for sharing!

Yes, looks like it is to me!!

I also saw one...today on the highline. Crossed the trail about 50 feet in front of us!!

I just did this hike 2 weeks ago for my first time...I really enjoyed it! the views during the hike aren't the most exciting until you reach the meadow and then the lake, but it is worth it in my opinion. Beautiful lake with nice waterfalls. We saw tons of scat on the trail - probably the most I hav...

I can't imagine a year at Glacier without... 1. Taking a May bike ride behind the gate to Avalanche Trailhead and hiking to a frozen avalanche lake 2. Driving up the sun road on opening day to see all the snow and how much it will change at Logan Pass over the summer months 3. Camping at Apgar with ...

I have no clue about the "pie rock" but am very curious!

Yes indeed, which is very fitting considering the name of the lake!

Here are a couple more to keep it going!

*Sorry, the pictures are a little big. I know better for next time!

Finishing up a road trip in Canada, we came down on the east side of the park for a couple hikes. I have a "hiking bucket list" at my house on my wall and knocked 2 hikes off of it this weekend (Aug 3rd & 4th)! http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/limedes/_DSC0975.jpg It was a blast....

Very nice!!! I've never been up to Avalanche this early. I usually don't get up there until around Mothers Day. Looks like still a good bit of snow up there too. Did the snow slide any while you were there? pocketlint :wink: We did hear the snow sliding a lot!! Pretty neat to hear the rumbling star...
