Re: Latest 2020 Season Opening News

I got a Many Glacier reservation for the first time in 3 years and sadly it was cancelled today. As someone who has a newborn at home, with strict social distancing policies in the household. I understand the safety concern it presents. It will be interesting to see follow the chat this season to se...

Re: Campground Reservations

I don't like the reservation model, I prefer the first come, first serve method. I still haven't been able to get a reservation for Many Glacier, but I now have experience from another national park in high demand. I recently got a campsite Memorial day at North Pines in Yosemite. The method they us...

Re: Campground Reservations

I started coming to glacier in 2014 and it's amazing the way the visitorship has changed in that short amount of time. In 2014 we had a north circle backcountry permit, after the first night we had an injury so we came out of the backcountry, arrived at St Marys at 4 PM, there were plenty of sites a...

Re: Campground Reservations

Thanks for the heads up! Trying to make my fifth trip in a row. Last year I got lucky with reservations. Two years ago I got my reservation for Many Glacier on a Cancellation (appreciate those people taking the time to do that). Then I got up at 5AM to move to Rising sun. Took a folding chair with m...

Campground Reservations

Has anyone had any luck making a reservation online at 10AM.

For two weeks I have waited until exactly 10AM to make a reservation and every time someone beats me to the punch. Are they calling it in or is my internet connection just slower?

Thanks,
Tom

Re: Big fee increases may be in the future...

I welcome the increase, but I think they should also look at fees in other parks. I was shocked when after I spent a week in Great Smokey National Park this fall, I realized "oh there are no entrance fees". 10 Million people a year enter that park with no fees. It's a heck of a deal, but t...

Re: Andy Anderson (Hockey Ref) Day on Glacier Chat

I never met Andy, but I read many of his posts. I live only 60 miles north of where he called home. This year I got to Swiftcurrent for the first time with my wife and good friend while hiking the Hockey Ref. I explained to them we needed to add a rock in honor of the guy who's name the trip bears. ...

Re: August '17 - Glacier's 2nd busiest month on record

I've always wondered is the number that is reported the amount of cars or people? I notice at the front gate they don't take a count of people in a car.

Re: July visitation surpasses 1,000,000 for the 1st time....

Looks like things may finally be quieting a bit... Yesterday, Apgar, Avalanche and Two Medicine campgrounds did not fill...it is the first day in several weeks that any of the three have not filled... Also Many Glacier and Rising Sun didn't fill until around noon... The last few days they have been...
