From the Yesterdays Column of the Hungry Horse News: 30 years ago March 10, 1994 Preliminary plans for composting toilets, new water and waste disposal systems were released for Granite Park and Sperry Chalet, estimated to cost $4.2 million. ...

Re: Heat, Smoke and Finally Relief

Bill, Thanks for that great report and photos. Glad to see that you survived the heat and smoke and had a good trip. Good to know that the view of Lake McDonald is now becoming obscured by tree growth around Apgar Lookout. I often recommend the hike to people (including my daughter this past summer ...

Re: New business at Kiowa Junction

Although I didn't frequently drive that section of Route 89 I don't seem to remember the Kiowa Merc at all. Perhaps some years that I was in the Park it was not open.

Re: Sperry Chalet, Granite Park, 2024

A last minute conversation the night before Chalet Day resulted in 4 of us trying to apply yesterday morning. After a couple of time outs I ended up 547th in line, and we lucked out with a 3 night stay at Sperry for 5 people. Three nights!! Will be so nice to have an unrushed stay and some flexibil...

Re: Sperry Chalet, Granite Park, 2024

We have found that you don't want to give up on this if you don't succeed at first. You just have to keep a watch for cancellations. In 2014 we got one night at Granite. Then months later we saw a cancellation for the very next night and got that so we had two great nights at Granite. Last year my d...

Glacier Peaks Casino and Restaurant, East Glacier

Has anyone checked out the Glacier Peaks Casino and Restaurant at 33 Dawson Ave., East Glacier and can give us a review? It appears to be located behind the Circle R Motel and I believe is operated by the Blackfeet Tribe. It appears to be open all winter which if true would mean that East Glacier ha...

Re: Buffalo Cafe, Whitefish

I will be interested in your report on dinner at the Buffalo Cafe. For many years the Buffalo Cafe was open only for breakfast and lunch but not dinner. I have only had breakfast there and it is first-rate (and with a great variety on the menu). Based on my breakfast experiences there, I assume the ...
