Glacier National Park Chat

I think it depends on what you are seeking. Francis, much promoted,does have a scenic lake setting. But it also entails an extra half-mile hike each way off the main trail to get to the campsite. Then, to access drinking water (at the lake), one must descend a steep path from the campsites. Janet, ...

I guess I don't have a particular reason for wanting to stay at Janet - just looking to do Brown Pass while seeing as much of the area as possible. Just to clarify, we were thinking of starting at the Bowman trailhead, staying the 1st night at the Bowman backcountry campground, the 2nd night at Lak...

Good luck with that itinerary 8) If you make Pitamakan Pass, then coming down to Old Man Lake might be "interesting". Bring ur water shoes; you'll need em. pete :wink: Thanks, Pete! Hopefully it will work out, but we certainly won't push our luck. Gotta respect our limitations! If you don...

Where were you going after Pitamakan Pass? Day hiking or part of a backpack trip? Just curious/nosey 8) I may be having a "senior moment" but I don't know what you mean by Two Medicine trailhead (TNE) pete :wink: Hi Pete, One of the possible backcountry trips we're considering is a two-ni...

I thought the same thing, but that's what the trail status page says...is there any chance it could be a typo?

Hi all, I have a feeling this is a long shot, but I was wondering what people thought about the possibility of hiking through Pitamakan Pass around July 2nd, going from Atlantic Creek (ATL) to the northern Two Medicine trailhead (TNE). I know it's had a lot of snow recently, but it looks like there ...

It looks like it's open!

Thanks for the information!

I wonder if this maybe should be pinned, for those looking in the future?

Thanks for the information, all -- very helpful!

What pain :( Im here in Browning and Fish and Wildlife office is not open. But I expected that. Apparently, the only way to get a permit "in person" is at the office here in Browning. And the office is a bit out of the way over on the far side of Browning on 464, the road to Duck Lake. I ...

Thanks a ton, Pete - I'd be grateful for any information you come across.

But I'd hate for you to pass up your preferred drive on my account!

Technically , you might not need a Blackfeet recreation permit to drive that 6 miles to the Glacier boundary. However, I believe you should have one anyway. No need to screw up your trip over a $10.00(last year) permit. You can't buy them anymore at the gas station in East Glacier. The gal in there...

I wasn't sure where to post this question, but this seemed like a reasonable place: Does my group need a Blackfeet Reservation permit to get to the Cut Bank Creek Trailhead (CBE) from St. Mary? It looks like you have to drive through the reservation, but since we won't actually be hiking there I was...

The bad news is that it appears they are no longer stopping at Cut Bank (though that stop was always less than ideal as I believe it entailed like a 5 mile roadwalk to get to the trailhead…). For anyone that is interested, I just spoke with GPI on the phone, and they told me that they do have a shu...
