Glacier National Park Chat

Thank you, all. This information is really helpful. I'm looking forward to having such easy access to these trails from the campground. I'll be getting plenty of driving in Montana next month. 8) I was looking at Wupatki last month as a possible stop. Pair it up with Sunset Crater if we have enough ...

Hello all, I debated resurrecting an older, general Grand Canyon thread but elected to start this one specific to the North Rim. My wife and I are headed to the Grand Canyon in a couple of weeks. I know late June may not be ideal in terms of temps, but it fits into the schedule and she's already goi...

This flatlander has a couple of 10 lb bags of rice in the pack, and has gotten used to getting funny looks around the neighborhood!

Welcome to the chat Jim :) ... pete :wink: Pete, thank you for the welcome and the advice. I was studying the map and considering the two different routes as a way to vary the hike in and out. Of course that will depend on the river level. I'm looking forward to it. This will be the earliest in the...

First time poster, long time message board lurker. I received my email from the backcountry office this morning: in at CME, night one GAB, night two ELH, out CME. This will be a two nighter in the middle of a five day trip to the park following July 4th. This will be my fourth trip to Glacier and my...
