Glacier National Park Chat

Thanks for the insight guys. As much as I hated to I canceled and rebooked for next year. Two years without my fix.... It'll be a staycation next week I guess. Good thing I live in a place called Eden. I'll have to just play in this spot a few minutes from the house. Not the same as Glacier but not ...

LOL, not at all. I love that place and missed the "annual" trip last year. I've going into withdrawals and need my fix.

Terrible loss but I'm glad all the fire fighters are safe

It's killing me to see this. Supposed to head up Saturday but now I'm not sure. I was there in 2015 and even though I was staying out at Johnson's I had to leave early because I just can't breathe in the smoke. Just had a bad asthma attack bike riding Tuesday. Such a hard decision whether to come or...

So, where's the earliest place to get coffee there this year. A couple years ago there was a Kiosk going in the restaurant but last time it wasn't there and I had to wait on the campstore to open. This is the only thing that holds me up each morning, LOL. Gotta have my coffee.

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing.

Do they still do takeout there? In the past that was an easy way to beat the evening crowd. Just order to go from the front there and then go stock up for the next day at the campstore. Come back, grab dinner and go find a spot outside to chill and enjoy it. I still remember a few years back sitting...

Good to hear. I've found the food good there in the past and since I'm staying at Rising Sun next month it's good to hear things are still going well.

Regarding Logan pass parking...it's anyone's guess how that will play out in the next week or so. Parking at Sunrift Gorge, St Mary/VA Falls, Jackson Overlook, Siyeh Bend, and Lunch Creek has been tough at times. Getting a spot at any of them could be hard after 0900 or so...Im guessing on that. Th...

Well restricting 60 spots makes more sense then the original post. I can totally understand that. To be honest it seems more and more like the National Parks are becoming the places to avoid instead of visit. Too many people ruin the experience but I don't know what a real solution is. For me I may ...

Well that's stupid. So you can't drive there and do any hikes?

So, I'm finally getting back to the park the first full week of September. I'd like to do something I've never done and bring a bike. I'm thinking the roads will not be as bad after labor day. I'd only be riding from Rising Sun to Logan Pass. Thinking I'd do it midweek with an early morning start. N...

I still don't have it "right" but I keep trying to make the perfect B&W image out of this one.

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!! 7 Nights at Rising Sun scored today!!

I'm going to get my "fix" this year after all.

Just tried to do a week in Yellowstone and left early due to the crowds. Reminded me why Glacier is soooooooooooooo much better. Don't be surprised to find record crowds in Glacier as well. http://www.glacier.nationalparkschat.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9554 Yeah, I've been seeing the incre...
