Glacier National Park Chat

Just received an email from Xanterra tonight saying they have no rooms available. This after I have been booked for a year. Non-refundable airfare, $500 worth of VIP tickets to the Under the Big Sky music festival, & 10 other days of non-refundable reservations over that time period. Here’s the ...

i think only if you are inside GTTSR. don't think it counts if you're at MGH.

hey pete, we are flying into kalispell around 11am on 7/18 for the under the big sky music festival. was finally able to get a gnp entry ticket this morning for the 18th but we won't need it until the 19th when we head to many glacier hotel. i'm still confused about how we can use the pass. if i don...

just saw sperry updated 2020 opening for july 17th. cost is now $400 for a couple in one room ($237 1st person, $139 2nd person). I was anticipating an early july opening & now can't get my dates to line up with current MGH reservations. going to wait until spring to decide what to do but may ha...

waited too long to get what we wanted for this summer so we're planning on doing a bigger trip next year to include the "new sperry". when do reservations become open for many glacier hotel, swiftcurrent, east glacier lodge, & lake mcdonald? i wonder if they will start taking sperry 20...

Pete, saw where highline opened. You think we're good to do hockey ref? Haven't heard swiftcurrent pass conditions. Actually in flight now & land in Kalispell in about an hour. If you're going to be in the Many Glacier area let me know. Would love to finally meet you. Tks. Tony

Hey Pete, wife & I are headed that way on 7/7 with plans to spend 4 days in the park before heading toward ynp & Jackson Hole. We did the hockey ref hike about 10 years ago but I forget the logistics for the shuttle from swiftcurrent to Logan. What times can you catch it & don't you take...

Guess this kills our sperry chalet hike from Jackson glacier overlook on Saturday. I wonder if sperry will stay open?

I just hope ptguard sees this "revised" post. I hate to spoil their expectations :( pete :wink: thanks for the update. we will continue to check this thread but as of now we still plan on making the hike from this direction. the fields were larger than this 2 years ago & I think havin...

thanks for the info. the wife will be thrilled.

would love to run into any others that might be doing the same hike or in the area when we're there. our itinerary is: Friday 7/24 - belton chalet, sat - sperry, sun, mon, tues - many glacier hotel, wed, thurs, fri - marina cay lodge in bigfork.

planning on hiking to sperry chalet on the 25th from the long way in. would appreciate any update as to trail conditions thru gunsight pass. did this 3 years ago & it was iffy crossing the snowfields & just prior to getting to the pass we had to hike up & around a wall of snow/ice where ...

got my email confirmation for the 25th of july. will be our 3rd time to stay at sperry. hiked in from gunsight pass last year & it was long but amazing. a few snow fields made it interesting but lots of fun. we only met one person on the way in last year but he was a retired sports illustrated p...

i am late to this & so sorry to hear about your loss. most years i'm a frequent visitor to the site as we have been to gnp 10 straight summers. this year we decided to do a trip to Oregon for the summer so i haven't been on hardly any & am just now seeing this. your father was an inspiration...

night temps weren't bad at all but we were inside the chalets at sperry so i'm sure it was cooler in a tent. i'd say high 40's probably.
