Re: GNP 2023 - TSE to TNE (the long way)

Enjoying your trip report so far. About those junior rangers in the parking lot demanding your permit and lecturing you. I guess it's good they are checking for permits but yeah it would be better if they did it in the backcountry camps instead of the parking lots. I also have had some young ranger...

Re: 2024 Ticketed Entry

Also I see the 'day prior' pass time has changed from the morning to the evening, which is also good as those wanting passes likely are heading into the park early the day of (prior) to gain access without a ticket and won't have cell access.

Re: GNP 2023 - TSE to TNE (the long way)

Hah yah, poor attempt at a 1 man inside joke. And to be pedantic, I actually started and finished at TNE.

And yes Jay, dense is the goal- in all respects!

I promise there will be actual reporting of hiking very soon.

2024 Ticketed Entry

Updates for next year: Flathead Beacon Heading in the right direction by dropping the east entrance and Two Medicine. Also by pushing the entry point up GttSR, people can enter Apgar and catch shuttles - this is a breakthrough improvement. Not blocking the east entrance seems to admit the issue isn’...

Re: GNP 2023 - TSE to TNE (the long way)

Day 6 9-16-2023 - Two Medicine North Shore Segment; Length (14.7) Elevation; Up (3499) | Down (3773) Ok last day. As always, in a hurry to catch a plane - plenty of time of course to Missoula for the 8 PM flight, but at risk was precious shower and first hamburger+beer time. I asked the hikers the p...

Day 5 9-15-2023 - Undesignated! Fires; NO Segment; Length (11.8) Elevation; Up (1877) | Down (2201) Bear locker: no Welcome to the adventure day with undesignated camping. I was more thinking / focused on that location, assuming the day would be like the previous meandering along the creek with some...

Well, technically 'in the Coal' but that doesn't as cool. No dinosaurs to be found, at least the Jurassic variety. I was awoken to wolf howls. I sl...

Honestly I wasn't too worried about the distance, just the energy and Fielding Trail being too bushy. I also knew the water crossings would slow m...

Re: GNP 2023 - TSE to TNE (the long way)

Day 0 As I mentioned, I was running short on goodwill and vacation, so I attempted to squeeze this trip in as few days as possible. Additionally, in the weeks leading up to the trip, the trail closed between Pitamakan Pass and Two Medicine (well really Dry Fork intersection). So that meant I had to ...

GNP 2023 - TSE to TNE (the long way)

Day -n Finally getting around to the trip report. One of the last areas that I hadn't been to was the Nyack/Coal Creek area, so I wanted to give it a try to see what all the hubbub is about. It's framed out by GNP to be some land before time. Will there be dinosaurs? Cavemen? 5 star resort? I also h...

Re: Webcams Added

I think they will stay up: Flathead Beacon

Interesting read and makes one wonder if the historic IT problems and current systems that were all handed over to Rec.gov could be better and more thoughtfully supported by the conservancy.

Re: General site updates

Hey Kyle, what’s with the bots? Randomly resurrecting old threads with seemingly chatCPT generated content. The mystery to me is ‘what is the end game’ with no link to sell you something or phish your information.
