Glacier National Park Chat

I'm pretty sure the NPS has got lots of people thinking about this problem and working on it, and they are trying to think through a LOT of different scenarios and Phases and situations, that in all likelihood are going to change a lot between now and then. I think they are trying to come up with so...

I wonder how they are going to do the meals at Sperry? Its pretty tight quarters in the dining room, no way they could maintain social distancing during dinners. Breakfast might work ok. Maybe they will limit how many people can stay at the lodge at any time, so the dining room won't be too crowded...

I've used Flickr in the past, not sure if it still works...

You are awfully brave to cut a foot off the end of your sleeping pad!
That first cut must have been very frightening!
My Nemo has valves at both ends, I imagine that would have complicated the process a bit.

Great photo's Pete!! Looks like it was a great day, in spite of the way things looked early on!!

I just returned from a trip through Utah, we spent a half day in Zion and a half day in Bryce Canyon.... Xanterra is the concessionaire for Zion and Forever Resorts was the concessionaire for Bryce Canyon.. In Zion, prices were high and it seemed like a fast food place.... In Bryce things were more ...
