parking at logan pass visitor's center

in the event we can't get the shuttle logistics to work out from many glacier to st. mary's to logan pass, can we park overnight at the logan pass visitor's center? when we've done sperry chalet we either parked at jackson glacier overlook pull off or at lake mcdonald lodge parking lot. we would par...

Re: Trail Status - 2023

we are hoping to hike it on 7/10 to spend the night at granite park. I don’t mind hiking up swiftcurrent to get there but don’t really want to do it via the loop trail. our preference is to take the shuttle from swiftcurrent motel to catch the Logan pass shuttle at at Mary’s & the. We can hike o...

Re: 2023 GTTS Contest

i'll say june 21st. anyone know how long after the road opens when they usually get the highline open? i'm guessing they won't open it until they get the hand cable installed?

Re: Sun Road tickets for July

nope, i tried & all were sold out. we have mgh reservations for 2 nights & 1 night at granite park chalet. i'm assuming we can travel with copies of those with us & won't need a gttsr pass. i'm more curious which route we're going to have to take to get to gpc. hoping we can do the highl...

Re: Sperry Chalet, Granite Park, 2023

i hope i haven't boxed us in with our dates (july 10th) as far as gttsr & available routes. since we are at mgh we really need for the road to be open to logan pass. if it's still not open i'm betting the hike up swiftcurrent pass to granite park won't be doable either. if the loop is our only a...

Re: Glacier Park will require reservations for Two Medicine, Many Glacier valleys

i think i'm confused. we've done the entry ticket thing a couple years ago but at that time you didn't need them for many glacier hotel. i'm assuming if you have hotel reservations you still won't need a road entry ticket? what about east entry to logan pass if you have granite park reservations? su...

Re: Sperry Chalet, Granite Park, 2023

i was shocked as well. got our date, july 10th. we've stayed at sperry numerous times & hiked in about every way possible, so really looking forward to spending the night at granite park. debating our approach to gpc this trip & have done it as an enter at logan, out at the loop, as well as ...

Re: how can they do this?

Yeah, & I’m guessing because there were so many foreign students used who can’t travel this year. I understand the issue but reading the “friends of glacier” Facebook page, this is happening to a ton of people. they had to know prior to 2 weeks before travel was to begin. Doesn’t give people man...

Re: how can they do this?

Well, at least they were able to give me 3 nights at swiftcurrent. It’s not MGH but it at least we avoid the disaster of not having any place to stay.

I wonder how many people will be effected like this? Is it because they can’t hire enough workers?
