Glacier National Park Chat

I generally use firefox but also use chrome. It might be caused by hitting the thank button first and then posting a replay on the same thread.

OK, it definitely happens when I do that. because it just did!

Occasionally when I try to respond to a post it fails with one of those robot detector violations "The solution you provided was incorrect". If I retry it continues to the fail. I usually have to logout and log back in to get it to work again. I've been meaning to ask you about it since it...

My biggest worry about this is that I'm not very lucky at lotteries

Yeah, not saying it would be easy. But then again, you would probably only need to carry a sleeping bag and some food if you were staying at the chalets. I thought the hike up to the ridge over Hidden lake wasn't too bad. The climb down to floral park was the rough part. I didn't have poles so was g...

The photos are amazing! What a great summer you had. Thanks for posting!

Interesting, if you had back to back days and Granite and Sperry chalets. You could theoretically do it in one day hike by using the floral park traverse between Granite and Sperry. You could get to Logan pass either by hiking down to the loop and grabbing the shuttle or hiking the trails to Logan. ...

I'm guessing the pink toenails are Jay's

I see your point, but there are other reasons why someone with a 3 day pass might not show up that they are there for 3 days. For instance if they come when there is no one at the gates. I've seen the gates not manned many times. The vehicle reservation checkpoints are manned during the periods tha...

Probably a good idea. Although, ELF has nice sites and great views, it has 6 sites and it always feels like I'm not in the back country.

I agree the campsites at ELH aren't the best. But I usually want to stay 2 nights on Elizabeth Lake so that I can dayhike the tunnel or Redgap Pass or Helen Lake. Because ELF is one night only I seem to end up at ELH a lot. I've probably stayed there 5 or 6 times over the years. Yeah, the location ...

I really like that walk along Elizabeth Lake from the Foot to the Head. I’ve stayed at ELH in the site closest to the pit toilet. It was fine with 2 small tents. But I didn’t realize there was access to the lake from the campground! Tibber and I walked a good quarter mile back toward ELF to sit on ...

Park officials cited data from 2023 indicating that only 2% of three-day reservations were utilized all three days, and said that by shifting to a single-day system more reservations can be provided to visitors. How do they know that? If a car with 3-day reservation enters the park, does not leave ...

So we get to Many Glacier and we only had a half a day to do some day hiking. I suggested Snow Moon Basin since it wouldn't be too strenuous and it's a pretty short hike. We headed down the trail to Cracker lake and about half mile in I wondered if anybody brought bear spray. None of us had, so Tim ...

I'm finally getting around to posting some photos of this year's trip. Our itinerary was for the first week of August with ELH-HEL-COS-GLH-GLH-COS in and out at Chief Mountain Customs. My hiking partners were Tim and Andy. I've backpacked with Tim many times before including doing the northern trave...
