Glacier National Park Chat

Great stuff, Kyle! I’ll be ordering, Thanks so much.

Yes! Let the backpacking begin!

Is that water in your bottle or is it really vodka this time?

HOL is now open. I read there was an issue with the pit toilet that needed to be fixed and prevented it from opening early.

Off to a good start, Flatt Matt. Keep it coming!

What an amazing rainbow photo!

May there be many more trips in your future.

Very nice of you to offer!

My vehicle was side swiped today by an RV in the parking lot of the St Mary Supermarket. If something similar happens to you (hopefully not) and you need a vehicle accident report for insurance purposes, you will need to call the Glacier County Sheriffs office (+1-406-873-2711, option 3 when you get...

Let’s make that clear! lol

Some days it’s been good, others bad. All depends on how the wind blows. I’d say the good days have outweighed the bad so far.

I have a helinox chair zero (I think)? Weighs about a pound. Honestly, I have skipped bringing it the last few trips in favor of saving weight, and I have not missed it. I cut down a 14 section foam pad and bring either the 6 or 8 panel section with me to use as a door mat for my tent, as an insulat...

Looking forward to your trip report!

It’s no big deal to cross because the water level is low, but just so you know. 2. Cosley campground is in great shape. Trail crew ...

An example of selfish people who think the rules don’t apply to them ruining it for others.

This happened at MOL. She said we could still walk thru the campground to access Margaret Lake. They just want no tents there for awhile.

The other thing to note is that the parks new trail status page shows Glens Head as being open. But the backcountry office wouldn’t issue a permit even so. There is some kind of internal disconnect there. I popped into the St Mary Ranger Station yesterday to inquire about GLH. Apparently, a bear go...

That Glens Head would be open and Mok Lake and Junction closed doesn’t make a lot of sense since all three are very close together. I had the same thought and appreciate you providing this excellent intel. I was able to come up with a plan B in advance since it looks likely that our 2 nights at GLH...
