Glacier National Park Chat

14th & 15th we'll be at many glacier hotel. hoping to do iceberg on the 15th if it's open. if not we may tackle the "hockey ref" hike instead. if i can get internet access i'll check in with you at some point. we're looking forward to sitting around the hoteld late in the afternoon hav...

What is the drive like from Many Glacier to Waterton? Any suggestions on a good place to eat dinner? I think the border crossings closer to Glacier and Waterton are a bit more lenient on acceptable documentation. I live about 30 miles from the border and go up to Lethbridge for weekends occasionally...

had a braincramp....it's counter assault that i'm looking for. most places that i've seen it sell one can for about $45. i always like for both my wife & i to each have a can (i'm probably dreaming that she would stand there & spray a bear that attacked me). :D Bear assault? Never heard of t...

i'm coming in on the 13th from my flight into great falls. where's the least expensive place to pick up some bear spray? do discount stores in the gtf area sell it? any particular brand better than others? bear assault seems to get good reviews but i wonder if you can buy it somewhere other than the...

one thing about the cattle baron restaurant is that the portions were so large my wife & i split the meal. like someone said it was a little pricey but the steak was so big we had no problem getting full by splitting.

my wife & i are driving from many glacier over to the waterton area one afternoon in july. we won't have time to do any hikes this time but will just be seeing the sites. anyone have any dinner recommendations? IMHO the waterton area is a must see on a trip to glacier. great daytrip from the eas...

scoutmom, i live in ft. payne. our schools were closed today because of about an inch. that's hard for people outside of alabama to believe i'm sure. where in north alabama do you live? edit: just noticed you're from athens. I know compared to Montana, it's not much, but we have 1" of snow in n...

wow, great thread. i rarely contribute anything here but visit the site several times each week. have gotten some great ideas from several of you. i'm a newbie to glacier. last year was our first trip & it was great because of everything i was able to gather from this site. we've had our 07 trip...

thanks to all for the helpful advice. last year was our first of hopefully many trips to gnp.

this july will be our 2nd trip to gnp & we want to do some different areas of the park. last year we did hidden lake, then crossed the highway & did highine to the loop. thought that the 14 miles wouldn't bother us too much because the last 4 were downhill. little did we realize those were t...

If you can't get into the read eagle, you might also give a call to whistling swan, he has been a customer of ours for a long time and does provide some great accomidations at a very reasonable price.. Dave does anyone know anything about the cabins at johnson's in st. mary? i've eaten at their res...

looking at the extensive damage to the GTTSR what are the chances that it will be open by next july? will they try to repair any of it before may?

i noticed that a dem won one of the senate races in montana. does this mean anything good for gnp? any increased funding possible?

quick question. i was in gnp in july & my bear spray was in my checked luggage. has there been a new rule against carrying it in checked baggage or did i get away with it untentionally. i would have sworn that i asked about doing this before our trip. First of all Welcome, The drive from Kalispe...
