Glacier National Park Chat

well, we made it. we had talked to some others who asked the rangers about going thru the pass but they were discouraged from trying. same thing happened to us last year so i took care of that by not asking this time. :) there were 4 cars in the lot so we were hoping some of them were hiking to sper...

would love an update on trail conditions thru the pass on the way to sperry. we plan to hike there on the 19th. thanks in advance.

we make this drive every year when we leave glacier for yellowstone. the drive up paradise valley out the north entrance of ynp is gorgeous. coming from many glacier hotel it takes us about 6.5 - 7 hours to drive to chico hot springs in pray, mt. that's about 30 miles outside the north entrance &...

exactly what we've done. i let time slip up on me & i've got to ship mine to swiftcurrent tomorrow. we get there wed afternoon. if you're around there wed - sat this week my wife & i will buy you a beer for all the great pics you've posted recently. we don't even know you but my wife will co...

we've done it down in the jackson hole area lakes & there's not a lot of difference in the water temp if any. as long as you don't fall off the board you really shouldn't get wet. more concerned with it being windy & choppy. i can never get over watching some of the kids swim right where you...

anyone know if they rent paddle boards either at many glacier or two medicine? i know they rent canoes/kayaks/boats at mgh but not sure about paddle boards.

great pics. so glad to hear from someone that got thru gunsight this time of year. we're planning on doing it to sperry in about 3 weeks. thanks for the report.

I made a mistake using the online site trying to check for availability around the 4th of July. Instead I ended up booking 4 nights at St. Mary's Lodge. I called them immediately but they wouldn't let me cancel without paying the 10% penalty. So now I'm stuck with a $95.47 credit. No problem I thoug...

i got thru online with 51 ahead of me. later today i got a confirmation that we got our night on the 19th. last year we had to hike up & back from lake mcdonald. hoping for gunsight pass route next summer.

wow. this is going to throw a big wrench in people's plans to use the shuttles. not sure what my options will be parking at jackson glacier overlook to start my sperry hike since we were going to take the shuttle back from lake mcdonald. may have to re-trace our steps back from sperry thru gunsight.

i'd say that's a pretty solid report. thanks a bunch. if you get coverage at the pass post an update & i'll check it that night before we make our final decision on our route. My son who's working up at Sperry this year called today and said that a good sized party (8ish people) made it through ...

thanks so much. so you didn't go all the way back out to jackson glacier overlook? you backtracked to sperry & down to lake mcdonald? i'm still debating whether to try it from JLO. we don't do it until sat morning & have all the gear. once we decide we're going to commit to it so i just want...

As I type this, I'm standing on the top of Lincoln Pass, looking out at the fog and the snow. My iPhone started ringing as I headed up the last switchbacks, and sure enough ... I have reception up here. I'm waiting a few minutes to see if the fog will burn off before heading on down to Ellen Wilson...

are you guys staying 1 night or 2? if 2, maybe we'll run into ya'll on the 21st. we plan on checking with the ranger station in st. mary's on the 20th as we head to mgh. hopefully we'll get a good report on being able to hike thru gunsight. we'll have crampons so hopefully it'll be passable. good lu...

you're a good man. if you are around many glacier on the afternoons/evenings of the 20th or 22nd i'll buy you a beer if you'll have one. thanks again for any update you can provide. So I'm really looking forward to being in the park next week. Any new on when the Highline may open up? Trail status p...
