Last request: walk-in availability page.

zozeppelin,

HA!

Best regards,

Scott

Thanks for the updates Scott- sorry they’re not good ones. So it looks like they’re turning them in < 2 weeks now with your datapoint. Take a look at the Gunsight pass itinerary I posted earlier. I’m keeping an eye on things and will let you know if anything else pops up (you’re mostly interested i...

Looks like I missed getting the requested itineary by about 8 hours.

Received the "unable to confirm any of your itinerary choices." today at about 4:30 pm Eastern Time.

I'm trying one last reservation request... we'll see how that goes.

Scott

Looks like you carry a big stick Scott- availability ‘back’. Now can you get them to fix Many Glacier missing from the trail status page? zozeppelin, Hmmpft... They did it to mock me... HA! The itinerary I requested beginning on Sep 15th, GAB-GLH-GLH-GAB now has a hole on the 16th that can't be fil...

Well it's a week later and the Advance Backcountry Availability webpages are still showing beaucoup sites available. Even weirder is that some of these are showing sites "missing" - as if they've been awarded to folks trying to get a reservation. Has anyone here brought this situation to t...

Something is not right. When I look at the Backcountry Availability page, it is showing lots of green. Just about every possible route available! teapot57, Perhaps it's an effort to increase revenue by having unaware people apply for "ghost campsites". I thought "Bait & Switch&qu...

Looks like they're done with processing the initial batch and the advanced availability site is back up and working well. Walk-in is not, but trail status and closures are. zozeppelin Thanks for posting this... I had a link from years ago for the Backcountry Advanced Availability page. Apparently t...

Just got my "Unable To Confirm Any Of Your Reservation Choices" email from Glacier. Not a total surprise as I had picked some routes with bottlenecks but I also had a date spread from August 8th to September 22nd as well as campsite substitutions on the routes I had requested. Requested it...

...if done right... Paul, There's the tricky part. HA! The form, as it is now, allows a lot of customization and options. Yes a program (sorry, I'm old school) could do the same but I don't think it would be trivial to duplicate what a properly caffeinated person in the Backcountry Office can do. B...

...Didn't want the situation where people were applying for 'available' dates that wouldn't exist after initial permit processing was completed... With all due respect to the person that called you back... I think that's what we all do when we sign up for this lottery. I respectfully disagree with ...

Scott, You might try calling them up. They probably made a mistake when they rejected your permit. -Paul Paul, I haven't had a response to my permit application yet... although it's beginning to sound like I could call them and do some preemptive bellyaching. HA! In the past I would watch the sites...

...there were probably options and routes/sites open for you... Used to be one could look at the Backcountry Advance Availability Web Page (https://home.nps.gov/applications/glac/bcpermits/bcadv/newbcmap.html) and see whether they had fumbled a permit reservation request. For whatever reason, that ...

Hey Scott. My comment above was that I am glad to NOT need a bear canister. I'm definitely not bringing one Andrew Andrew, I guess next time I will read these forums with my reading glasses on. I don't know how I misread that but there you go. I must say I was REALLY wondering how you would get tha...

Scott, I do plan to resupply at Many Glacier. But 9 days is a lot of food to carry from there. It will help not having to use a bear canister. Good luck to everyone waiting on a permit application. Andrew Andrew, Please forgive me for asking the following. I'm not trying to insult you or anything. ...
