Re: backcountry campsite reviews

Thanks for helping out! I’ll delete the duplicate photo, but that’s a good idea. I will put it on the list!

Re: backcountry campsite reviews

Thanks! I’m glad you like it. It was fun to put together. I’ve thought about the rating on the map. It would be good to see what the ratings are around your location. You should be able to edit your review by clicking the Write a Review button. It should show your rating and review and you can edit ...

backcountry campsite reviews

Hi, I've been working on a project to make a place for people planning trips to go to get information on backcountry campsites. Information that you don't get from the park web pages. I was inspired by MattB's Glacier Route planner and this thread: http://www.glacier.nationalparkschat.com/phpBB3/vie...

Re: Multi-segment, kind of Northern Traverse - updated with

Loved your trip report!! Awesome photos!! Its a challenging route but well worth it, even in some of the marginal weather conditions you encountered, but thats the beauty of being in Glacier in September, you never know what you might get, and it seems like you got a little bit of everything! And o...

Re: Multi-segment, kind of Northern Traverse - updated with

Hi McKee, I really enjoyed your report especially your pictures. You had some really clear days. I like the back country reports but although the pictures are tempting I will have to enjoy adventures like yours vicariously from the comfort of home. The cold looks pretty brutal. I liked the TSA wate...

KcKee, I really enjoyed the report. Your writing style is great Thanks, man. I've enjoyed reading your reports over the past year. And your b&w photography is fantastic. Ps. I keep saying I should hike Belly River. The best thing for me about the Belly River is where it takes you. Mokowanis Lak...

Oh, and here are some short videos. Mostly when I was overwhelmed and couldn't decide what picture to take, I would turn on video and spin in a slow circle!

Re: Multi-segment, kind of Northern Traverse - updated with

Thanks! It was so great. Well worth all the planning and the watching of the plans be dismantled :). I'm glad we decided to break up the trip so we could see Hole in the Wall. I really liked the one from Boulder looking north with the colored foreground and looking toward the mountain to the north w...

Re: Multi-segment, kind of Northern Traverse

Last we spoke, out erstwhile heroes had just frontcountry camped in Apgar. I had to run out to the KOA and get a shower, due to a rapidly escalating chafing situation. I stopped in the outdoor store in West Glacier for something to help, but they didn't have anything. Out of pure desparation, I expl...

Re: Multi-segment, kind of Northern Traverse

Your pictures are great! I really enjoyed reliving the Sue bench experience through them. By the way, I agree that ramp was killer steep. As I was going up it I said to myself this is the last time I'm doing this. However, I want to do again now :D The big animal at MOL was probably that big bull m...

I really wanted to get star pictures like yours. With the haze and the weather we had in the north fork, it just didn't work out.

Multi-segment, kind of Northern Traverse - updated with pt 2

Hi, First off, I want to thank everyone on this board that asked and answered questions and gave advice. It really helped make my trip a memorable and awesome experience. I started backpacking last year as a transition from playing hockey, which seems to be kicking my butt more as I get older. I ask...

Re: Glacier Northern Traverse Group trip Aug 1-9

Thanks for the report, sounds awesome. I still need to put up my report, same areas, with much scrambling because of fires, road closures, and weather!
