If you get a chance to go back, I recommend going on the primitive roads past Polebridge Mercantile. There are a few hidden day trip gems accessible via 4x4 (dont recommend a newer vehicle, with two being Kintla and Bowman Lakes. Because the roads are more primitive, there are less tourists there, well at least for Kintla. Bowman is more popular of the two and easier to get to. The roads are all one lane, lots of ruts and rocky, but oh so worth it. I also recommend going at the end of May where its not full-bloom tourist season. A lot of Going-to-the-Sun road from West Glacier to East Glacier isnt open yet, Saint Marys Lodge isnt open, but the trails are mostly open with not a lot people on them yet. The bear, moose, sheep are outwe always see them at the end of May, but not when we have went in Oct.

We planned a trip there, years ago at the end of June. We stayed at Rising Sun on east side. The GTS road was still not open, so we had rerouted our trip to get to Missoula, our next destination. Before we left, we decided to go up as far as we could. The ranger at the gate told us the road was opening, in 30 minutes. We killed 30 minutes photographing around St Mary Lake, and then got to be one of the first cars on the road that summer. The Many Glacier area of the park is incredibly beautiful as well!

My husband and I (and some friends) visited Glacier in August. Since my husband and I were on our motorcycle, we experienced the sights, sounds, and smells of the park more so than if we had been in a car. Weatherwise, we got lucky. We were able to spend a couple of hours at Logan Pass, a stop I highly recommend. The park itself is one of the most stunning I have visited, and I can't wait to go back. Thanks for putting together your excellent video.

Loved the stop at the little bridge with the water squeezing thru the rocks reminded me of The Rogue River Gorge. And the hike you wren't planning on going on the trail going thru the greenery and plant life looked amazing! The lights in that lodge are awesome! I'd go hard cider too; )

We love Glacier. The hike at Logan Pass is gorgeous if the weather is on your side. We hiked a ways on a trail up there back to a little lake many years ago. Sorry you had so much fog and rain. :. Next time!

Any campgrounds near Glacier? I usually camp some distance away at state parks and drive in. Stayed in Cody and drove into Yellowstone about 40 miles away.

if you happen to be in Montana still check out the National Bison Range. Its a drive thru area which is free to enter with your National Park Pass.
