 10eke Says:  Logan Pass is closed during winter, on the park's web-site you can track the progress of the snow-clearing team. They proudly announced the re-opening of the pass showing a videoclip of the victorious team. Unfortunatley by the time we arrived two weeks later, the pass was... 

Mc Donald Creek

Mc Donald Creek, East Glacier Park

 10eke Says:  We noticed that after a group on horseback passed us by near McDonald Falls, the path was cleared of anything the horses dropped during their promenade. I must say that this is really appreciated by us simple folks on foot!

 Tri Says:  Hey be rugged - sleep in a tent with the bears. This year we will go back withour kids and stay at Many Glacier Hotel. Sure the Many Glacier Hotel and The Prince of Wales Hotel are beautiful, but a cold dip in the river is the way to go for a bath! Besides, the Prince of...

 judydickey Says:  We stayed in the main inn at Glacier, since accomodations outside the park are quite a drive from what we wanted to see. The inn is on a deep lake, and has a great dining room that is kid-friendly. You can stay in rooms in the inn, or in cabins for one family, or in...

 daleka Says:  It was pouring rain and freezing, but this place was packed in a sleepy Montana town at 9 on a Thursday night. The inside had a nice ambiance but we sat out on the covered patio under a heat lamp, so it was tolerable, even pleasant, in the forty-degree weather (in August -...

When biking downhill, try to stay under 50 MPH and be aware there is quite a drop once you fly over the stone guard rail.

Bears!!! We saw one Grizzly and a black bear. A game warden come up one night and told us to let them know if we see a bear around our tents tonight. They were going to 'relocate' him if he came back.

 Tri Says:  Ride your bike over the Going to the Sun Road! Start early - you have to make it to Logan's Pass (the top of the Continental Divide) by noon! Setting up camp just inside Canada and making a good old fashion Cajun chicken and sausage Gumbo.

 judydickey Says:  Hike! Walk all the terrific trails. The thing we liked best about this national park was the non-commercial nature. Everything was do-it-yourself. The scenery was amazing, especially for a Florida family. Bear warnings are posted everywhere, and bears are a real danger on...
