I’m planning a hike-about Glacier National Park this summer (3 weeks beginning of August) and I’m looking for hiker tips. I’m pretty much interested in anything that will be of interest inside or on the border of the park.
Also, I’m interested in a few particulars. Are there any natural hot springs, ones that are non-commercial, IN the park? How about the fire towers, can they be accessed or are they for official use only? I plan on flying into Spokane and taking the rail to west Glacier any problems with that plan? I see a few different park passes, since I’m not driving and I plan on hiking/hitching in which do you recommend? Did anybody use the tour busses in Glacier and if so what was the fee? Was it a one-way, daily, or weekly options on the pass? Did anyone have a chance to compare lodges? Do any of the lodges have AYCE’s? Does anybody have any info about Kalispell or the surrounding areas, little villages that I should check out or stay away from? Also, I have AT&T, does anybody know if there is or is not service on the West or East side of the park?
My wife told me a few days ago that I could go for three weeks so I’m just now starting to plan.
Thanks,
Hellkat
