We went the 3rd week of September and it was still very busy. Had to circle around the Logan Pass parking lot for 30 minutes until we were able to snag a parking spot. It's also funny you mentioned Avalanche Lake - we had no luck getting a parking spot there the first time so we killed some time at Lake McDonald just like you mentioned, then came back later in the afternoon and got a spot. Best advice is to actually spend more time at the Park later in the day. We hiked the Highline Trail in the afternoon and had much of the trail to ourselves - so few of people that it was actually spooky. Then we spent some time at St Marys Lake in the evening and had all of that to ourselves. Everyone thinks they have to get there early to beat the crowds, so it actually ends up being more crowded in the morning.

I've looked at so many camping recipes and yours are the most diverse and delicious by far! Thank you so much and keep them coming!!!

I have been given a Large Dutch Oven. I think it is 20 Quart. It is 18" across, and will not fit in my oven. Any suggestion on how to season it?

Avalanche Lake is awesome. St Mary's / Virginia Fall's hike is a little bit of a challenge but the waterfalls are beautiful. Aster Falls hike at Two Medicine Lake is a scenic hike and you might see one or more Moose feeding on the lakeshore. The boat tours on Two Medicine Lake, St Mary's Lake, Lake McDonald and Many Glacier are very scenic and relaxing. Do NOT stay at Glacier Park Lodge at East Glacier. The bathrooms are tiny, nasty dirty and no air conditioning so you will literally swelter trying to sleep at night.

Most importantly; don't take candy from strange grizzly bears. Stranger Ranger.

Do you need a pass after labor day? Also is it easy to get reservations in the park that time of year or do you need to plan well in advance? I thought a previous video you made that one was not needed.

I found one on my street for free. With the same cart. It was only use twice they said. So I bought it home and it didn’t have any grease on it so I think I got a good deal. Lol

My recommendation is for people to get a book that lists all of the National Parks and what to see and do at each. Avoid the Big Eight : Yosemite, Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Grand Canyon, Arches, Acadia, Smokey Mountains and a few others. Look carefully at visitation. There are so many incredibly beautiful parks with few people. These parks offer everything the Big Eight does (wildlife, great scenery) and something they don't: solitude. No reservations just to get in! No standing in line to see the overlook! They are what the Big Eight were thirty, forty years ago! See them while they are still that way!

Not trying to be a wise a$$, but don't you just spray it at the bear like one would with mace? I'm legitimately asking.

Have you tried to make a Rueben? I think I'm going to put that on my list of things to try.

Great info! Planning to road trip to Montana at the end of this month, this video is much appreciated.

I've got my house less than a mile from the park since the 90's. Tip number 4 is a great tip if you are local or will have many opportunities to visit the park. It's not a great tip if you're only going one time. It can snow early and close the Going To The Sun Road, the stores will sometimes have reduced or even closed business, airline tickets start going up. This is the best month for solitude in the wild without the snow. My guess is that hotel, AIRBNB rates are a little less in September than July and August, though I've never checked. Columbia Falls is right between the airport and GNP and has everything you might want to buy, has restaurants, a waterslide park. If you want to see the park but don't want to camp with the bears and would rather stay with modern conveniences than Columbia Falls is perfect.

I was there middle of June and the "crowds" were no problem at all.

All great tips! Thanks!

Well. So much for that trip. Been wanting to go for years but it sounds miserable.

There are just not many places you can visit in the continental USA and experience backcountry serenity i.e. nobody around while you take in the splendour. As I am not from the USA and have zero qualms about revealing my favourite places, they're already useless for my tastes, so here they are: 1) Canyonlands, Utah - hike down into the bottom from the top, into the Maze. You will likely not see anyone. It is hard work, relatively, though as you'll need to pack the usual plus water. But no-one in a car can get close to you. Pretty astounding. 2) Everglades, Florida - the canoe trails might not be isolated any more, but Flamingo trips of a week should get you some pretty unique and isolated time. 3) Hmmm. Not sure there are any many more isolated places that I can recommend. Canada still has tons of them though, many where you might think no-one has ever trod the same ground you are trodding, and it's not so far away. Some of the very last, first-world, backcountry isolation to be had...plenty of icebergs and glaciers too to be had for yourself. Lets hope that the absolute spike in interest in outdoor adventure destinations leads to something good.

Leave the car at home.

Very helpful but 90 degrees is NOT nice weather lol. I hate anything over 75

why couldnt I get a look at the finished product?

Now you only get 1 day on the Sun rd. 😢

This is exactly the video i was looking for. Thank you for all these great tips!

I would think perhaps I could see the entire park by hiking. Of course as a volunteer working to do a citizen science project.

Typical dramatic youtuber/thumbnail. It's not overcrowded. Things are just right now with reservations. It's full for sure, but not overcrowded

Is it true that if you have a ticket for the boat tour at St Mary's Lake, then you don't need a GTSR pass?

That looks yummy and u look good too.

I use frozen water bottles in my cooler after watching another camp video, it worked great its a tip thats a keeper. Another tip i enjoyed to find was hme made fire starters.

Get out of your car and walk there's not as many people on the trail

I’ve had my q1200 for over 6 years . I absolutely love this grill !!

Thanks!

Hey I know this video is old, but my friends and I are going to Glacier in late august of this year, we have planned out everything to a T and have all the permits and things we could need. We are also early risers and plan on getting up at 5am about every morning to get to the trails, how likely is it that we will have parking problems that early in the morning?

Do I need a going to the sun pass plus vehicle registration pass to get into glacier park?

*Promo sm* ✌️

How do you think the Native Americans feel? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m just now gathering knowledge for camping. I’m rather a late, really late bloomer. Going back to your sleep system, do you recommend some kind of sleeping pad? I know that a whole lot of coldness comes up from the ground and goes right through to the bones. Especially through my 65 year old bones.

Doesn't Glacier belong to the Crow? The 100-year lease is up. That should be Crow land, right now, afaic.

Hate it when a placed is over crowed. I think more owls are the only solution.

I own that same exact jumper pack and it works great.

I bought one a few years ago and it never did work very good. It was supposed to be able to start my diesel pickup.

I have one solid tool

Hi, Planning to Ride Harley Davidson thru Going to the Sun road 3rd, August. Can't get tickets. But told does not matter if you enter after 3.00pm. ? Is this true ? Cheers Geoff

Just don’t go. We locals HATE you. Stay away.i’l. Harass you.

You’re so kind. Great video 🎉

The thing is Plummer wasn't a victim, he earned his hanging by all the horrible things he did while sheriff

Great tips! Nice video. Cool channel. New follower here. Crow✌️

Are you able to hike to Cerulean Lake? Are there any trails? I'm having a hard time finding information on it and would love to go see this area of the park.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm trying all of them. They look AMAZING!!!!

Thank you for the video.

When does the park open and close each day? Will I be able to get in free before and after the park opens on a motorcycle? I am willing to stay up all night or stick around for the park gates to close. I come from Illinois.
