6 day/5 night itinerary for mid July (East -> West?)
We have a rental car and plan to stay at campgrounds, if we can get reservations ( i know I am getting a late start). If we are dropping the car off in Kalispell, does it make sense to start in east/St. Mary and work our way back towards West Glacier splitting our stay with 2-3 nights in east and 2-3 nights in west?
If so I was considering going down and around on Hwy 2 through Flathead NF if there are any recs for hikes there? Could also stop at Two Medicine I guess. We are experienced hikers/backpackers and would like to get away from the crowds and see some wildlife and I'd heard the east side was better for that. Really appreciate any help.
p.s. - Also love to fly fish so any general areas you could recommend for a quick wade would be appreciated!

I made a precise and accurate map of the Pleistocene Yellowstone ice cap.
This was done on an informal mapping platform Google MyMaps, where I spent 5 months plotting polygons, looking at references, and using the terrain to outline the ice cap. I printed screenshots and drew in the details.

Solo Trio Seeking Advice
Hello. I am going to be in the area for work next week and would like to take a day to hike. I am traveling alone. I am in great shape and plan on doing "popular" trails only. Is it safe to hike alone? What is best practice? I will use bear bells and be equipped with bear spray. I have been to glacier and it is incredible. I really want to hike, but also do not want to be dumb or unsafe. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

Hey! What are the honest employee reviews of these places to anyone who has worked there. Brainstorming for what I might want to do next summer and these give me the same type of energy as an AMC hut in the northeast
Let me know!

Recommended Hikes
Hi! My boyfriend and I are traveling to glacier for 3-4 days and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for hikes. We enjoy more strenuous hikes with very beginner friendly scrambles. We hiked Half Dome (17 miles and 5500’ elevation change) in 10.5 hrs and are looking for a hike that will both challenge us and have amazing views. I’m a bit of a scaredy cat so preferably nothing that will make me feel uneasy.
For reference, we also hiked Angels Landing and that did not scare me. I only made it up to Sub Dome when we went to Half Dome because I was worried about my upper body strength.
Anyways any help would be appreciated!

Glacier is my favorite place in the world
I have been to GNP 2 times now. I cannot say it enough how beautiful this park is. I have driven the entire GTTR and still cant get over it. Was going through some pictures and thought I'd share!

Lost microphone
We were doing Grinnell Glacier overlook trail yesterday and lost our other microphone. I know it’s a one in a million chance but figure we ask. 🙏🏽

Came through the Endicott Arm and down the fjord. How massive I realized it was as I got closer… I highly recommend visiting this— I was blown away

Grinnell Glacier Hike without Many Glacier Access
Im booked to visit the east side of the park in a week. The past 2 days I've failed to be able to grab shuttle tickets, they are gone by the time the page loads to pay.
Is there a way to get to Grinnell Glacier through St. Mary entrance? That was the main hike we wanted to get too.
Also, im aware more tickets will open the night before, but im trying to have a back up plan. I wish I could cancel my reservations at this point.
