We will be staying our full 7 nights on the west side inside the park however we will have a car. Plan to fly to Spokane and drive in. Not everyone is a hiker and we were considering a day of white water rafting.
Would you suggestion anything different on your current 7 day itinerary if you are on the west side?
Thanks
Tina

Glacier Park Village runs a shuttle service for $15 from East Glacier Park Village to Two Medicine (separate from the park-run shuttle). That seems to be the best option, but I’m not positive that it is running this year, so I’d recommend calling to ask.

Hi Lauren! Some of my favorite longer hikes in the park are the Highline Trail, Grinnell Glacier, Iceberg Lake, and Ptarmigan Tunnel. For a 1-2 night backpacking trip, I’d recommend breaking up the Dawson-Pitamakan Loop into an overnight trip! For gear rentals, I’d recommend checking out Glacier Guides.

Hi Earl! Going-to-the-Sun will be open in both July and August, but all visitors are required to make a ticketed entry reservation. I have a whole post on that topic for this year 🙂

As for the RV, they are allowed on certain parts of Going-to-the-Sun Road: between Apgar and Avalanche Creek on the west side and St. Mary to Rising Sun on the east side. Between Avalanche Creek and St. Mary, RVs over 21 feet in length or over 8 feet in width are not allowed due to the windy roads. RV Camping is only allowed is designated campgrounds, not on full offs along the way. Hope that’s helpful!

thank you thank you for the very comprehensive guide. Wish I had discovered this when i first started planning. Do you have ant suggestions regarding how to get from the train station at East Glacier to the boat dock at Two Medicine Lake, when the park service is not running shuttles?

This is extremely helpful. I am going with three girls for a week in August. We are looking for longer hikes and a night or two backpacking. Any suggestions? Also, any suggestions on where to rent camping gear? Thanks!

Can you drive an RV up there? Do you have to stay in a campground with an RV or can you pull off somewhere for the evening? Thanks Earl
