Montana has always been a popular destination for family road trips, but seeing this video from 1947 is the BEST. (We enjoyed the "hiking in dresses" look.)
Glacier National Park is beautiful in pictures, but everyone should see it in person. Enjoy camping and hiking surrounded by some of the most beautiful backdrop in America.
Rules about passes and reservations in our National Parks have become pretty confusing, and the details can change every year. Glacier National Park in Montana has it's own set of reservation challenges, making vacation planning somewhat difficult.
Another powerful storm is headed for some Montana mountain ranges and the heavy, wet snow is still desperately needed. Several of Montana's basins are nowhere near their median water equivalent for the season, with some at only HALF the typical snowpack.
East Glacier in northern Montana is still in a severe deficit with their snowpack. Not all of Montana is in trouble, but thankfully up to 8" of fresh snow should hit the East Glacier basin area by Friday morning. Currently, their snowpack is about 60% of average.
