2021 Glacier National Park - Tips and Tricks

• Make sure you get your park entry permit before booking flights. I didn't find out about the entry permits until much too late, but you can do better than I did
• An SUV is essential. Being able to get to Bowman Lake/Kintla Lakes was well worth it.
• Book a few nights on the East side of the park to get access to Many Glacier area as well
• I wish the Canadian border was open. Try to wait for it to be open before going.
• After all these years, Glacier National Park is still my favorite park (by far) in the continental USA. It's the closest thing to the alps. It's being loved to death, and park employees tell me that what used to the shoulder season is now still busy. It's still one of the few places in the USA that doesn't make me think: "I should be in the Alps instead."
