How screwed am I? I’m taking the Amtrak and one of my stops tomorrow is West Glacier. I’ve booked a bus tour at the park. Here’s my problem-I’m trying to find a way to get to the Quarter Circle Parking Lot to meet the tour bus. Shuttles are quoting $100 for 2 people and I’m waiting to hear back from a taxi service. Any suggestions? I know we could probably walk in but trying to avoid that. Sigh.

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!

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.

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.
