We will be heading to Glacier National Park in mid to late September so I'm asking anyone who has been there for lodging information that's pet friendly and the must see sites. We will have at least two weeks if necessary to see whatever there is to see. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

the only thing that I will tell you is that if you don't already have lodging then you need to find whatever is available and get it.

You may want to contact Aspenwood Resort. Teri is now running a B&B just outside the park, Styed twice and highly recommend it. Teri <aspenwood@3rivers.net> 406-338-3009

Thank you so much for your response and information. I will call her this morning.

A. T.

Absolutely, we've been actively searching.

Make surevyoubcheck on your lodging. Some years ago I went to Glacier. Lodging was available but most of the restaurants were cutting back for the end of the season, so food was sparce.

A. T.

We take out food with us so that won't be an issue but thanks for the heads-up.

Be aware that sometime in September is when the Going to the Sun Road is closed for the winter. Check with the National Park Service website: https://www.nps.gov/glac/index.htm. That depends on the snowfall, so you may be allowed over the mountain if they've not had too much snow.

My wife and I went in the end of Sepy and stayed at Many Glacier Hotel and it was fantastic. Big fireplaces in the huge lobby and Young people who had worked there during the summer entertaining us with music and some great stories. I heartily reccomend Many Glacier Lodge. We were sitting there listening to this guy play guitar and singing and I looked over at my wife and she was crying because she had never experienced anything like this herself. Her family never went on a vacation, ever.

I worked there for the NPS and grew up nearby. September is a perfect time to go. I used to spend an anniversary weekend in early October and have been there during every month. Any road you drive and any trail you hike will provide photo opportunities. I am partial to the East side of the park because of the long vistas. The trees aren’t as thick. Many Glacier mentioned earlier is a favorite. We called it “Many Bears” because they like that area. Camping there was hard side only, no tents. I didn’t have enough money for a telephoto back then. It was a day hike to Iceberg lake and the continental divide. Lots of goats in the high country back then and I assume still are. Jon Erdman (so) on this site would be a source for current info. He posts some fabulous photos here. Also Cindy Houk. Lots of guidebooks available I suspect. The going to the Sun road should still be open. We used to talk with people from the flatlands who were terrified of the drive. You may want to take part of the vacation in Canada at Watertown National park, the analog to Glacier but in Canada. Don’t forget the passport if you want to go up there. Enjoy, it is a spectacular place

Be aware that Glacier now requires vehicle permits per day for different zones within the park. Need to have these in in advance. Glacier is no longer an easy place to visit.

Okay, we will certainly be on the lookout for that and will plan accordingly, thanks.

A. T.

Thanks but they are not pet friendly. That is the place that my son and daughter-in-law stayed when they were there.

A. T.

Thanks for the wonderful information. My son and daughter-in-law stayed at Many Glacier it's just not pet friendly. We will keep looking for lodging.
