If you camp at Cut Bank Campground, a 1973 Ford LTD will arrive about dark and 9 Blackfeet Indians will get out of it, build a big fire, get drunk and be loud all night.
One of them thinks everything anybody says is funny and will repeatedly beller out, "HAW-HAW-HAWWWWWWWW!" over and over again.

The pumps are Polebridge Mercantile *are* functional and have gas in them.
Don't ask about that either. Great bakery at Polebridge. Home bottom Ranch has a cool bar with great food. Pictures are there from the damage a Grizzly did breaking into the place. Good Huckleberry pie there too!

Have some wild huckleberry pie .Best pie in the world. I never noticed any thing with the locals, Always nice and helpful. I guess because I'm Canuck.
We have 20' travel trailer and prefer more rustic camping, Glacier wasn't that great, we were on the east side.

Well,...it's been 40 years since I've been there. Maybe the locals are nicer now.

Glacier Park *is* outrageously beautiful. My first wife and I spent over a week there in 1980 and hiked all day every day.
Then two people got et by a bear so we left.

Did somebody mention Polebridge?  You will find yummy pastries here.... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/8Cm16ssD/IMG-0287.jpg) Oh and Bowman lake... this is a favorite spot of mine. I must disagree with Jeff on camping at this location, they have a nice and relatively large campground in close proximity to the lake. I recommend taking a kayak. The campground is first come first served, the trick is to be there no later than 10;00am , people will be leaving and you will have a choice of spots. Great hiking trails around Bowman also. I would skip Kintla, tiny campground and limited views. Bowman.... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/x17s3PJ3/IMG-0450.jpg) Polebridge Mercantile is indeed a wonderful place to stop - rather out-of-the-way up the North Fork - but the cookies and pies are delicious. Stopped there in 2004, following a reunion in Missoula and, had cherry pie and a soft drink on the porch. Lots of memories. Thanks for posting the picture.

As noted, that road is crowded and the going slow in season.
Half the Park does lie in Canada, I don't know how that figures if you have firearms with you.
FALSE None of the park is in Canada. You can't drive across by accident. This is an incredibly ignorant comment. I wouldn't think it rated "incredibly ignorant", the park does lie right on the Border adjoining both major Canadian National and Provincial Parks right across the Line, same difference, I doubt there's a fence. I didn't say you could "accidentally drive across", but didn't someone on this very thread mention crossing over? Anyhoo... IIRC the Visitor Center atop Logan Pass flies both US and Canuck Flags (I dont recall any other). Just by chance I did capture the Canadian flag they have flying when taking a photo of these two ground squirrels (marmots??) near the parking lot. ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49934835168_a3e2c9416b_z.jpg) I dunno, maybe we was just sucking up to the Canadians. I did run into a LOT of Canadians in Yellowstone and Glacier.... seems like they headed south to find balmier climes Classic Birdfugker. Dumb as ever.

If you eat at a restaurant and see "Jo-Jo's" on the menu,..they're fried potatoes. Don't ask the waitress. She'll have a fit if you don't know what a Jo-Jo is.
In fact, the locals have a fit if a tourist says anything to them. I think it's some kind of local hobby to mean mouth the tourists. Which century did this take place?

Fun trip to Montana
You could spend two days in the park.
Take care 2 days? I could have up to 8 days available......... You could look at other things I put in my post.

You can carry in any National Park, That law came into effect under the rule of a president no one likes.

MT law for concealed carry, you only need a CCW in towns, railroad or lumber camps. Open carry OK. It's only a violation in those places if the gun is actually on your person, out of sight in a vehicle is also OK. By case law, a woman (or presumably, a funny-boy) carrying in a purse in the aforementioned places is not a violation.
