We are starting to planning our trip to Glacier National Park in August. Currently the only thing we have set in stone is the first 2 nights at Many Glacier Hotel. I have to check into the backcountry permit and sites. We would like to hike to Cracker Lake for the night and also up to Granite Park Chalet for another night. Day hikes to Ice Berg Lake and Hidden Lake are also on the agenda. We were also thinking about some horseback riding but we will have to see if we have enough time.
The last time we went was back in August of 2003, the west side of the park was closed because of wildfires. We managed to do a day hike to Otokomi Lake which is inspiring us to do more backcountry hiking this time around. I'll keep the blog up to date with the planning of this years trip.

I hope it's not a bad fire season again this year! We don't want your lungs filled with ash from all that hiking :) Sounds like a great trip. I have heard Many Glacier hotel highly recommended and always wanted to stay there.
I can't wait to stay at Many Glacier! I would have LOVED to hiked in and stayed at the Granite Chalet but you have to book that in Oct. for the next year.
