It will help you determine which areas to stay and how many days to obtain lodging.

Yes! Glacier is tricky to plan because many areas of the park will stay closed until the snow is cleared, including the Going to the Sun Road. If that is the case, you can still transition between the East and West areas of the park on highway 2.
My husband Dave will be turning 50 in August & Montana was his 50th state. We took three weeks June 16th-July 6th and hit Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Grand Teton National Park. We found your channel while we were researching the trip and purchased your guides and Audio tours. We enjoyed the history and stories as we listened and drove through the parks. The pdf files were so helpful in planning for each park and our days went smoothly. We adjusted as needed. We shared your channel and website with several people along the way. We had the most epic road trip from Texas to Montana and back home to the heat of Texas. We traveled 5,240 miles in 20 days! Thanks for what you do!
