[quote=Anonymous]I always recommend splitting up your stay in Glacier - stay a few nights on the West side and stay a few on the East.

West side is more populated, closer to "bigger" towns for amenities and hotel choices, restaurants. Great spot for seeing Lake McDonald, doing the Avalanche Lake hike, driving out to Polebridge and Bowman Lake or even spending time in Whitefish.

Then, spend a few nights on the East side. East side is more rural, not much in terms of services/amentiies/restaurants or even lodging choices, but you are close to the epic hikes. If you want to do those amazing likes like Grinnel Glacier, Iceberg Lake, etc, it's over a 2 hour drive ONE WAY from West Glacier to the Many Glacier area where these hiking trails are. And you need to get an early start as these hikes are long and parking is limited. So much easier to stay on the east side.

If you can't get lodging in the park, the KOAs on each side are great - I've stayed in both. You can get fully outfitted cabins if you can't bring your own linens.

But you're planning to come in June and it's a moot point because those trails likely won't be open.[/quote]
