[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are supposed to travel to Glacier this summer but I’m trying to come up with a back up plan. And the trip is expensive! [/quote]

I am sorry- it's an incredibly beautiful place, hope you can eventually go.[/quote]

Yes, it's definitely worth seeing, but it's also pretty remote.  My understanding is that the concessions are run by contracts, so hotels and restaurants should be open.  [/quote]

There is an airport 30 minutes from the West Glacier entrance.  There are multiple daily flights there from Salt Lake City, Denver and Minneapolis, and summer time flights also from Chicago and New York.

If you read the linked article from the OP, there are a lot of support jobs that are seasonal NPS staff, that have not been exempted yet.  You may also have concessionaires dropping out because they are unsure of payment or performance by NPS.  Would you risk bringing on a bunch of employees and buying hundreds of thousands of dollars of supplies when "Big Balls" may go into the Treasury system and decide your payment should be deleted?
