Below right: This Historic Red Bus of Glacier National Park was built by the
White Motor Company in the 1930's, then rebuilt in 2001 to run on propane.
A fleet of these vintage motor
coaches provide tours and shuttle services in the park. Reader
Mark Nave was a jammer (driver) of the Red Bus in the 1970's and he
sent me the following anecdote in 2008:
" Tom:
Your photo images of Glacier are fabulous and bring back fond memories of my
three summers working out there in the park in the mid-seventies... Back in the day, the bus was always called a “Red” for
obvious reasons and the driver was a
“Jammer” because
of the way they were able
to shift the gears on these old
1930’s chassis White Motor Company buses that (in
the seventies) seemed to be kept just operational enough to get the
tourists
safely over Logan Pass and around the park. I was a jammer for two
summers and
once had my clutch go out at Logan Pass. I had to offload my 'peeps'
and make sure they had an alternate ride to their destination and wait
for the head mechanic to drive from East Glacier to rescue the bus and
me. Bud
the mechanic wisely drove the bus back to the garage. It is interesting
how names can evolve, though, as many of my fellow (especially
non-transport) workers were already beginning to call the red buses
jammer
buses 30 (ouch!) years ago. Thanks for the pictures. Keep taking them!

Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park is a World Heritage Site containing the following two parks:
- Glacier National Park, Montana, USA (this page). Image gallery of 120 Glacier National Park images from 2007.
- Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, CANADA.
These
wonderful parks offer some of the best mountain scenery in the world,
ripe for nature walks, day hikes, and backpacking trips. I am delighted by the
fantastic
and colorful rock patterns at every scale, from inches to miles,
throughout these parks. Your chances are very good for seeing
wild animals
such as mountain goats,
deer, marmots, ptarmigan.

Hiking Tips

Park", from The Mountaineers Books (2003 edition).

Right: Baring Creek tumbles over red and yellow rocks, a short hike from Lake Saint Mary on the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, Montana.
Weather
If Logan Pass is closed, driving around the south end of
Glacier NP on Highway 2 takes only an extra 30 minutes, by
way of East Glacier, to West Glacier.

Day Hikes
Check trail status at:
www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/trailstatusreports.htm
Tom's PRIORITY KEY for hikes below: ***best. **excellent. *good if
you have extra time. In addition to hikes below, many short hikes are available, with waterfalls,
views, geology and so forth. Rainy day activities include waterfall hikes,
games, or a good book.
West Glacier area
- **
Bowman Lake, Numa Ridge Lookout (11.4
mi round trip, 2935 ft). "Magnificent grandeur of Bowman Valley &
jade colored Bowman Lake..." Drive
21 miles from Apgar to Polebridge, via Camas Road, to the "Outside
North Fork Road" of which 11 miles are bumpy gravel. (Don't
take the "Inside Road", which is very slow &
bumpy, almost 4wd). From Polebridge, drive 6 miles gravel
road to the trailhead at Bowman Lake Campground.

Right: Rockwell Falls on Cobalt Creek, on the hike to Cobalt Lake, in
the Two Medicine Lake area of Glacier National Park.
- ** Upper
Two Medicine Lake (9.4 miles round trip, 370
feet gain)
- * Cobalt
Lake (11.4 miles round trip, 1400 feet gain) good viewpoints, attractive Rockwell
Falls, colorful rocks, beautiful lake, beaver ponds, meadows. With
extra energy, hike Two Medicine Pass (4.4 miles round trip, 830 feet, from Cobalt Lake)
for "commanding view" of neighboring Paradise Park and Park
Creek drainage.
- Short
hikes:
- Running Eagle Falls
(0.6 miles round trip)
- Paradise Point
(1.2 miles round trip) scenic peninsula that juts into Two Medicine Lake
- Aster Falls (2.4
miles round trip)
Going-to-the-Sun Road area
- ***
Siyeh Pass (10.3 miles traverse one
way with shuttle, 2390 up, 3300 down) (or
9.4 mi round trip without shuttle, 2390 feet gain).
High alpine scenery. Open
8/9/07. Or even better to hike the
following:
- ***
Piegan Pass (13 miles traverse one way
with shuttle, 1720 feet up) via Grinnell Lake & Josephine
Lake to Swiftcurrent Lake trailhead. Same trailhead as Siyeh Pass,
at Siyeh Bend.
- *
Otokomi Lake (10 mi round trip, 1900 ft)
Deep red rocks, green forest, colorful scenery. Start at Rising Sun Campground. Open 8/9/07.
- **
Gunsight Lake (12.6 miles round trip; 1700
feet gain): popular day hike. Start at Jackson Glacier turnout, 4.9 miles
east of Logan Pass. "Views of glaciers and mountains fill the
horizon."
- ***
Hidden Lake (6 mi round trip, or shorter
if you don't descend to lake, 1200 ft). We hiked this in 2002 -- one of our favorite hikes in
the world -- well worth hiking again, this time in blue sky weather. "The parking lot at Logan Pass usually
fills between the hours of 10:00am to 2:00pm, though this can
vary during peak weekends." Logan Pass (6,646 feet) is 32
miles from the west entrance and 18 miles from the east
entrance.
- *** Swiftcurrent
Pass
(15.2 miles one way, backpacked in two days, 1400 feet gain, car
shuttle) via Garden Wall (which can also be hiked 11.8 mi, 800 ft, one
way with shuttle; plus 1200-ft, 2-mile side trip to spectacular Grinnel
Lake overlook) "If you just have one day in the park, hike this".
Swiftcurrent Pass can also be day hiked 1 to 15 miles round trip, from
zero or 3500 feet gain. Hiking up 2300 feet gains you a sufficiently
good view.
- ***
Iceberg Lake (9.4 miles RT, 1220 ft) (see
also Ptarmigan Tunnel) Ice bergs in milky blue lake below 3000-foot
cliffs. TRAIL OPEN - 8/8/07. 4.8 miles roun trip to junction above Ptarmigan Falls, plus 4.6 miles RT
to Iceberg Lake.
- ** Ptarmigan Tunnel (11.2 miles RT, 2315 ft) (see
also Iceberg Lake) Fun tunnel, spectacular scenery. 4.8 miles round trip
to junction above Ptarmigan Falls, plus 5.2 miles round trip to Tunnel.
- ***
Cracker Lake
(11.2 mi RT, 1140 ft) Most eye-catching turquoise lake in park;
3000-foot cliffs; nice waterfalls. TRAIL OPEN from Cracker Flats to
Cracker Lake 8/2/07.
- ***
Grinnel Glacier (7.6 miles with boat rt, 11
miles without, 1700 ft) Gets close to the glacier, plus outstanding
scenery. Open 7/13/07. Or
hike Grinnel Lake, best via Piegan Pass traverse (above).
- ** Carthew
Traverse (12 miles one way, 2300 ft,
car shuttle) We loved this so much in 2002, we may hike it again.
High alpine lakes, meadows, waterfalls. (Stays within Canada; no boat
required.)
- *
Bertha Lake (8.6 mi rt, 1542 ft)
"Beautiful subalpine lake". Falls.
- *
Goat Lake (8 mi, 984 ft rt) "Pretty
area". This trail starts at the exceptionally colorful Red Rock
Canyon (which has a nice short nature trail, seen in 2002).
- Goat
Haunt (2-12 miles round trip, 1000
ft gain). Requires boat ride on Waterton Lakefrom Canada into USA (&
back). Bring USA passports. In 2002, this boat ride was not very scenic
in the opinion of Carol and I -- * you probably need to hike or backpack
into the mountains for better views. (Must get backcountry permit in
Glacier NP, not Waterton.) The commercial boat (403) 859-2362 down
Waterton Lake (Canada) to Goat Haunt, USA, may be cancelled, but
other boats may run. Must leave Waterton dock by 4pm sailing to enable
check in to US customs at Goat Haunt between 9am-5:30pm. Click here for latest
Goat Haunt trail info from Glacier NP. At Goat Haunt you can do any or
all of the following:
- Day hikes from Goat Haunt: several "excellent
hikes" 2-12 miles, and/or
- camp overnight at open-sided shelters at the Goat
Haunt boat dock, without having to carry a pack, or
- backpack from Goat Haunt: Lake Francis 12.4 miles
round trip, 1000 ft, plus optional 8 mile rt day extension to Brown Pass
where "views are tremendous"
Backpacking
Check weather and reserve backcountry campsites
at 8:00am, one day in advance, at
the following offices: St. Mary Visitor Center, Two Medicine Ranger Station, Many Glacier
RS, Polebridge RS, or Apgar Visiter Center. Popular campsites may be
hard to get. Backpacking permit fees = $5 per person per night in 2007. Advance

rhizomes (roots). "Tenu" is Latin for "thin" or "slender" and "petalum"
is Greek for "a leaf" or "spread out flat" and refers to the spreading
leaves.

Backpack from Logan Pass to Garden Wall to Swiftcurrent Creek to Many Glacier
Starting

Highline Trail along the Garden Wall to Granite Park, camped overnight
(reservation required), then hiked over Swiftcurrent Pass and down the
Swiftcurrent Valley to Many Glacier (15.2 miles one way, in two days,
1400 feet gain, with a car shuttle). Plus we dropped packs and hiked a
2-mile side trip up 1200 feet to spectacular Grinnel Lake Overlook. You
