I reserved everything in January; some areas were tough to get, so we're camping right outside and not in, Glacier NP. Sleeping in the van. Flying the kids out to meet us for the week at Glacier.3 weeks sound great.
A few more questions if you don't mind. How far in advance did you have to reserve your camp site? Which campground? Tent camping? Grizzly precautions taken?
Our neighbor went last summer and showed me their bear spray and holsters. I can imagine being charge by a grizzly and spraying Raid at it.. He and his wife are not really hikers and I doubt they went anywhere away from crowds. We go on pretty long hikes (max about 12 miles out and back). I think you'd have to be prepared for an encounter.
They went in an RV. He said it was in the 20'sand 30's every night. Brrrly. We camped once when it unexpectedly got into the 20's. Woke up to find every liquid frozen solid. I learned to always have water in a pot or coffee maker ready to put on the stove in the morning.
ps will be expecting pics.
We are doing 4 nights in Grand Teton (Gros Ventre campground), 4 nights in Yellowstone (Canyon Campground, maybe
), night in Missoula, 4 at Glacier, a couple in Idaho, 3 in Portland, and a couple on the way home.My wife is anti it, but I bought some bear spray. Weather looks good, so far, this far out. Nights in the 40's. Days in the 80's. We'll see...
