Well-known member
friends are planning a backpacking trip, and one of the options near the top of the food chain is Glacier National Park in Montana
http://www.nps.gov/glac
i visited Glacier a few years ago, but didn't do much hiking on that trip ... we scored backcountry permits but didn't get to use them ... i think they were near Sperry Chalet and Gunsight Lake, towards the southern half of the park:

just wondering if anyone has advice on great day hikes or backpacking options in or near Glacier NP ? we talked to folks who had backpacked near the northern end of the park and saw grizzlies
other options on this trip could be Yellowstone, Tetons, Granite Peak, etc
