Being a somewhat obsessive/compulsive group we actually started planning our trip to Glacier in November of 1998. That meant waiting 10 whole months until our planned travel date of September 2, 1999! But we spent our time wisely -- surfing the net for prospective lodging, checking out information on trails and activities in Glacier, trying to find a reasonable airfare, and reading up on how to avoid being eaten by a Grizzly!

Right off the bat we found a cute little log cabin owned by a cattle rancher situated about 7 miles from the west entrance to the park. It was small but offered that Montana atmosphere and hint of seclusion (and a hot tub!) that we were looking for. You can check it out for yourself. Moccasin Lodge (The link to this site does not always seem to want to work, so it may be hit or miss.) At the bottom of this page you will find some additional lodging links that we utilized in our planning process.

While we packed enough to be prepared for an expedition up Mount Everest, there were just some things we couldn't fit in the suitcase. But they deserve a little "air time" too.

Despite her devil may care appearance, Callie really missed her mama!

Lucy really wanted to go and play with the bears, but she's too sweet to be eaten!

Lilly wanted to go so badly she tried to stow away in the suitcase!
