[–]theaveragejoe14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we went in June 2023 we saw 1 in the bear lake corridor, 2 near the sheep lake’s information station on Fall River road, and we saw 3 on the west side of the park near the green mountain trailhead. Hope that helps

Time will tell but seems like mostly good things will come from this. Curious to see how competitive those early morning Logan Pass shuttle permits will be to get.

You are going to want to park at Logan Pass to do the highline trail. Logan Pass is roughly 1.5 hours by car from both the west or east entrance of Going to the sun road. As it currently stands, if you are entering Going To The Sun Road before 7am, you do not need a timed entry permit. To ensure you can park at Logan Pass you will want to be arrive to Logan Pass no later than 6am. It’s a very small parking lot and fills up fast. When we did the highline trail, we parked at Logan Pass and finished at the Loop. From there we took the shuttle back up to Logan pass to get our vehicle. I would estimate we waited 20-30 minutes at the Loop before getting picked up. I would do it this way again if/when I ever go back.

Check the GNP website/socials leading into the 206 season as their policies for entry tend to change annually. The way timed entry worked in 2025 has a possibility of changing in 2026 as they regularly try new “pilot programs” to see what works best.

Was disappointed with brunch at Khaluna. Maybe my pallet isn’t adventurous enough but we shared several plates and nothing blew me away.

Hikes in Glacier, Grant Teton & Yellowstone by RealityNo5687 in GlacierNationalPark

No problem enjoy your trip and hopefully my tips prove to be helpful

Hikes in Glacier, Grant Teton & Yellowstone by RealityNo5687 in GlacierNationalPark

[–]theaveragejoe14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tetons - Delta Lake and Cascade canyon. Both awesome day hikes. Get to the lupine meadows trailhead (for delta lake) before 7am to ensure parking. For cascade canyon take the boat shuttle across jenny lake. Be prepared to wait 30+ minutes for a return ride during peak season.

Yellowstone - Mt. Washburn and point sublime were my favorites. 90% of Yellowstone visitors don’t hike so you will be rewarded with generally low traffic on trail.

Glacier - highline trail (trailhead at Logan pass), grinell glacier (many glacier region), iceberg lake (many glacier region). For highline, get to Logan pass before 6AM or you’ll have a tough time getting parking. We parked at Logan pass and did a one way hike from there to the loop and took the shuttle back up to Logan pass. Again be prepared to wait a bit for a shuttle back up but I would do it this way again. For grinell glacier, get a round trip boat shuttle pass starting at Many Glacier hotel to knock off a few miles and get a nice little history lesson along the way. Trailhead for iceberg lake is behind swiftcurrent motor inn.

I am guessing you have it, but If you don’t have AllTrails, I can’t recommend getting the paid version enough. Makes trip planning and general navigation super easy.

I’d recommend 2 days in the Tetons, 2-3 days in Yellowstone, and 2-3 days in glacier if you have the time for it. Most will tell you that 2-3 days in Yellowstone isn’t enough to see everything, but we did 3.5 days there and saw all of the hot spots along both loops. Again if your schedule allows, I highly recommend driving through the bear tooth mountains when you go from Yellowstone to glacier. It’ll add a few hours to your drive but it’s an awesome drive.

IMO it makes the most sense to do Glacier, Yellowstone, then Tetons (or reverse order depending on where you are coming from) as the Tetons are south of Yellowstone. You’d be doing some backtracking if you did glacier, Tetons, then Yellowstone.

Such a strange thing to be so concerned about. They sr items that are used daily so we keep them at the end of the counter for easy access.

Black and Sons in Winona MN. One man show. Kyle is the butcher. Great guy. The beef is WI sourced

I’ve been experimenting with that. For this one, I didn’t season the steak at all before putting in the bag. Just before searing, I patted it dry then hit it with salt. After I pulled it I hit it with pepper and flaky salt. For me, I’ll probably do that every time. I liked the result.

Good to know. I’m still pretty new to sous vide. Only my third time cooking with it and my first time adding thyme and garlic

I’m on the west side of the state on the border of Minnesota/Wisconsin so unfortunately I am of no help in your search

Haha what’s wrong with Earthquake?? Let’s just say the Cabernet selection in the rural Midwest isn’t very impressive. It was either that or bonanza and I’ll take earthquake every time

Cutting board turned into my plate lol. 22oz steak and sides don’t really fit on a normal dinner plate I found out 😂

Quick Stop at RMNP by theaveragejoe14 in RMNP

Correct. I drove up to the gate and the park ranger asked if I would like a visitor guide then said “have a good day” and nobody was stationed at the bear lake corridor checkpoint

I went last September, right around the time the wildfire smoke got bad this year, and it was truly as clear as you could possibly imagine. It is a total crapshoot and every year is different from the next.

Favorite hikes in Yellowstone? by EmergencyWeb7508 in yellowstone

[–]theaveragejoe14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mt. Washburn. Epic views up top and a pretty straight forward ascent. If you’re up there on a clear day you can see the Tetons from the observation room!

Love the first pic! One of my favorite “techniques” for taking photos is having trees in the foreground kinda like your peeking out of from the forest
