Glacier National Park swung two gates open yesterday morning;

– One will get you full access to everything Bowman.

– the other will get you as far south as Logging Creek along the Inside NF Road.

The Bowman CG remains in primitive status ($10/night) until the water gets turned on Thursday ($15/night). The lake water is “up”.

Expect 3+ miles of post-holing snow along the Quartz Loop. The last two miles of the Numa LO Trail will also grant you a post-holing experience. The Logging Creek Trail is in pretty good condition. Bowman Head, Quartz, Lower Quartz, Logging Foot and Adair can all be placed in summer status. Grace is still under snow.

All creeks and the river are running very high. Stream crossing should be avoided if possible due to the hazard.

Logging Creek is trying to take out the roadway again south of the Logging Creek RS. Crossing that section of roadway is not advised on foot, on bike or in vehicle. So far, Logging Creek is avoiding the Logging Creek auto CG.

Kintla is not scheduled to open until June 13th.

Logging and Quartz auto campgrounds are slated to open July 1st.
