Anyone been to Glacier? Planning a 5-6 day backcountry trip there in a few weeks. Want to know:
>How did you get there?
>Did you try the backcountry permit lottery? (already pretty slammed)
And other general impressions and tips.

Anon, I grew up there. Feel free to ask away.
If you can't get a permit, GNP has some great car camping. You can also look for forest service rentals up the north fork.
I took the train there. Walked, hitchhiked, and took the shuttle to get around. Walkin permits were easy to get for everything except the popular overnight spots. Definitely carry bear spray.
