Wally this was excellent.  It brought back many memories for me and my wife.  We went there twice before we were married.  

In 1984 we were young and kinda stupid but we took the train from Chicago with only our backpacks for two weeks.  Made the BIG mistake of reading "Night of the Grizzlies" (true account of 2 girls eaten alive in 1966 at Glacier Park) on the train.  We stayed at the East Glacier Lodge then set out on what was supposed to be a three hour hike up to "scenic point."  Well, we disregarded a cowboys advice not to go because of high winds and ended up spending the night at 7,000 feet laying on our ground tarp in 70 mile an hr. gusts.

My girlfriend (now wife) sprained an ankle on the way down so we ended up hitch hiking around the park and taking those big red tour buses.  We had $3.50 to our name when it was time to leave so we bought a loaf of bread and peanut butter & jelly for the 28 hour train ride home.

The next year we drove out to Yellowstone/Glacier for 2 weeks in my Jeep wrangler.  Cody Wyoming is a great place to stop.  We were there for the 4th of July.  Went to a rodeo and saw the parade down Main St.

Thanks for the memories.  We hope to get back there real soon.   :)
