Hey everyone, my name is Jacob W. Frank, aka Ranger Jake, and I am lucky enough to work as the visual information specialist at Glacier National Park in Montana. Interior thought it might be cool for me to take over its Instagram account today and share ranger tips on how to make a trip to Glacier memorable. Let’s get started:
Tip: Get into the Backcountry
Some places are too hard to reach during those golden hours without having to hike in the dark. The better solution is to backcountry camp. Yes it’s slower, heavier, and more of a challenge logistically with permits and planning, but sticking your head out of a tent with a view like this from Cracker Lake or any one of the other 60+ backcountry sites makes everything worthwhile. Backcountry camping also allows you to see some places that might be too far to hike in a single day. 🏃
