Glacier national park, best months?

One of our "must see" national parks is Glacier. What are the best months to go? We don't really like crowds and aren't afraid of cold weather. (but rain is no good)

Any help is appreciated

    May is too early as many of the roads won't be open, in fact Going to the Sun Road isn't open yet, (getting close though)the end of June/ early July will probably find everything open, Plus all the water falls will be prettier, as snow run off will still be rather high.
    September will find the kids back in school, but depending on the weather, you will not be able to drive the entire road after September 21st.

    No news flash here.
    Avoid times when school is out. June through August.
    May and September are our favorite times to go camping at the major tourist places.
