No clue as to why.
COVID has hit NPS and other CG hard. We appear to have lost westernrvparkowner who ran a campground in the West Glacier/ Columbia Falls area. People argued which his descriptions of the economics of running a short season high use area campground with COVID restrictions and the shortened park seasons last year.
While we disagreed on many things, his expertise in that area exceeds anyone I've seen on this forum.
Maybe Glacier has such issues also. I've heard unofficially from some of my park volunteer friends that NPS parks were having trouble with getting enough volunteers, some concessionaires with getting enough summer season employees, because everyone decided to go elsewhere with all the we will open on this date, no we can't, maybe this date stuff.
The Yellowstone Fishing Bridge rebuild project did basically nothing last year due to COVID restrictions, and shortened season. Thus the park is closed now for what, the third straight year?
