Well I marked off vacation and was able to take 20 days beginning July 17. Would love to make our trip to glacier this year. I believe I'd like to stay on west side and spend little time around kalispel and flathead valley. I guess does anyone have suggestions for campground? Also thinking of taking northerly route over and little more southerly route coming back. Any attractions? Also I'd like to make daily drives not much more than 6 hours. That makes 5 days there and back. I'd like some campgrounds and some just parking. Any thoughts on places to stay?

Couple of things come to mind - #1 Avoid Chicago - #2 Try to leave right after work to start the trip - this "Extra Day" will pay off big later in the trip. #3 Custer/Mt Rushmore will be a good stop/drive through on the way out #4 Enjoy Glacier #5 Head South possibly Flaming Gorge/Dino NM #6 Maybe a little drive through Colorado to see things for the next trip #7 Home on Rt 36 above the I-70 madness #8 Take two pictures every time you think one will do, the memories are in the Pictures. #9 Good Boots - Good Rain Gear - Good Camera = Good Trip

Long trip - Lot's of Miles - Great Mountains/Rock's/Lakes - Might require a few longer days in the saddle - You will never forget it - You will be Back! - Once you hit the Rockies IMHO there are no wrong roads.

Between Ohio and Custer there are a lot of long driving days.

Sorry I did not answer the CG question, but we seldom head to a CG - more of a get me to the National Park or Monument.


Best of Luck,
