West Glacier North American Verizon 4G Question

Last time we stayed at the park North American a few years ago Verizon only had 3G service and it was hampered by a small hill between the sites and the tower. Anyone visit this park last year and have any feedback on the quality of Verizon 4G at the park?

We would much rather stay here over the KOA (KOA offers no discounts for monthly rates = low end $65 per night ouch).

    I agree as we stayed here just three weeks ago and really enjoyed it. We had planned to stay at Spruce on the River as they were holding the water from the river back so did not want to take a chance. Rocky Mountain Hi has an open field with large pull troughs. What a beautiful view of the mountains. Kalipsell is a really nice large town.
  • We just stayed at Mountain Meadows last week and the signal was strong enough to stream Netflix on my iPad using a Verizon MiFi.
  • Spoke to the park direct and the woman that answered confirmed that 4G is there and is fast even with the hill between the location and tower.

    according to their website, Verizon now has 4G service at that address. 2 years ago we stayed at Mountain Meadows and had the same problem. We were in the valley and the mountains were between us and the tower. The park used a booster for cell calls. I now have the Wilson Sleek booster and it works both on my cell phone and on my Mi-Fi. Walmart about $100. Get the suction cup window mount and the taller antenna for a few dollars more. I haven't used the Sleek in MT yet but it's worked everywhere else and it is similar to what Mountain Meadows used.
