Listen, IF and I mean IF you can get a site, try Peter Lougheed Provincial park Boulton Creek, where you will have water and power and one of the most beautiful parks in N. America. You can take that back road into Canmore that is fun and the scenery down there is as good as anything in Glacier. AND you will likely see some Grizzlies. Banff Lake Louise area is beautiful except for the mass quantities of people. Peter Lougheed is a hidden gem and the Albertans will probably be mad at me for talking about it. There is also a private park down that way that isn't bad either for full hook-up and a bit closer.
My favorite "scary" experience. Going to one of those lakes up there in May and watching a couple of busloads of tourists from a different part of the world walk out on the melting ice shelf and start jumping up and down...in unison. Little waves moved out into the lake... I was wondering what they hoped would happen and wondered if anyone was extrapolating outcomes? The laws of physics are immutable. I mean like a hundred people out there. I remember me and this Texan standing there looking at each other with wide eyes and me saying somebody is going to die. I tried to talk to someone and they didn't understand me and took a picture of me in my USMC boonie. Really... The facilities were not open yet so no Rangers and no signal so we jumped in the truck and fortunately ran into a LEO a few miles down the road. I told him and his face got white and he jumped in his car and took off like a bat out of heck... Well, I never read any stories in the press about it so, I guess it worked out... To be honest, all of U.S. and Canadians were standing there holding our collective breath and praying... Everybody else was having a good ole time...
