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

The campground don't open until June (some not until July) and they close down starting the first of September and completely by mid September. Going to the Sun Road is undergoing a massive renovation and it takes 2-1/2 months to clear the snow in the spring so it is very limited for vehicular traffic as they want to give the construction crews time to work.
With the compressed season of two months it is going to be crowded in the campgrounds. If you are willing to hike you can get away from most of the people. Another option is Waterton National Park in Canada.
On the shoulder seasons, as with Yellowstone, you need to stay outside the park and drive in each day. This is not all that difficult and the distances are not that great from the towns.
