We were there a couple years ago, and stayed at Many Glacier Lodge.....It was FANTASTIC!!!!!

We were there at the end of July, and the weather was absolutely wonderful. The daytime highs were upper 60's to mid 70's.....nights were in the 50's to 60's (IIRC : )

It was by far the best trip we ever took! I want to go back there sometime.....hopefully soon!!!

The "Jammers" were super.....our driver was very knowledgable and told all about the natural wonders, as well as the history of the park and the lodges.

When we left there, we crossed over into Canada and went to Banff, Lake Louise, and the ice fields. We took a "snow coach" onto Athabasca Glacier, and got to get out and wonder around the glacier.....and get a drink of glacier water if you wanted to.

The whole trip was THE BEST!!!
