Would you help me get started on planning an anniversary trip next August please? I’d like to drive in from the east and camp then take our tow car and venture out every day for 3-4 days(?) We aren’t hikers. Then I’d like to break camp and head west, but since we have a 32 foot RV and tow a car I know we have to take a different road toward the west. I’d like to end up in the west part of the park for a few days also. We aren’t going to the Canadien park and don’t have a time schedule at all so what I need to know is where to make reservations for a full hook up (if possible) park in each of the areas. Could you give me the names of the parks that would make the most sense for our route please? I have until tomorrow, I believe, when some of the reservations open up. Thanks so much in advance.

Get on highway 89 southbound at St Mary, get on highway 2 westbound just before Browning. Highway 2 takes you to West Glacier.

Does that Route avoid the Sun Road? Our rig is too long.

I see that route goes outside the road we can’t drive on so that’s good, thanks. How long is the drive from Two Medicines to Apgar Campgrounds?

If you are over 12' 6" (low underpass at highway 2 and 49 in East Glacier) or over 21' (?) long (length limit north on 49) You can NOT get to Two Medicines. Don't ask how I know. The Lost Week in Glacier!!!! There are a number of dry boondocking camp sites near the summit of Highway 2 also one commercial CG 4(?) miles west of the summit. We used it as a dump station. $5 -$10 to dump/fill.
Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

What is the height on your Gulfstream , if your under 12ft 8, as the sign says, your all set, you will fit under the underpass, Our Forester is 11-4 , no problem. Two medicine is a great campground, beautiful scenery.

Thank you all so much. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get reservations at the various campgrounds (St. Mary’s, Two Medicine, and Apgar) I’ve chosen. Ugh!
