美國冰川國家公園（Glacier National Park）

Great Falls International Airport

這是John Miur Trail 行前訓練之一. 注意事項: (1) By mid-June, the trails are usually dried out enough to hike in the lower elevations. In the higher elevations, trails are not normally free of snow until late July. You may be aware of the need to cross streams of very cold water, so bring extra dry clothing to change into and do not attempt to cross steep snow banks.

(2)I am going to mail out the Permits request

(3)Trout Lake Trail - West Lakes Trailhead to the Camas Creek Junction is posted for grizzly bear and/or mountain lion activity. Extra caution is advised.

(4)The Going-to-the-Sun Road is open to vehicle traffic from West Glacier to the Loop. Past the Loop the road is open to hiking and biking to a point about two miles beyond Bird Woman Falls Overlook. Both black and grizzly bears have been spotted recently. People are reminded that, as always in bear country, be alert to the potential of bears on or near the road. On the east side of the park the Going-to-the-Sun Road is open to vehicle traffic to Jackson Glacier Overlook. Hikers and bikers may continue up the road about another three miles.

(5) Bears and Pepper Spray An increasing number of backcountry hikers carry pepper spray as a possible deterrent against aggressive bears.
