Glacier planning...

After some months of reading, mapping, plotting and conversation, the trail plans for a late summer backpack in Glacier National Park have come together.  I faxed the request to the National Park Service today.  Now we wait for April 16 (or a few days later) when the NPS randomly selects from trip requests received between January 1 thru April 15 and confirms backcountry campsites.  Between now and then, I will begin the process of working on Plan B, our backup trip, in the likely event our request is not one of the randomly selected trips.

On the short list:

Lost Coast Trail
Teaton Crest Trail, CO
Snowy Range Loop, WY
Sawtooths, ID
Candian Rockies
The Cascades
