One other factor that may come into play is that if you are planning to cross Logan Pass in Glacier N.P. you may be out of luck if you go too early. The last couple of years the pass has not opened until late June at the earliest. Last year it did not open until sometime in July. Unless they have an unusually light snowfall this winter (it snowed there yesterday), a mid-June opening will likely be the best case scenario. The Marias Pass (U.S. 2) alternative is a long slog up and not nearly as scenic.
