I hate to admit that I've ridden Going to the Sun a dozen times.
I've camped at every designated campground except Cut Bank.
(Including pounding the dirt roads up to Bowman Lake and Kintla Lake.)

I've hiked into backcountry sites solo, camped solo, woo-hoo!
Even took the hiker ferry down from Waterton to Goat Haunt.
The backcountry campsite had 80 zillion mosqitoes.

The best day hiking in Glacier is out of Many Glacier.
Taking the ferries across Swiftcurrent Lake and Lake Josephine
puts you deep into the backcountry.

I love the out-and-back trails to Cracker Lake and Otokomi Lake.
Why? Because most people hate out-and-back hikes,
so the trails and backcountry campsites are empty.

Then again, some people gets a little nervous soloing in the backcountry.
I'd rather be a meal than waste away in a nursing home.
PS - - It's a bad habit.
