Glacier National Park Passes
Every Glacier National Park wilderness-permit entry point on recreation.gov - AllTrails ratings, demand scores, and a trailhead map.
A Glacier National Park wilderness permit covers overnight backpacking trips to the park's designated backcountry campgrounds, from the Highline and Gunsight Pass corridors to remote lakes in the North Fork and Many Glacier. It protects a spectacular stretch of the Northern Rockies, and permits are in high demand. Advance reservations cover the summer season (June 15 – September 30), and prime dates at popular campgrounds go fast.
