We traveled from Colorado to Glacier NP a couple of weeks ago. We met other family members at Two Medicine Lakes CG, which is in the southeast section of the park. It is a very nice dry camping facility. We were able to find three adjoining sites, much to our surprise. We had our Snowriver TC, our son and family had a hybrid trailer and the other family does real camping in a 12x12 tent.
Here are some mountain scenes.


The view as you drive west to the Two Medicine Lakes. This is the lower lake. The upper lake has the campground.


Site # 10. Snowriver and Jeep toad.


The atmospherics on the first morning gave a fine scene from the campground.


The family decided to take a trail around the lake. My wife and I turned back at about 1.5 miles. The rest of the folks continued on to find the rail was 10 miles long. They were whipped on return to camp.


Probably Mount Henry 8847 ft. from Two Medicine trail.


Saint Mary Lake from Going to the Sun Road.


View from Sun Point on Saint Mary Lake. The light was not good.


From Many Glacier, Mt. Grinnell 8851 ft.



Several of the family took a 2.5 hour trail ride from Many Glacier. They enjoyed it very much.


View from the Hwy 89 was a rich green


Chief Mountain is a prominent feature seen from Hwy 17 in the north.

Haven't been there in years but the place is beautiful.
Thanks for the pictures.
Loved East Glacier and White Fish. Flathead lake is nice too.

Great pics! we are headed to GP at the end of the month for the first time. I hope the weather will be as nice then. Does any one know what the fishing regs are for GP?

Great pictures of a great place. Two Medicine is one of my favorites but I've never done the trail there. Other than being ten miles long, how tough is it? Lots of PUDs (Pointless Ups and Downs)? Thanks for sharing such a lovely spot.

The trail is not hard (we started on the north side). The kids and grand kids went to the twin falls at the upper end, then came back on the opposite side of the lake. The trail on the south gets away from the lake. They had no complaints about the trail. Our son carried a Garmin GPS so the 10 mile figure was accurate.
Being 76 yrs with bad knees we were wise to make it short.

From Glacier National Park web site under fishing.

No license or permits are required to fish inside the boundaries of Glacier National Park. Fishermen need to stop at a Visitor Center or Ranger Station to obtain a current copy of park fishing regulations
