Special Weather Statement issued June 10 at 3:26AM MDT by NWS Great Falls MT
Periods of wet snow will impact the East Glacier Park region above 5,000 feet today as a cold weather system moves through the area. Accumulating snow is most likely at elevations above 6000 feet, where 2 to 4 inches of snow is expected with isolated higher amounts over the peaks. The best chances for wet snow with little or no accumulation at elevations below 6000 feet is this morning. Those heading into the backcountry and higher elevations should prepare for winter-like conditions. An elevated risk will exist for hypothermia.
About
Many Glacier Campground is one of Glacier National Park's most sought-after campgrounds, located on the east side of the Continental Divide at approximately 4,500 feet elevation. The 109 sites are situated within a dense forest of Douglas fir, lodgepole pine, and quaking aspen, providing partial shade and wind protection. Nearby natural features include Swiftcurrent Creek and Lake, with mountain views of Altyn, Henkel, Wilber, Grinnell Point, Allen, and Wynn peaks. The campground offers excellent trailhead access for day hiking and overnight backpacking. Because east-side trailheads start at higher elevations, hikers enjoy shorter climbs to reach alpine vistas compared to west-side approaches. The area is prime grizzly and black bear habitat; hiking in groups, making noise, and carrying bear spray are essential. Swiftcurrent Motor Inn, located a quarter-mile away, provides coin-operated showers, a camp store, restaurant, gift shop, and limited groceries. Cell phone coverage is unavailable at the campground but limited service exists in Babb, 12 miles east. The campground is also a gateway to Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada, about 45 miles north.
