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
Summit Campground sits high in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains within the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. The 17-site campground provides a gateway to serious backcountry travel, with a 3-mile spur trail connecting directly to the Continental Divide Scenic Trail and into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. The campground offers basic amenities including vault toilets and potable water from a hand pump. Bears frequent the area, and mandatory food storage in approved bear-resistant containers is required. All food must be removed from the eating area after meals. Adjacent to the campground, Memorial Square features a miniature Washington Monument commemorating Theodore Roosevelt and the Blackfeet tribe. The campground experiences heavy use during its operating season and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations available.
