I took my minivan over the Going to the Sun road in 2005, still looks wonderful! Great video too! Why not switch the battery between your two bikes about 1/2 way up the mountain, so that you both will get the same mileage going back down the hill? The second thought would be to buy a extra battery for those very long bike trips. I was thinking it would be wonderful to have a electric bike with regenerative braking, but that adds weight and cost to the bike, where a second battery would work better, less expensive. But it would not wear out the brakes on the downhill at Glacier NP. I am thinking about going to the RV heavy duty truck rally in Caldwell Idaho June 12 - 20th 2023.

[@KimInCalifornia]

Again, forest rangers call Bear bells, "Dinner Bells" because they attract cubs who are then followed by their mama bears. Don't use bear bells, use your voice...sing, whatever. And make sure you have bear spray in Glacier. There are usually attacks every year in the park. Hidden Lake is well known for grizzlies, so is the hike to Iceberg Lake. You can rent bear spray, but don't go without it. My first time in the park I came around a curve in the trail to Iceberg and found myself about thirty feet from a large grizzly. I had bear spray, but I didn't have to use it as I slowly backed away around the curve back to my group. We then started making noise which scared the bear away. I have had encounters with grizzlies several times (not as close as the first time) and am happy that I have the bear spray.

We also went to the Many Glacier Hotel, and took the ferry and hike all the way to upper Grinnell lake. You should do that, just don't tell Todd the distance. Saw a couple of bears and experienced snow, hail, sun and wind along that hike, but was well worth the views.

We are a owner in 800 acre horse ranch RV park in North Georgia but live in Savannah Ga. We love the mountains so much.
