From what I can gather it is is high snow year. I am going to be in the park, probably just after 4th of July. Was considering a through hike from Logan Pass to Goat Haunt. A couple of questions.
1. Any general advice on this route. Looks like 2 or 3 days. Is this realistic for a strong hiker? Any chance I should think about snow shoes for early July?
2. I would plan to hitch a ride from Waterton back to Logan pass. Does this seem like it would be hard to do? Are there any other transport options?
3. I would like to do Mt. Cleveland, as a side trip (I would not backpack over Mt. Cleveland with full backpack gear). Any thoughts on the two main routes. I would plan the Stoney Indian route, supposed to be easier to follow. Any general advice on routes for Mt. Cleveland, how hard are they to follow. Are there even faint herd paths?
4. Would you expect to have problems getting a permit for this early in the season?
