If you want to avoid the crows but climb near Missoula, try the stuff near the Idaho/Montana border. We got blocked on last year due to a fire there, but were shooting for Grave Peak:

As a result, we then did St. Mary's Peak, and saw some cool stuff. Also did Trapper Peak. Both in this TR:

Bob,
Shite! I had pretty much decided on Glacier! Ah, well, we'll see. Play it by ear I guess. . .
It's just that it's a 4 1/2 hr. drive or so from Missoula, and, with that drive, I don't really feel like playing a crapshoot. .
Damn.
Thanks, though, Bob!

Thanks man! Those do look good, and are certainly options, of which there are plenty, right? :D
Lots of mountain ranges, and, you're right: we certainly don't have to focus on the Sawtooth's or Glacier, for that matter. However, a little fixated on Glacier at present. Checking out campgrounds, etc. and it doesn't look to bad, actually.
We'll see!
Thanks again.
