Planning to visit the park next year and it seems as if July and August get the most visitors-is it really crowded then? What about the end of June? Best time to see wildflowers and wildlife? Thanks!

Several years ago we visited Glacier Park on the last day of the season that it was open. I believe it was the last day of October. The park was not crowded and a light snow had fallen on the fall leaves. It was one of the most beautiful sights that I have seen. The only drawback was that part of the Road To The Sun was closed, due to the snow. Glacier is beautiful. I would think September would be a good time also.
Toni-our family went to Glacier several years ago and it was the 3rd week of June. The weather was great(sweater and light jacket during the day) and the crowds were really down.Driving around the park was a breeze-you could actually stop at different places and enjoy the view.The flowers were popping out and we did see some wildlife.Enjoy-it is one of my favorite places in the USA!
I went this year June 19 & 20. This was a very snowy year and the going to the sun road was closed - they were hoping to open by July 4 (a record late opening by about 2 weeks). Therefor I would try for the end of june
