Rangers were super helpful and nice. The area of Many Glacier has amazing views, even if you can't make it out on the trails you will still be able to take in the sights. The road is gravel for a little bit coming in, but it is worth the drive.
Todd was very helpful suggesting a hiking trail for the day. Red Rocks Falls 1.8 mi one way. 10/10 Moose/deer/black bear. And Vistas that will be etched into your cortex for a very long time. Total awe!
this is my second experience in less than a month walking into a wilderness info ranger station and the female ranger is so sweet and informative and the young male ranger is douchey, for lack of a better word. all i wanted was a hour by hour weather breakdown for the next day, to plan for our 12 mile hike, as there’s no at&t service at Many Glacier Campground to check ourselves. i appreciated the female ranger’s enthusiasm, although i missed catching her name. they do have a passport stamp here.

The Many Glacier Ranger Station has very informative and helpful rangers. They definitely have a tight leash which is awesome. In the evenings they scan the hills for bears and set up telescopes for everyone to see. Best rangers of any park I have been to. Just don't be dumb and follow the rules, for your safety and the bears.
Helpful rangers who are passionate about the area and making sure you have a great visit. Even if you have NO idea what you want to do, they are happy to help you figure that out and make the most of your time in Many Glacier. They are a great resource for historical questions or hiking suggestions.
