4 Days backpack in Glacier National Park, Montana

4 Day and 3 Night backpack in Glacier National Park turned out to be one the best backpacks I did in US. The route taken was : Appekuny Falls Trailhead -> Poia Lake Campground -> Many Glacier -> Swiftcurrent Pass-> Granite Park Campground -> Logan Pass which was done over 4 days of backpack with 10 miles round-trip day-hike to Ice Berg Lake in Many Glacier area. We, four of us and including an 11 yrs old kid, successfully managed to backpack in one of the most beautiful part of Glacier National Park.  I had to use park & private shuttle to get back to Many Glacier since we didn't end the backpack at the same place. We didn't see a Grizzly Bear but I manage to see a Black Bear. I really liked the meadows and reminded me of Indian Himalayan backpacks.

Statistics were : 28.7 miles of backpack and 10 miles of day hike.
