The traveler who is not in a hurry may camp out in the magnificent
wilderness of the park, carrying equipment in his automobile and
staying as long as he wishes in any of the free Government campgrounds,
or he may carry his bed and provisions on his back. With a competent
guide and a complete camping outfit the park visitor may set forth upon
the trails to wander at will. On such trips one may venture far afield,
explore glaciers, climb divides for extraordinary views, linger for the
best fishing, or spend idle days in spots of inspirational beauty.
The Glacier Park Saddle Horse Co. provides excellent small sleeping
tents and a complete outfitting of comforts for pack trips.
There are several important points to be remembered on such trips:
A Government topographic map should be procured and consulted
frequently.
Extreme care should be taken about fires. No fire should be left even
for a few minutes unless it is _entirely extinguished_. It should be
_drenched completely with water_.
