2023 GTTS Contest

Transportation can be a challenge in Glacier. If you have ideas, offer ride shares, or used a commercial service that you were happy with, let everyone know. Also, ask questions about road information, or share road information you may have.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the winners are:

-Tibber with June 15th
-Teapot with 12 people

A formable duo.

Yes it looks that way. Congrats of the keg of beer, ladies!

I'm surprised the road is open so early. I wonder what the earliest date the road was opened.

Wow, that’s great! I never win anything.

I read somewhere that this is the earliest opening since 2005.

Kyle, will you pack in my half of the 4 pack winnings? I’ll share. :D

How about that! I just had a feeling it was going to go early altho I thot the rain might cause issues. GTTSR has one hell of a crew! Kudos to them.

LOL! It was never actually awarded before? :shock: That would lower the fun meter just a touch now, wouldn't it? :D Now admittedly, Teapot wont see hers until September, but she will get it. Ha! Pardon the wait there T...

I was kinda thinking if we could get a big enough group from the chat to find their way to eastern Iowa some day for some reason, we could actually do a keg, if there was interest... :D

It looks to me like Tibber has won and can claim Kyle's valuable prize!

Congratulations, Tibber.

Now the question is how soon will the Highline Trail open?

As long as it's before my July 1st hike into Granite Park for the night I'm good. It looks like it opened a week after GTSR last year, I read somewhere the trail crew has to clean up the Logan visitor center before the road opens so maybe they move to Highline next?

I think when we first started doing the contest, someone posted that Kathy would supply a keg of beer to the winner (without Kathy actually knowing or agreeing to it) so year after year it became a running joke. I'm glad we have a real prize this year.
