Glacier Park can't stand more visitors
Tom Petrillo | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 years, 10 months AGO
I am writing in response to your recent editorial titled, “Visit Glacier; 2.2 million others did!”
I’m sorry but enough is enough already. It’s great that local businesses are thriving in part because of increased visitation to Glacier, but the park’s natural resources have become severely stressed. Water pollution is way up, more and more animals are being struck on area highways and a trip to Logan Pass is now similar to a drive around the D.C. beltway.
Quit promoting the place, the word’s already out.

Scenic values should be preserved
I’d like to briefly address issues I feel are important to aspects of the ongoing Flathead National Forest Plan revision.
Devil Creek Campground goes to hell
At mile marker 190 on U.S. 2 is the Devil Creek Campground, or at least what is left of it. In the name of beetle kill/fire management, the U.S. Forest Service has seen fit to ruin what was the nicest campground around.
