- 2. Logan Pass parking often fills by 7:30 AM; consider using the park shuttle system to avoid congestion.
- 3. Carry bear spray and know how to use it, as this is prime grizzly and black bear habitat.
- 4. Check road conditions frequently; snow can close high-altitude sections even in early July.
