<font size="+1"><font face="Arial">We took the shuttle from Waterton to
Chief Mountain too, and also hitched back. At the time, IIRC it was a
shuttle from an outfitter in town. If I'm not mistaken you can take
one for slightly more money on one of the red buses between Waterton
and East Glacier. This was late September when things were winding
down so the red buses may have stopped running by then. <br>
<br>
In June of '07 I believe the red buses were running both ways as well
as the white shuttle between East Glacier and Chief Mountain which I
ended up taking after hitching half way back.<br>

We took the shuttle to Waterton in '07 to start the GDT and talked to
the shuttle people <br>
about getting a shuttle back to the States from Waterton when we were
done in 6 or 8 weeks. <br>
We were told that they could drop us in Canada (one way fare) but that
they couldn't bring <br>
us back across the border as a one way trip when we returned. We
solved the problem by <br>
hitching - took us 3 rides to get from Pincher Creek to East Gloacier.
That translates to 2 <br>
or 3 rides to get from Waterton to East Clacier. <br>
<br>
Or - you can take a taxi from Waterton to the border crossing, get out
and walk across the<br>
border and catch the shuttle from Chief Mt. As I recall, the taxi
can't take you across the <br>
border either. But at least it can get you to Chief Mt. - where you
WILL have to deal with <br>
the border patrol. And that WILL require either a passport or a DL and
birth certificate. <br>

Since you're only doing Glacier, you may want to consider hiking
north. The trail is somewhat more spectacular that way. It's easy
enough to get a shuttle back. <br>
<br>
Walking into Canada maybe easier than trying to get in that country
over the road and dealing with a border guard. <br>

I am planning a hike, starting the first week of Aug., to begin in
Glacier Park. I have found, online, a shuttle to the Prince of Wales
Hotel. I will be going from East Glacier, arriving by trail, to the
start of the PCT. I will only be doing the Glacier section this year.<br>
<br>
First Question? Will I need a passport and/or other permits to go to
the trail head?<br>
Second? What is the process for getting a back county pass?<br>
