i did, but only a little bit. like an afternoon hike. i don't know how hard you are going.

only thing i can say is weather can be variable. it was nice when we went on our hike. halfway through turned to sleety rain type shit and got really cold.

Looking at 4 or 5 days

I kinda know what trails we want to hit (but wouldn't mind hearing about other peoples hike), but could use some info on the camping aspect. It seems you can't just camp anywhere, but you have to do so at designated campsites that need a reservation.

It seems there is one campground set aside for people without a reservation though.

On your trip did it seem like you could access all the trailheads by car? Or atleast the most popular trails?

All I really know is that the Continental Divide Trail has around 110 miles in Glacier National Park.

Nice. I'm sure we can clear that in a day. Two tops!

That's good to know. Even if we can't get reservations I think we could just set up at this one campsite that doesn't need them and head out to a new trail each day. We won't get to do one continuous hike, but that's not a deal breaker
