Polebridge, Montana Prepares for Glacier Park Visitation Blitz

Formerly a quiet, remote corner of Glacier National Park, visitation along the North Fork is steadily increasing, with a pandemic-related surge likely to continue this summer

“We all know that Glacier is like squeezing a balloon,” Superintendent Jeff Mow told community members who attended the virtual North Fork Interlocal Meeting on March 4. “Squeeze it in one place and it squishes out somewhere else. Well, Polebridge has been on the receiving end of that squish.”
