Happy 100th Birthday to Glacier National Park

Congratulations to Glacier National Park, celebrating their 100th birthday today!

In honor of the many guests who stay at Swiftwater RV Park on their way to Glacier National Park, we happily share with you the commemoration of this prestigious and beautiful national treasure.  Today, May 11th  - the exact day 100 years ago of the Park's dedication - buses will start transporting people from West Glacier to the Community Building at Park Headquarters to get things rolling around 9:00am.  Rededication to start at 10:30am. Birthday cake to follow. Historic walking tours and activities in the pm.

All year long, there are special activities planned at Glacier, so check out the activities at their website: http://www.glaciercentennial.org/Home.html.

On you way to and from, remember to reserve a riverside camping spot at your favorite Idaho campground, along the awesome Salmon River - and even save some time to experience that awesome Idaho fishing activity.  The 2010 Chinook Salmon Season is here, and the river is bulging with fish, ready to jump on your line :-) .....well...almost!

Salmon Are Still Flying!

Yeah...this might be old news, but honestly, this is HOT! Those Chinook Salmon are still bound and determined to make it up river to give Idaho anglers a fantastic season fishing in the Salmon River. The 2010 daily count over Lower Granite Dam (the last dam and closest to our stretch of the river) is 41% of last year's total count by this date on the calendar.  Check out the graph too for a spectacular visual of the fish count.  

Got your fishing license yet? Got your camping space reserved?  Idaho fishing, and Idaho camping are the BEST (and you know the best little RV Park to pitch your tent or hook up your trailer for a river-side view of the awesome Salmon River!)

Salmon: 3198% Increase Over Last Year !

Yep...just have to keep the news flowing about the incredible 2010 Salmon Fishing season on the Salmon River, in north central Idaho.  Here at Swiftwater RV Park, the fishermen are beginning to dot the banks of the river, enjoying the wonderful Idaho fishing, along with Idaho vacations, and Idaho camping. Yeah!  Take a look at these counts over Lower Granite Dam, as provided by the Idaho Department of Fish and  Game (In my math book, this is a whopping 3198% increase!) :
