Syncro-specific, then? Asking for a friend…

On the northwest side of the park, there's a town? called Polebridge that has a great mercantile and bakery and just a cool spot to visit. The north fork road continues past Polebridge and the ranger station and up to Bowman and Kintla Lake, but you have to walk into those. Great day hike though! I believe there's a campground up there too. I think the roads are open in the summer but might want to double check.

Regarding "walk into these", are you referring to Kintia Lake?

I visited Glacier like 8 years ago and I remember being able to camp with my Syncro at the campground close to Bowman Lake (great experience, my son got his first fish, catch and release).

We crossed moose on the road to Bowman Lake, need to drive carefully.

Just FYI, if this year is anything like the past several expect heavy smoke from wildfires in August.
