I've been to Glacier several times over the last 30 years, including a pair of 7 day backpacking trips. I have pictures laying around somewhere. The hiking is incredible, though I'd probably pass on the fishing. I prefer camping in the Many Glacier area. Excellent hiking, on the drier side of the park, and somewhat apart from the tourist path. Of course, Going to the Sun Road must be seen to be believed. Glacier can get cold and rainy at any time, I've experienced snow in the back country during August. There are also a pair of back country chalets, you might consider. These would allow you to experience overnght in the back country without the tent or load. I have stayed at the Granite Park Chalet on 3 occasions. We spent the evening using spotting scopes to watch grizzlies wander around the trails we just hiked.
