Jul 26, 2016, 8:13 AM. Hello, I am getting ready to book my August 2017 trip to GNP. We can visit either the first or third week of the month. Grinnell Glacier is something we are really hoping to do with our kids. Is one week better than the other? I was hoping the trail woild be all the way open to the glacier by August, and wasn't sure if there is a greater risk of closures due to bear activity layer in the month.
