After a month of waiting and seeing sites get picked over, it was my time to shine. It was a little demoralizing to see all of the original routes I had planned get scooped up (particularly Elizabeth Lake, that Ptarmigan entrance would've been sweet), but I am thankful I landed a pretty great backup.

With the limited options, my itinerary is looking like:

Day 1: Slide Lake via Lee Ridge Trail

Day 2: Slide Lake to Glenns Lake Foot via Gable Pass

Day 3: Exit to Chief Mountain TH via Belly River Trail

While this was not really close to what I was originally planning, I am very thankful and excited for this opportunity to experience Glacier backcountry. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, particularly if you've been on these trails or stayed at these sites. Good luck to everyone!
