This week it's just Rebecca and Shannon trying to break down what's actually happening at Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park in 2026.

No vehicle reservation system at Glacier. (And reminder: there has never been one at Yellowstone.) But there are changes to entrance fees — especially for international visitors — including a new $100 nonresident fee at both parks.

We're walking through what's new, what's not, what free entrance days mean this year, and what you need to know before loading up the car and heading west.

Are we experts? Absolutely not.
Will we try to explain it anyway? You bet.

On this episode of We're No Dam Experts, hosts Rebecca and Shannon are joined by local explorer Kristen Inbody, who has made it her mission to experience Great Falls outdoors—month by month, trail by trail, and often with her dog by her side.

Kristen shares stories from her goal of visiting Giant Springs every month of 2025, along with her favorite hiking spots, ways to explore Great Falls year-round, and tips for getting outside. Whether you're new to town or looking for fresh inspiration to explore your own backyard, this episode is packed with ideas to get you out the door.

On this episode of We're No Dam Experts, hosts Rebecca and Shannon sit down with the creators and owners of Magpie, the local hotspot known for its bold claim to having the best patio in Great Falls. We talk homemade taco recipes, expertly crafted cocktails, and what went into building a place that's all about good food, good drinks, and even better company.

Plus, a first for the podcast: our guests came prepared with questions of their own, making for a lively, engaging conversation you won't want to miss.
