Re:  Glacier Bancorp, Inc.
File No. 000-18911

Dear Mr. Webb:

Consistent with my phone call discussions with Mr. Amit Pande, Accounting Branch Chief, and Mr. Edwin Adames, Senior Staff Accountant, this will serve as a formal request to extend the response date to the Staff’s comment letter of June 25, 2010 until August 18, 2010. As discussed with Mr. Pande and Mr. Adames, the additional time is necessary in recognition that each of Glacier Bancorp, Inc.’s eleven bank subsidiaries must separately accumulate the requested information in order to provide the Staff with a complete and comprehensive response to each of the comments.

If this request is acceptable to you, we would appreciate your favorable response. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Very truly yours,

Glacier Bancorp, Inc.
