You'll learn more and discover more problems that need fixing by going on a backpacking trip, even just an overnight one, than you will by doing anything else. Where do you live? I think worry less about leg day, make a first attempt at your gear, and then go on an overnight trip. See what works/doesn't and iterate from there. Your Glacier trip is more than a year away so you have plenty of time to get at least a few overnight or weekend trips this summer. My advice on gear is to simply accept that you are going to make a lot of bad purchases until you get an opportunity to try things in the field and figure out what works for you. Sites like backcountry and moosejaw and stores like REI will let you return stuff even after you use it (as long as you don't total it), so take advantage of that. If you really want a list something like this should be fine, just with more food/fuel. https://backpackinglight.com/00234-2/ As far as exercises go, don't neglect going on hikes/backpacking trips that at least approximate the distance you plan to cover. No amount of cardio or weight training will stop your feet from crapping out on you if you try to do a 60 mile trip and have never hiked more than 10-15 mile day hikes with rest in between.
