Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park is a 1,583-sq.-mi. wilderness area in Montana’s Rocky Mountains, with glacier-carved peaks and valleys running to the Canadian border. It’s crossed by the mountainous Going-to-the-Sun Road. Among more than 700 miles of hiking trails, it has a route to photogenic Hidden Lake. Other activities include backpacking, cycling and camping. Diverse wildlife ranges from mountain goats to grizzly bears.

Glacier National Park is quite different from Yellowstone National Park. The mountain are rugged without the many open meadows filled with wildlife and thermal features. That said, Glacier National Park offers dramatic beauty, pristine lakes and streams, and majestic peaks. Some highlights to visit are “Going to the sun” highway, Lake McDonald, Virginia Falls, and Belly River.

Whether you take a guided tour, hire a hiking guide, take advantage of the many fishing options, are on a photography journey, or just want to enjoy the historic lodges, Glacier National Park is one of the amazing places to see.
