Glacier National Park is exceptionally beautiful. No matter where you decide to go in the park, you will find countless trails to hike, sights to see, and wildlife to observe in their natural habitat.
A vehicle pass into Glacier National Park is $35/vehicle. You can also purchase an annual pass for $70/vehicle which we recommend doing if you plan to visit the park more than once during your stay.
Once in the park, we recommend you stop by Apgar Village to grab a Huckleberry Ice Cream cone and take a look at Lake McDonald. The Going to the Sun Road is one of the most exceptionally beautiful and iconic Glacier National Park staples that we cannot recommend enough (pictured above!). Polebridge Mercantile is a bakery located inside of the park that has many huckleberry pastries, including their famous Huckleberry Bear Claw.
For those who are unable to hike on foot, we recommend taking a Red Bus Tour which will allow you to see the park from their historic open-roofed red bus. Please click the link below for more information on the Red Bus Tour.
