Glacier National Park - Epic Guide 2023

Glacier National Park in Montana is one of our favorite parks in the National Park system. There is just something special about driving the Going to the Sun Road, staying in historic lodges, enjoying epic wildlife viewing, and hiking its iconic trails.

Today we are excited to share our Glacier National Park Travel Guide with you. It is based on the numerous trips that we have taken over the years to this epic destination so that you can make the most out of your time visiting this amazing park.

Glacier National Park

Glacier is located in northwestern Montana and borders Canada. It lies in a spectacular wilderness of glaciers, lofty mountain peaks, and scenic lakes covering an area of over one million acres.

You will also hear Glacier called the Crown of the Continent. It got this name from George Grinnell who was a conservationist and editor for Field and Stream Magazine. He came to visit Glacier in 1885 and became an advocate for the creation of this park and nicknamed it "The Crown of the Continent". He claimed that the glaciers were the jewel in the crown. 

Geological records suggest there were 150 glaciers in the park in 1850. Today, the USGS reports that there are only 25 glaciers that are recognized as active or big enough to act as a glacier. Currently, there are several studies that believe the park will no longer have any glaciers by the year 2030.  

About Glacier National Park

Glacier National park was named from the more than 60 glaciers that range in size from a few acres to several miles. The largest of these glaciers is the Blackfoot Glacier. 

Blackfoot Mountain is named for the tribe of native peoples who inhabited this land until the time of its exploration by the white man.

There are more than 200 lakes within the boundaries of Glacier National Park. These were formed from depressions in the land that were carved out as the glaciers moved over them.

Many of the lakes are high in the mountains surrounded by sheer cliffs. Lake MacDonald, which is the largest of these lakes, is about ten miles long and is more than a mile in width.

The Lewis Range of mountains extends across the park from east to west. This range of mountains forms part of the Continental Divide.

It is here you will find some of the highest peaks of this mountain range, such as Mount Cleveland at over 10,000 feet.

There are at least 1,132 species of vascular plants that have been identified in Glacier including several wild mountain flowers and shrubs that bloom throughout the park during the summer months.

Wild animals, such as moose, elk, deer, black bears, grizzly bears, and mountain lions, inhabit this park and roam freely because hunting is not permitted within the boundaries.

Fishing in the many lakes is permitted and anglers do catch sizable fish on their visits.

The Going-to-the-Sun Road winds its way through Glacier National Park and is aptly named because of the heights to which it rises.

This road crosses the park from east to west, rising to Logan Pass from which you have a panoramic view of the park below.

Is Glacier National Park worth visiting?

YES! YES! YES!

Glacier NP is one of our favorite National Parks to visit. We try to spend time in the park every summer. 

Thankfully it is only 5 hours drive from us because we love it. 

There is truly something amazing about this Montana National Park. It is breathtaking, amazing, and did I mention breathtaking.

You never know what you will see around the next corner. 

History of Glacier National Park

• Established as a park on May 11, 1910
• Established as Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park in 1932
• Going-to-the-Sun Road completed in 1932
• Established as an International Biosphere Reserve in 1974
• Waterton Lakes National Park established in 1895
• Established as Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park World Heritage Site in 1995

The Great Northern Railway was instrumental in showcasing the beauty of Glacier as early as the 1890s.

They invited people to see America First and use the railway as a way to get to Glacier in Montana.

The landscape drew influential leaders to the park including George Bird Grinnell who pushed for the creation of a National Park in Montana.

This finally happened when President Taft signed legislation on May 11, 1910, establishing the 10th National Park in the United States...Glacier.

The Great Northern Railway worked to make the landscape more inviting to tourists by building a series of lodges and Swiss-style chalets around the park. 

You can still stay in these lodges still today including the Glacier Park Lodge in East Glacier, Many Glacier Hotel, and the Sperry and Granite Park Chalets in the backcountry.

The Sperry Chalet has been rebuilt after being damaged in a wildfire.

This is a must-do during any trip to Glacier!

Travel Tips

Check the weather often before your trip. It can easily snow in July on Logan Pass and make traveling the Going to the Sun Road interesting. You can find links for local weather in the park here.

Dress in layers. This park has so many different areas from the top of Logan Pass to boating on Lake McDonald. You can easily travel from an alpine walk to cruising the lake on a boat.

Traffic can be brutal in the park. Plan extra time to balance out the traffic especially during the summer construction season. Check current road conditions and construction updates on the park website.

You also want to check and make sure that Going to the Sun is open and plowed. It can easily be the Fourth of July before Going to the Sun Road opens for visitors.

Bug Spray is your friend!

If you are interested in taking a tour make sure and book them as soon as you can. Especially the Jammer tours. The Red Jammers fit around 17 people per vehicle so they can easily fill up quickly.

Try Huckleberry everything! This small berry is a bear favorite and one of my favorites. They make great margaritas, ice cream, and honestly everything.

If you are staying near Kalispell make sure and have dinner at Moose's. It is a true Montana experience. Just think of a Montana bar with sawdust-covered floors and swinging doors meet absolutely amazing pizza. 

Be BEAR AWARE at all times! You never know when a bear will be around so keep your eye on your surroundings and also know where your camera is.

Bring glass cleaner or spray if you have some to keep your windshield clean. There is nothing worse than seeing a bear or other wildlife and your photo has bug guts spread across the windshield. Trust me I have been there and was so bummed out.

There is very little cell service in the park. Be prepared to spend the day enjoying the park and not be hooked to your phone, other than using it to take photos.

Pack snacks and water with you. We try to bring a lunch that can easily be stored in our coolers.

When you see a bathroom use the bathroom. Especially with traffic, it can feel like hours before you see the next bathroom.

What is it like in Glacier right now? Check out these webcams for a look into the park.

You can check out the park newsletter online which is a great way to plan your trip.

If you plan to cross the border into Waterton National park make sure you have your passport with you.

If you are planning on going hiking you may want to bring bear spray with you. It is much cheaper to buy this ahead of time than buying it in the park. If you are flying you will need to pick it up after you fly, it is illegal to bring bear spray with you on a flight and this includes checked luggage.
