Located in northern Montana along the Canadian border, Glacier National Park’s over one-million acres boast two sub-ranges of the Rockies, more than 700 lakes (130 of them named), 1,000 different species of plants and hundreds of species of animals, not to mention some of the best - and most beautiful - hiking trails in the country.

The retreat of the glaciers carved out the park’s hundreds of lakes, which now make for scenic hiking destinations. Avalanche Lake is probably the park’s most popular destination, a moderately easy hike that gets crowded in peak seasons. The mountain-edged Two Medicine Lake is another hotspot, as is the cliff-lined Iceberg Lake and the opaque blue waters of Grinnell Lake.

Thousands of years of glacial runoff have resulted in a number of beautiful waterfalls in the park as well. The beautiful St. Mary’s and Virginia Falls are a short half-mile hike from each other, while visitors to Two Medicine Lake often take the afternoon’s journey to the plunging waters of Running Eagle Falls.

The park also supports a fairly robust tour and nature-guide business, with the historic Ford buses of the Red Jammer Bus Tours a very popular option. More adventurous types will enjoy any number of activities like white water rafting, inflatable canoeing, guided hiking and fly-fishing trips.
