Description
Bike, Walk and Raft in Glacier National Park
Set in far northern Montana, Glacier National Park boasts a backdrop of unparalleled natural beauty in which to adventure and explore. Its stunning landscape—jagged peaks and colorful wildflowers, rushing waterfalls and crystalline lakes—is matched only by its abundant wildlife; you’ll likely see mountain goats, bighorn sheep, bald eagles and perhaps even a moose. Crossing the Canadian border, you’ll discover Waterton Lakes National Park, a spellbinding tableau of saw-edged mountain ranges, broad lakes and rugged glacial valleys. Welcome to your Glacier adventure—prepare yourself for a Big Sky vacation you’ll never forget!
