The Glacier National Park Travel Guide:
|
 |
I’m no tourist. No hired employee, wired on Redbull in a vain attempt to report on the park's every detail, inevitably glossing over the gems.
I’m just a kid who had a blast for two summers and wants to share the park's secrets, like Polebridge, Montana
But... A Montana Vacation's
not on my US National Parks see-before-I-die list.
Well then, scratch off Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain, Yosemite, Grand Tetons and/or Zion.
They only trump Glacier in tourist crowds.
Beauty? Glacier wins.
 |
Easy day hikes to crystal-clear, glacial fed lakes
 |
|
|
Vast, backcountry trails that meander through valleys and over towering mountain passes
|
Breathtaking views around every corner
This is why nearly two million people a year visit Glacier.
