Lake McDonald is a beautiful spot to hang out in Glacier, there are several access points, but be weary the water is colder than it looks :). The village offers restaurants and a small mercantile.

Logan Pass is the top of the Going-To-The-Sun Highway. It offers a visitor center, small gift shop, restrooms and a scenic hiking trail.
Logan Pass Visitor Center
Logan Pass is the top of the Going-To-The-Sun Highway. It offers a visitor center, small gift shop, restrooms and a scenic hiking trail.
This center is where you will park to take hiking shuttles, which are highly recommend for day trips as parking along the Sun Highway is very limited. Starting June 1st shuttle tickets will go on sale on recreation.gov

Rentals

Glacier Outfitters offers a variety of rentals, mainly kayaks for the lake. But this is a spot you can rent Bear Spray from for your hiking journeys.

旅行者へのアドバイス

交通アクセス

Hiking Shuttles

Hiking shuttles are the best way to go if you plan on doing a single day hike. Parking is really stressful and it sucks to have to change plans.
必見

Gas Stations

There are two gas stations outside west glacier, make sure your tank is full before you start your journey over Logan Pass. There is no gas station once inside the park until you get across into Saint Mary's.
交通アクセス

Red Bus Tours

A good way to see the Going-To-The-Sun Highway without driving it is the Red bus tours. It's a good option to take pictures, but they don't stop long enough to allow for any hiking. Still a fun experience, these are historic buses and the top rolls back so it can be like a huge convertible :). Also a good option if for some reason you didn't get a permit. glaciernationalparklodges.com
