West Glacier, Montana

There are many stunning places you could explore in this state. But we recommend planning a visit to Great Northern Resort. It’s well-known for its lodging, whitewater rafting, and fly fishing.

It’s also the main spot for those looking to be close by to the West Glacier entrance of Glacier National Park. This resort offers cozy log cabins with fireplaces, kitchens, and anything else you would typically imagine about a place like this.

When you begin your exploration, head toward the Going-to-the-Sun Road, and once inside, stop at the Montana House in Apgar Village before making your way to the picturesque Lake McDonald.

Things To See And Do:

  • Glacier National Park is where one would go to experience the true northern wilderness. So you won’t find many modern attractions here. Most of your time here will be well-spent on the trail, where you can hike to areas of interest like Logan Pass, Lake McDonald, and Grinnell Glacier.
  • And if you love scenic drives, Going-to-the-Sun Road is one of the best northern route road trips to take in our entire country.
  • West Glacier is also known for white water rafting, so if you feel a little adventurous, check out a local rafting company.

…Are you still with us? Then you’ll really enjoy our next northern route road trip spot!
