There’s a magical evening light that sweeps across the broad shoulders of Montana’s sky. Its radiating pink and purple colors echo off windows of log-hewn cabins, patios of

breweries and the sides of aging pickup trucks rattling down lonely roads. Montana artist C.M. Russell captured this magnificent light in his paintings, and it fills the landscape with a peace that seeps into its people like water spilling over a river bank.

Discover Montana’s spectacular culture via West Yellowstone, Mont., as you point your wheels north to Glacier National Park. In Big Sky, you’ll find adrenaline-filled activities. Farther north, you’ll find boom-and-bust stories in Virginia City, Nevada City and Butte.

Beyond take a dip at the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort and sample sweets and sift for sapphires in Philipsburg. Explore Missoula and other lively towns en route to Glacier National Park.

At the park, take time to get out of your car and explore the incredible beauty of Glacier on foot or boat. We’ve compiled our favorite things to do in this trip planner, along with a Glacier-specific wildlife guide, to help you make the most of your time.

After you’ve traveled the park’s legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road to reach the East Entrance, head southeast to Great Falls, home of the C.M. Russell Museum where Montana comes to light in a very different way. Beyond explore the happening college towns of Helena and Bozeman before you reach the quaint, strikingly beautiful town of Livingston, the original Yellowstone gateway.

WEST SIDEWEST ENTRANCE If you’re planning on entering the park from the west side, the West Entrance via West Glacier is the place to go. You can reach Lake McDonald, the Apgar Visitor Center, the park’s headquarters, and the legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road, which stretches 48.7 miles across the park, connecting the west side to the east side. There are plenty of historic and contemporary lodging and dining options in both Apgar and Lake McDonald.

The closest towns to West Glacier include Columbia Falls, Hungry Horse, Whitefish and Kalispell. From Kalispell, take Hwy. 2 north for 33 miles until you reach West Glacier.

EAST SIDEMANY GLACIER ENTRANCE At the Many Glacier Entrance on the park’s east side, you can access the stunning Many Glacier Valley, home to visitor services, the Many Glacier Hotel and the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn & Cabins. The road dead ends here, so you cannot access Going-to-the-Sun Road

through this entrance. If you are planning on visiting the west side, do not use this entrance.

Built in 1914-15 and part of a 15-year, $42 million renovation that ended in early 2017, the Many Glacier Hotel is the largest in the park with 205 guest rooms, plus seven family rooms and two suites. The five-story hotel presides over Swiftcurrent Lake in an area known as the “Switzerland of North America.”

The Ptarmigan Dining Room was renovated in 2011 to restore its historic features and offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the lounge located in the Ptarmigan Dining Room, you can order locally inspired drinks like the “Trail Crew Mule” that is made with Headframe Spirits High Ore Vodka (out of Butte, Mont.), citrus simple syrup, ginger beer and lime.

There’s also the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn & Cabins a mile from the hotel. Choose between rustic cabins and motel inn-style rooms with or without private bathrooms. Beyond enjoy miles of spectacular hiking trails, including one through Ptarmigan Tunnel built to help hikers avoid a treacherous section of trail.

ST. MARY ENTRANCEIf you are coming from the east and want to drive Going-to-the-Sun Road, head to the St. Mary Entrance. You can visit the St. Mary Visitor Center to see a park film Land of Many Journeys or attend ranger-led programs and Native America Speaks programs. It sits on the western edge of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation and is home to St. Mary Lake, a gorgeous turquoise-colored alpine body of water that stretches 10 miles.

St. Mary is just one mile east of the park entrance and offers accommodations like the St. Mary Lodge & Resort where you can choose from 116 guest rooms among six facilities. Stay in a cabin, lodge room, house or motel-style room. Renowned for its huckleberry specialities like Huckleberry Salmon, along with dishes like Bison Stroganoff, the resort’s Snowgoose Grill offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. There’s also the Mountain Bar and Curly Bear Cafe, along with Glacier Perk Espresso.

This is the place to fuel up on gas and stock up on outdoor items. The Trail and Creek Outfitters is the only outdoor specialty shop on the eastern side of Glacier.

TWO MEDICINE ENTRANCE Located in the southeast corner of the park, the Two Medicine Entrance area is an often overlooked corner of Glacier. But before Going-to-the-Sun Road opened in 1933, it was the main destination for travelers arriving by train. You can take a boat tour on Two Medicine Lake in the historic boat Sinopah, peruse the camp store and gift shop and explore a multitude of hiking trails. The road dead ends at Two Medicine Lake, so you can’t reach Going-to-the-Sun Road from here. To access Going-to-the-Sun Road, you have to drive to the St. Mary Entrance about 30 miles north.

Thirteen miles away from the Two Medicine Entrance is East Glacier Park. It’s home to 363 hardy, year-round residents. In summer, this sleepy town wakes up, offering motels, restaurants and shuttle services. You’ll discover the 161-room, elegant Glacier Park Lodge built in 1913 here. In the lobby you’ll see bark-covered Douglas fir logs stretching up to the ceiling. Along with beautiful gardens, there’s a nine-hole golf course and a swimming pool.

PARK ENTRANCE PRIMERThere are four main entrances to Glacier National Park, one on its west side and three on the east. The West Entrance

and St. Mary Entrance put you on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, the only road connecting the park’s west side with its east.

GLACIER’S TOP SIX

Here are some of our favorite things to do from hiking to exploring some of Glacier’s most iconic treasures.

1EAT AT LAKE

MCDONALD LODGEStart the day with a delicious breakfast

in Russell’s Fireside Dining Room at this historic lodge on the west side.

2STOP AT THE CEDAR

TREE GIFT SHOP Shop at the park’s largest gift store in Apgar

for souvenirs or ice cream. Old-growth cedar trees grow through the floor and

ceiling. The trees existed long before the store, so the builders let some stay.

3HIKE ON

LOGAN PASS At 6,646 feet, Logan Pass is the inspiring high point of Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Both Hidden Lake Overlook Trail and the Highline Trail leave from here,

offering breathtaking opportunities to spot wildlife.

6RIDE ON A

HISTORIC BOATTake the oldest wooden boat in

Glacier Park Boat Co.’s fleet across Two Medicine Lake and learn about the area’s Blackfeet Indian history. When the boat

docks on the upper west shore, disembark and hike with a naturalist or

on your own to Twin Falls. Catch a different return boat or hike back.

5TAKE A RED BUS TOUR

Ride in the world’s oldest touring fleet of vehicles. Depart from the east or west

sides of the park in these 1930s-era vintage buses with roll-back tops. They

accommodate 17 people. Tours last between 2.5 to 8 hours.

4DINE AT MANY

GLACIER HOTEL Head to the historic first-come,

first-served Ptarmigan Dining Room. Chefs use locally

sourced ingredients whenever possible.

MOUNTAIN GOATSAs Glacier’s official symbol, mountain goats are covered with two layers of wool that enable them to withstand temperatures that dip to -50F. They have large hooves and rough pads to scale steep, rugged slopes. Both males and females have black horns and long faces with fur hanging off their chins. Females, called “nannies,” live with children and females. Males live apart in groups of 2-3. They can jump nearly 12 feet.

SEE THEM: Look for them on rocky slopes and high meadows. They lick salt near trails. See them at Logan Pass, Sperry/Gunsight, Hidden Lake, Iceberg Lake and Grinnell Lake areas.

LYNXThis rare cat with long-ear tufts is a threatened species in the Lower 48 but can be spotted in Glacier. It’s larger than a house cat, weighing around 20 pounds. Its large, wide furry feet help it travel easily through snow. Its back legs are larger than its front legs. Its fur is usually gray in winter and light brown in summer. Lynx dine on snowshoe hares, birds and rodents. They are primarily solitary animals and den in fallen trees and rock ledges.

SEE THEM: Lynx prefer dense forests but hunt at higher elevations with more open spaces, so keep your eyes peeled for these elusive cats.

WILDLIFE FIELD GUIDEKeep an eye out for these fascinating animals in Glacier.

MOOSEYou can spot a male moose easily by its huge antlers that stretch up to six feet. Females don’t have antlers. Moose have long snouts, bulbous noses and extra skin under their throats. They are enormous, weighing up to 1,800 pounds. On land they can reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. Their hooves are made for snow travel, enabling them to navigate deep powder. They also are good swimmers, paddling several miles at a time.

SEE THEM: Moose love watery areas and areas with high grasses, willows and shrubs. Fishercap Lake area is a good place to spot them.

GRIZZLY BEARGrizzlies, also known as “brown bears,”  weigh up to 700 pounds. They have a distinctive hump between their shoulders that black bears do not have. They have shorter ears and a longer snout than black bears. Grizzlies disseminate huckleberry seeds via their scat and till soil for glacier lilies.

SEE THEM: Grizzlies live throughout the park, eating berries, parsnip thickets and glacier lilies. On the east side, some spend spring in valleys and then go up to the high country for summer. Others spend the entire summer in meadows and aspen groves, heading higher to hibernate.

BIGHORN SHEEPTraveling in groups, bighorn sheep are built for spending long winters at high elevation. Born with rough split hooves, they climb up steep, rocky terrain to escape predators. Males, also known as “rams,” have larger horns that can weigh up to 30 pounds. Females, referred to as “ewes,” have horns that never form more than half a curl. Bighorn sheep eat grasses and shrubs. In fall, rams compete for ewes by butting each other for up to 24 hours at a time.

SEE THEM: See them on the Logan Pass (even in the parking lot) and on the grassy slopes of mountain sides and high alpine meadows.

BLACK BEARThese omnivores can weigh up to 400 pounds and stretch from two to four feet tall. They can be black, blond or brown, which can lead visitors to misidentify them as grizzlies. In spring, they eat shrubs and new shoots in the forest. Throughout summer and fall, they retreat to higher elevations, chasing berries and trout. Black bears hibernate during winter and mate throughout summer.

SEE THEM: Black bears live throughout the park. Look for them in forested areas where they like to dwell. Maintain at least 100 yards between you and a bear and always carry bear spray.

WEST SIDE Apgar Village

VILLAGE INN AT APGARTwo miles into the park lies the Village Inn at Apgar. Built in 1956 but renovated in 2015, every room in the two-story building offers breathtaking views of Lake MacDonald. Its starting room price is a little more expensive than the Apgar Village Lodge & Cabins. On the first floor, you’ll find one-bedroom, full-kitchen units. Upstairs, one-to-three bedroom units accommodate up to six people. None has kitchen units. There are family and ADA units. Make reservations at GlacierNationalparkLodges.com or 855-733-4522.

APGAR VILLAGE LODGE & CABINSJust two miles into the park is Apgar Village Lodge & Cabins. The least inexpensive option is the motel-style rooms that feature a private bathroom and one-to-two

queen-sized beds. Or opt for a cabin with or without a kitchen. Cabins with fully equipped kitchens have a living/dining area and various room and bed arrangements. Family cabins are the most expensive option with a fully-equipped kitchen and a loft sleeping area. Make reservations at GlacierParkInc.com/lodging or 888-435-0270.

Lake McDonald

LAKE MCDONALD LODGETen miles from the West Glacier Entrance lies Lake McDonald Lodge, a rustic but elegant Swiss-style hotel built on the eastern shores of Lake McDonald in 1913. With spectacular views and an oversized lobby fireplace, it has 82 guest rooms in the three-story main lodge, separate cabins, the dormitory-style Snyder Hall and the Cobb House, which has three suites. Renovated in 2015, the main lodge rooms have 1-2 queen beds and private baths. The cabins also were renovated in 2015. Make reservations at GlacierNationalparkLodges.com or 855-733-4522.

MOTEL LAKE MCDONALDSharing majestic views with Lake McDonald Lodge is the Motel Lake McDonald.

You’ll find one of the West’s most vibrant storytellers in Great

Falls, Mont.

But you won’t be able to hear his stories. The great artist Charles Marion Russell died in 1926. Instead, you’ll discover evocative scenes from the 1800s and early 1900s depicted across his broad canvases with splashes of bright-colored paint at the C.M. Russell Museum. You’ll find herds of boisterous elk and the haunting sunlit faces of three Native Americans witnessing a steamboat on the Missouri River for the first time.   

“I like to say that the more you dig into Charlie Russell and his art and writings, the more you are drawn into his world,” says Duane Braaten, the museum’s director of art and philanthropy. “You find you'd like to sit around a campfire with him and hear his stories. A visit to the museum is about the closest we’ll ever get to that.”

While artists of Russell’s era like Thomas Moran and Frederic Remington traveled to the West periodically, Russell stayed, carving out a rich life in a corner of the West where the Great Plains roll up to the Rocky Mountain front. The museum, his home and log-hewn studio sit on

the city block where Russell, his wife Nancy and son Jack lived.

Befriending native tribes, he earned the name Ah-Wah-Cous for “antelope” because of the buckskin patch on the rear of his wool pants. A quiet community leader, locals continue to revere him because he captured the real lives of earlier generations.  

“A few of his paintings are almost like photographs,” says local

Rebecca Engum. “My husband’s grandfather’s favorite piece is of cowboys roping a bear. He always said, ‘Son, that’s one of the things we probably never should have done.’ He captured things people actually did, which is what endears him to the community.”

Visit the C.M. Russell Museum, 400 13th St. N., and learn more at CMRussell.org.
