View the glacier, visit the glacier.  This hike is fantastic with plenty of gorgeous scenery and turquoise lakes that appear out of a dream world.  Take time to explore the area surrounding the glacier and look for major wildlife sightings on this, one of our all-time favorite hikes in Glacier National Park.

A classic hike in Glacier National Park with a little bit of everything – forested trails, wildflower meadows, scree slopes, glacier views, and the opportunity to summit a few peaks.  One of our favorites for visitors.

One of the most popular hikes in the Many Glacier area with beautiful vistas and an ice-cold turquoise lake as the destination.  An exciting trail in Glacier National Park with the opportunity for abundant wildlife sightings.

Stunning views of the Two Medicine valley with an incredible arid landscape and plenty of bighorn sheep.  Positioned on the eastern edge of Glacier National Park, this summit provides a brilliant perspective into the distant eastern Montana plains.

Walk along the creek until breaking out into open areas surrounded by tremendous peaks lining the Cut Bank drainage in the northeastern part of Glacier National Park.  The Pass is significantly situated in a place where multiple watersheds split and run in three major directions, and the views are incredible.

This popular hike east of Logan Pass in Glacier National Park is a favorite for many reasons, including the two impressive falls.  The landscape is beautiful, featuring bright undergrowth in burn areas, and the Virginia Falls can even be seen from Going-to-the-Sun road.

This short boardwalk leaving the area just behind Logan Pass visitors center winds through sub-alpine terrain to a spectacular vista with peaks and valleys and the gorgeous Hidden Lake.  Tougher than you might expect based on distance, but the views are just as rewarding and rival any others in Glacier National Park.  Look for mountain goats!

One of our favorites in all of Glacier National Park, due to the varied landscape, the glacier views, the consistent wildlife sightings, and the way it winds through the peaks.  Plenty of water and beautiful vegetation, including huckleberry bushes.

This true summit is quite easily accessible for hikers willing to tackle the slopes and a little bit of scree.  You will be able to stand atop a mountain centrally located in Glacier National Park and take in all that the altitude has to offer.  Even suitable for families.
