If you are traveling in the United States, you will definitely be interested in Glacier National Park. It features about 40 glaciers, after which the park is named, as well as ancient limestone cliffs, numerous waterfalls and lakes. It is especially attractive to fans of ecotourism.
Among the park’s main attractions is the Going-to-the-Sun Road, a road that stretches through the entire park. Around every turn, you’ll find spectacular scenery of mountain peaks, glaciers, waterfalls, or azure lakes. If you only had to see one place in the park, and still take with you the luggage of unforgettable memories, be sure to visit this road.
Also, don’t forget about Hidden Lake. On the way to the lake you will see an observation deck with an unforgettable view of the valley and the lake itself.
We advise you to go there at sunset, as there will be much less people, and you can personally enjoy the beauty of nature in the setting sun. There is a small beach on the shores of the lake where you can relax, have a little fishing or a picnic.
You can’t visit Glacier National Park without visiting at least one of the famous glaciers. Among them are Margerie and Lamplugh Glaciers, with numerous caves and waterfalls. A cruise is a great way to experience them. It is also advisable not to put off a trip to this park – by 2030 the glaciers will simply disappear.
If you are traveling in the U.S. by car, you will have to pay $25 per car, and those who are coming on their own will pay $12 per person. There aren’t many roads in the park, but you can appreciate all the sights through cruises, airplane and helicopter tours. Another option is the red vintage buses that run through the park from May through October.
Perhaps the best time to visit Glacier National Park is September, as the trees have already turned a charming yellow, there aren’t as many people, and the animals are more active as they prepare for hibernation.
