Hiking Fools

A steep ascent to one of the most historic structures in all of Glacier National Park. The trail climbs consistently to a glacier cirque set in the most scenic of places, with loads of berries and bear sign along the way.

This hike is for those looking to really challenge themselves, with no rest until the lookout is reached. Too many switchbacks to count, but the destination provides sky-high views of the largest lake in Glacier National Park and maybe even an encounter with the resident mountain goat.

An extremely popular hike in Glacier National Park that draws intermediate hikers all season. A lush cedar forest breaks way to avalanche chutes and a beautiful lake with waterfall cascades lining the backdrop, rushing down from Sperry Glacier above.

A large complex at the foot of Lake McDonald with access to amenities and services. Walk to the village, go for a paddle and/or swim, and enjoy the best of Glacier National Park after hours, including star-gazing and aurora borealis.

Rent a forest service cabin and explore the North Fork area of Glacier National Park. Enjoy access to the nearby wild and scenic North Fork of the Flathead River and soak in the peaceful surroundings.

A lovely summit on the highly visited west side of Glacier National Park. Major switchbacks lead skyward to a lookout tower with Lake McDonald stretched out below.

Get ready to crank those pedals with the “Biking Fools” all the way up the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. A favorite in the spring season and a good way for families to enjoy the views with no traffic to worry about.
