For those who love hiking, Glacier National Park — the “Crown of the Continent” — is a must-visit destination. The park encompasses 1 million acres and boasts nearly 200 trails, offering more than 700 miles of terrain to explore. From rugged mountain ranges to dense forest, ancient glaciers to crystal-clear lakes, every hike promises time well spent outdoors. Follow the paths of bighorn sheep and mountain goats, trek to one of the park’s 25 active glaciers or amble through a serene alpine meadow — stepping out on a hike in Glacier is a once-in-a-a-lifetime experience powered by your own two feet.
Before setting out on your hike, check the status of your chosen trail — closures may be in effect due to weather conditions or wildlife activity. Follow hiking safety guidelines as well as bear safety practices.
