Three Reasons To Visit Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park in Montana encompasses a large portion of the Rocky Mountain region of northwest Montana and even crosses the border into Canada to form the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.

The land that makes up Glacier National Park is both wild and majestic. More than 75% of it remains pristine wilderness area untouched by any man-made development of the modern world. In fact there is only one road that transects the park, the Going-to-the-Sun Road, a 50+ mile stretch of highway that starts in the town of West Glacier, straddles the Continental divide, and exits the park at the town of St. Mary along the eastern side of the park.

Despite its purposefully limited infrastructure, Glacier National Park receives more than 3 million visitors a year. These visitors come in droves to the park each year to experience Glacier’s incomparable natural beauty, remarkable and abundant wildlife, and rich history.

The incomparable beauty of Glacier National Park

I have had the privilege of visiting several of America’s national parks in my lifetime, and I can say without hesitation that Glacier National Park is one of the most beautiful national parks in the United States. Glacier National Park is a land full of wonder, magic, and rugged Rocky Mountain majesty. The unique beauty of this area has garnered several nicknames for the park, including “the crown of the continent,” and “America’s Little Switzerland.” In fact the latter was a name given to the park by the Great Northern Railway in the early 1900s, as a way to help promote the park as a prime vacation destination for families and individuals across the United States to come visit and enjoy. Many of the lodges throughout the park were built by the Great Northern Railroad and carry a Swiss-Chalet theme to coincide with the “Little Switzerland” promotional efforts.

Glaciers remarkable wildlife

 

Glacier National Park is home to an abundant variety of unique and diverse wildlife. Some of the wildlife that you will find within the park would be difficult or impossible to find anywhere else in the lower 48. Some of the species of wildlife Glacier National Park is especially known for, includes the North American grizzly bear, the majestic mountain goat, Moose, Big Horn Rams, and other unique characters like the hoary marmot. Of course there are many other species that live in the park as well like elk, white tailed deer, various ground squirrels, brown bears and black bears and many more. There are also hundreds of varieties of birds that make their home throughout the park with some especially noteworthy species such as the bald eagle and ospreys.

Glacier National Park’s rich history

According to archaeological records Native Americans began inhabiting the park as many as 10,000 years ago. The Blackfeet people moved into the area around the start of 18th century and very quickly dominated the eastern slopes of what is now a Glacier National Park, as well as the Great Plains that follow to the east. In 1806 the Lewis and Clark expedition came within 50 miles of the park during their exploration of the Marias River. Many more explorers ventured into the area in the late 1800s and in 1885 a man by the name of George Bird Grinnell, hired an explorer to guide him into the mountains and valleys which are now part of Glacier Park, as part of a hunting expedition. Mr. Grinnell was so inspired by the beauty of the area that he spent the next two decades lobbying to establish the area as a national park. In the year 1910 his efforts came to fruition and Glacier National Park was established as America’s 10th national Park. Over the next several decades the great Northern Railroad began building their Swiss-style chalets near the gateways of the park and they began promoting Glacier National Park is America’s Little Switzerland. The Going-to-the-Sun Road was completed in the late 1930’s and further boosted vacation travel into the park.  Glacier National Park is steeped in native American and early settler and pioneer history as well as a great deal of early American railroad history.  Many of the hotels and chalets in and around the park are national historic landmarks and are very unique in style and beauty.

A vacation to Glacier National Park is an unforgettable experience that will treat you to a beautiful side of America’s past and present that many people don’t even know exists.

Glacier National Park Camping

The good thing about a Glacier National Park vacation is that there are a number of activities you can do in the area so there’s sure to be something that will interest the whole family, from hiking and fishing down to sailing and skiing. If you’re headed out with the entire family, or even by yourself or with a couple of friends, why not consider staying a while in one of the campgrounds near Glacier National Park. If you have an RV, you can also check out Glacier Peaks RV Park the Glacier National Park RV park located about 30 minutes away from the parks gateway.

What to expect when camping near Glacier National Park

Staying at a Glacier National Park RV park puts you right in the middle of enjoying the great outdoors such that you don’t even have to actually be at the national park in order to take in what Mother Nature has to offer. You just have to step out our front door to enjoy all the abundance and beauty of Montana’s nature. An RV park vacation brings together the best of both worlds, you can enjoy the comfort and convenience of home amenities like a shower, kitchen and a bed and sofa so you don’t end up feeling like a caveman, but you’ll also enjoy the freedom and fun of “camping” and indulging in Montana’s rustic outdoors. It depends on the Glacier National Park RV park you go to but some of the amenities that may be available include: RV stores for accessories, pull-through sites, full hook-ups, car rentals, phone service, laundry rooms, shower rooms and bathrooms, wireless internet access, convenience store, and mail service. Some of the RV parks around also boast of being near the city so even if you’re on a vacation in an RV park you can still enjoy a lot of the conveniences of city living.

What to consider

First of all, make sure that the Glacier National Park RV park you’re interested in can actually accommodate your RV by checking how big the parking spaces are. Take into consideration as well of course what you can enjoy while you’re in the area, whether within the Glacier National Park RV park or the surrounding areas. If you don’t have anything to do in the area, then why would you go there, right? While you will be essentially staying inside your RV you will still be checking into an establishment where other people are camping and trying to enjoy their vacations as well, so be considerate and abide by the rules.  For instance, don’t check in too late. This is suggested for both the security and comfort of all guests. Some RV parks are also particular about RVs they admit so make sure that your vehicle meets CFRVP codes or at least the RV park’s standards. There will also be areas in a Glacier National Park RV park that will be off-limits so do ask where you can and cannot park your RV.

Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, the Great Smokey Mountains…all of these are great vacation options, but there is one destination that doesn’t get as much publicity, but it certainly deserves a visit from your family, and that is Glacier National Park in northwest Montana.

Glacier National Park: A World Heritage Site

Glacier National Park shares a common border with Canada and in fact it is part of the greater “Glacier-Waterton International Peace Park” – one of the first International Peace Parks established in the world, as well as a World Heritage Site.

Activities & Adventure in Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park offers a plethora of fun and exciting activities for the whole family to enjoy, from hiking and horseback riding to whitewater rafting or going for an evening dinner cruise on one of the placid lakes within the park, such as Lake McDonald or St. Mary Lake.  The beauty and tranquility that you will find in Glacier National Park is unlike anything that you have probably experienced before.  A summer vacation in Glacier National Park is certainly a memory that your family will remember for a lifetime.

Kids and adults both will enjoy the opportunity to ride horseback through the Glacier Park backcountry.  You can  choose from several different outfitters to guide you on your horseback adventure, and each of these outfitters provides you with several different options to suite your needs, from short half-day trips, to multi-day trips or even trips that combine your horseback riding adventure with other Glacier Park activities such as  fishing, rafting and more.

For something with a little more adrenaline, check out Glacier National Park’s neighbor, the Whitefish Mountain Resort on The Big Mountain in Whitefish Montana.  Whitefish is just a few miles down the road from Glacier Peaks RV Park, and it offers all sorts of fun activity options for the entire family.   There are mountain biking trails, gondola rides, an alpine slide, hiking, horseback riding and more available at or near Whitefish Mountain Resort.  One of the newer activity options available at the Whitefish Mountain Resort is the Zip Line tours.  This adrenaline-pumping activity allows you to soar like an eagle out over the treetops and across the wide valley’s of the Whitefish Mountain Range at speeds of over 50 miles per hour and heights of more than 300 feet off the ground!  This is definitely one  adventure you do not want to miss.

Looking to spend your time in northwest Montana’s ‘Glacier Country’ doing something a little more laid back and relaxing?  Want to pass the time soaking in some of the most beautiful scenery on earth while you are getting a little oversize and enjoying yourself?  Northwest Montana is home to some of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses you will ever find.  In fact, there are more than a dozen courses to choose from within the general area.  Many of our golf courses have been featured in national magazines like Golf Digest, and have  garnered national attention as being some of the top “must-play courses” in the world.  Boasting immaculate greens, long forest-lined fairways, challenging course design and some of the most beautiful backdrops you will ever lay eyes on, it is not too difficult to understand why these beautiful golf courses have attracted so much attention and widespread acclaim.

Another wildly popular adventure that attracts people to the area is the blue-ribbon trout fishing in both the lakes and rivers across northwest Montana.  Fishing Flathead lake is something that every angler should do at least once in his or her lifetime.  The fish here are absolute monsters, and the cold waters of Flathead Lake keep the fish healthy and strong which makes for a good fight as you reel them in, and makes for good eating once you have reeled them in!

The above examples are just a few of the adventures that you might consider during your next summer camping trip to Glacier National Park.  This place really is an endless adventure, guaranteed to provide your family with enough memories to last a lifetime.

A Few Tips To Make Your Spring Camping Trip More Enjoyable

The days are getting longer, and the temperatures are getting warmer…that can only mean one thing…spring is on it’s way! Time to dust off the portable grill and the waders, and get the old RV out of storage and do some Glacier National Park camping! This article will help you to make sure your Spring camping trip is a good one!

 

The first thing you will want to do is make sure you are prepared for any type of spring weather. When spring rolls around and the sun creeps out from behind the grey clouds of winter and shines its warm friendly rays on us, it is easy to get excited and think that the sunny warm days of summer are here for good, but spring is never that consistent or reliable. A Glacier Park camping trip in the spring time can still saturate you with plenty of cold rainy days… even snow showers, so be sure that you come prepared with lots of layers and waterproof, or at the least water resistant outerwear to keep you dry and warm.

 

The second thing that you should keep in mind is that while Glacier National Park is open year round… and many of the campgrounds near Glacier National Park are open throughout the year… many of visitor attractions inside the park, including Going-To-The-Sun-Road, are not open until early summer. In fact, there have been some years where Going-To-The-Sun-Road does not open until early July because there is so much snow that needs to be cleared from the narrow alpine road. But don’t let that scare you away from visiting the Glacier National Park area in early spring. Spring camping in the Glacier National Park area brings a very unique and magical experience that you will not get to experience any other time of the year. And the beauty of the rushing waterfalls and the lush greenery of the forests and alpine meadows as they wake up from their winter hibernation is a glorious site to behold.

 

If your plans are to do some early spring fishing in the area, be forewarned…the rivers are running at full-bore this time of the year, and they can be quite dangerous if you wade too far out into the flowing waters. Even if the river seems rather calm and peaceful on the surface, the undercurrent can be deceptively strong…strong enough to sweep a grown man off his feet and carry him away down stream. So be especially cautious. You are really better off doing lake fishing during this time of year anyway, as the rivers are flowing way too fast and the water is far too cloudy to make for very good fishing.

 

Lastly, make sure that your rig is equipped with all the necessary equipment to complete a successful journey for this time of the season. And since it is spring in Montana that we are talking about, that means you should throw some snow chains in the RV too, just to be on the safe side. You are not likely to get into any type of snow that is bad enough to require the use of chains, but if your travels take you over any of the higher mountain passes in the state, it might be necessary to put the chains on until you get through the high elevations. Once again, it is better to have them and not need them, then to need them and not have them.

 

Glacier National Park camping in the spring time is a fun and relaxing experience. As long as you prepare for all weather possibilities and take necessary precautions, a spring camping trip to northwest Montana can be a memory to last a lifetime. You will certainly avoid the heavy crowds by visiting the area a little earlier, and you will be able to witness some of the most remarkable scenery on Gods green earth. So what are you waiting for?… Start packing your bags and wash off that RV…time is a wasting!

Three Tips To Make Your Glacier National Park Camping Trip Fun For the Kids

A camping trip can be one of the funnest vacation options for you to enjoy together with your family.  This article will share a few tips to ensure that your family vacation, camping Glacier National Park, is a great success that your kids will remember for years.

The first thing to keep in mind is that you should not cut corners in the planning department.  Be sure to begin planning for your family camping trip well in advance of your actual departure date.  Too many people get busy with all the hassles and commotion of every day life, and procrastinate the vacation planning until the last minute.  The result is a lame half-hearted attempt at a family vacation where nothing goes right, and the kids end up getting bored for a lack of interesting things to keep them busy.  It only takes one bad family vacationing experience to put a bad taste in your children’s mouth for years to come, so if you don’t want to shoot yourself in the foot when it comes to future family outings, you should definitely take a little extra time, and make sure you plan each family vacation out thoroughly and thoughtfully!

These trails are many and diverse, so you can easily find something for any style of hike, and any hiking skill level. If you have room, it might also be a good idea to through your child’s bicycle on the rig.  Children love bicycling around the paths and driveways of the campgrounds, and there are several bike trails within the area as well for children and families to enjoy.

Before you ever leave on your vacation it is important to set the ground rules for your children, letting them know what is expected of them during the trip, and then following that up with a good plan of action for enforcing those ground rules.  The purpose of this Glacier National Park camping trip is to relax and have fun, but that doesn’t mean that things have to get crazy and chaotic. A good set of ground rules and a stiff plan of action for enforcing those rules will ensure that every one has fun without anything getting broken, or anyone getting hurt in the process.

A first-time camping trip to Glacier National Park is a fun and life-long memory for you and your kids to treasure and enjoy.  It certainly deserves your best efforts in planning for and carrying out the vacation that you and your children will be talking about for years to come.

How To Practice Good Camping Etiquette On Your Next Glacier Park Camping Trip

Your Glacier National Park camping trip should be a time of fun, adventure and making memories that will last a lifetime. But waking up to bad neighbors in the camping spot next to you can have the exact opposite effect on your vacation experience.  Before you head out on your next camping adventure, read through the following article and learn about some of the do’s and dont’s of good camping etiquette so you can avoid campsite conflict.

Always try to honor the campgrounds posted quiet hours.

This is common courtesy  for all the other patrons of the camp site. Just because you are camping in the “wilds” doesn’t mean you have to screech and howl all night like a wild animal.  Be courteous to the fact that your camping neighbors could be trying to get some sleep for their early fishing trip in the morning, or an early morning hike up Whitefish Mountain or one of Glacier Parks 700 plus miles of hiking trails.

Keep your campsite neat and tidy.

Don’t leave garbage and debris lying around.   Make sure you keep your vehicles and recreational toys within the boundaries of your own camp space.  Nobody likes to feel crowded…this includes your campsite neighbors.  Be sure that you keep your gear confined to your own space, and keeping your campsite clean and free from garbage and open food containers will also help keep the forest critters at bay.  There are some ‘neighbors’ that you don’t want to have visiting you in the middle of the night if you can avoid it…neighbors like racoons, squirrels, coyotes and most importantly grizzlies!

Don’t use the sinks in the kitchen to was your dishes.

This is not only in considerate to your fellow campers who might be needing to use the facilities for more pressing reasons, but it can also lead to insect and rodent problems in the bathrooms, and it is not very sanitary for your own dishes.

Always leave your campsite cleaner than it was when you arrived.

Remember, you are just borrowing this campsite for the week or weekend…after you leave someone else who is just as excited and anxious about their vacation as you are is going to be using this space, and they deserve to have as nice of an experience as you had.

Always store your food in a safe place.

Whether that means stowing it away in a bear-proof container or raising it up off the ground with a pulley system or some other bear-proof way of storing your food, the point is that you are getting the food put away and reducing the risk of wild animals wandering into your site looking for a free hand out.  While bear altercations with the public are rare in the Glacier Park area, they do happen, and they can be serious events if you do not take certain precautions like putting your food and food containers away when they are not in use.

Camping in and around Glacier National Park is a fun, safe and exciting experience if you abide by certain camping etiquette practices and make sure to be considerate and respectful of both your neighbors and mother nature so that everyone will have a good camping experience and
