- This video will describe the best things to do in Glacier National Park, Montana including the best hikes and more. I took the footage in this video over the course of two separate trips to the park. Even though I've spent nearly 10 days in the park and hiked over 50 miles, I'd still love to go back and spend more time here.
Below are some of the links discussed in the video and links to all of my Glacier National Park blog posts that provide even more information on what to expect when visiting the Crown of the Continent!

Talk about making me want to check out glacier national park! Incredibly helpful guide and love the 4k quality!
Glad you enjoyed it! Let me know if you have any questions when you’re planning your trip!
Absolutely breathtaking, thumbnail is stunning! Outstanding scenery my friend!
Thanks glad you enjoyed! And I can’t recommend canoeing on Swiftcurrent Lake enough it was a blast (from the thumbnail)
Thanks for all your tips
Any time!
_Cool and interesting hiking tutorial, completely guide with clearly narrated enhanced by stunning beauty of wonderful nature scenery. Great to be able to watched it, thank you so much for always sharing wonderful inspiration._
glad you enjoyed it!
Very instructive!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for all the tips man! I’ll definitely be referring back to this bud when I plan my trip to Glacier NP.
For sure man glad you enjoyed! Keep me posted when you get settled into Denver I’ll help you explore out there
@@travelwithwes will do. Looking to be out there by September! Right in time to enjoy the beautiful fall season.
Great video thanks
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! I recently was in Glacier and snagged a canoe at Many Glacier Hotel. Highly recommend if you can fit it in your schedule :)
Glad you enjoyed! Good call on snagging that canoe it was so much fun ;)
Amazing guide and resources. Thank you for sharing
No problem glad you enjoyed!
This is a great video especially for the avid hikers! We plan to do most of the ones you mentioned. Have you ever done the cracker lake hike?
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it! I haven’t had a chance to do that one yet, definitely on my list for next time we go back. I’ve heard that’s a good one to do on horseback if it’s something you (or anyone else) is interested in as well.
We only had time for that or Iceberg Lake so we went with Iceberg!
Hiking in Many Glacier. Came upon a group of @20 people. 100 ft ahead was a bend in the trail. Beyond that bend was a bear, a ranger, and another group of people. At one point the bear stuck her nose around the bend to see if there was anywhere to go. Several people in the group pulled out their bear spray. 😮 I wanted to ask them what their plan was. Were they going to be heroes and run ahead to save us? Or will they stand their ground and just spray them in the crowd? This is why I hike alone. Don't be stupid.
Definitely gotta be smart and aware out there
I really want to go there but am absolutely terrified of grizzly bears.
The reality is you could definitely run into one out there. But the other side of that coin is that they generally aren’t interested in humans. If you practice good bear safety you’ll be fine. Be sure to make noise as you hike and carry bear spray. There are lots of good videos on TH-cam discussing what to do if you ever have a close encounter! Don’t let that possibility keep you from exploring Glacier.
You said a ceratin part of the park wasn't open until mid July? I'm going June 22-28. Hope its all open then.
Going to the Sun Road (which provides access to Logan’s Pass) and allows you to cut through the park, doesn’t fully open some years until mid July. It really just depends on the snowfall each year.
If it’s closed when you visit, you should still be able to reach Avalanche Lake, Lake McDonald and I would assume the Many Glacier area. Two Medicine will likely be open as well.
But Logan’s Pass gives you access to Hidden Lake and The Highline, which might not be accessible in June.
@@travelwithwes If Logan Pass is open when we go does Going to the Sun Road give you all the same views as the Highline? It says the Highline trail goes right above Going to the Sun Road. But is it just for a few miles or does the highline trail go above the Sun Road for the entire trail?
The views are different once you get past the short section near the start that follows the road. It’s a tough hike but one of my favorites in the park especially if you make it to Granite Park Chalet and the Grinnell Overlook. Just be prepared for a long day!
