Without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking national parks we've ever visited! Glacier National…read morePark completely exceeded our expectations and gave us some of the most unforgettable experiences. There was something incredible around every corner: Wildlife: We were lucky enough to see grizzly bears, black bears, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, birds, and so much more. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat was truly special. Glaciers & mountain views: Ancient glaciers surrounded by towering peaks, dramatic landscapes, and endless mountain views it honestly felt unreal. Turquoise lakes: The crystal-clear, turquoise waters looked almost too perfect to be real. Every lake felt like a postcard. Boat rides: A peaceful way to take in the beauty of the park, surrounded by glacier-fed waters and stunning mountain scenery. Hiking: Every trail we explored was worth it! Avalanche Lake, Hidden Lake, Running Eagle Falls, and more each one offered something completely different and beautiful. Wildflowers: Colorful wildflowers and bear grass were everywhere, adding even more beauty to an already incredible landscape. Huckleberry ice cream: And of course, you can't visit Glacier without trying huckleberry ice cream! Such a fun and delicious Glacier tradition. From the wildlife and glaciers to the turquoise lakes, scenic drives, hikes, and peaceful boat rides, Glacier National Park truly has it all. We left with so many beautiful memories and a camera roll full of pictures we'll be looking at for a long time. Absolutely unforgettable and 100% worth the trip!

Where to start?! This has been a bucket list item for some time and not sure why I ever waited…read more If this is on your list GO NOW it does not disappoint!! Solo visit so easy to get up early and beat the crowds through Going to the Sun Road and Logan Pass parking drama. Perks: wildlife still out and about, easy parking to be had along the road and all lots, not a lot of crowds for optimum photo catching. Cooler on those hot days! Cons: no services open or available so have to have everything you need planned out until things open (normally 8 or 9 o'clock). I will have to venture back to grab a stamp for my NPS passport. I could spend a year here and still be excited to go and see more or hike another trail. It is a beautiful and pristine park to respectfully enjoy. I used the general store at Rising Sun mid morning to grab a few gift and snack items as well as refill water (bottle filler inside or purchase drinks of choice). Has just about anything you need there for purchase along with bathroom and showers. I can't speak for the park service visitor centers at Apgar nor Logan Pass as I didn't use as they were not open when I entered (save restroom at Logan). Logan Pass has free parking for 3 hours if you can get a spot. You do have to use the kiosk to out in plate data which provides time stamp and place on dash. Of note, there is a lot of places where you are driving by sheer cliffs with falling rock hazards with tight areas. Be mindful of the speed limits when reducing to 25 as they are normally around these tight areas or people congested areas. Also be courteous, there are plenty of pull off areas if you prefer to go slow, pull off and let others proceed smartly. Whether you are a hiker for the trails or a boater to grab one of the rentals to take out on the lake there is plenty to do here. Items book well in advance so book early and come enjoy one amazing National Park!!

On the other end during the winter, it's turned into an ice skating rink. It's lovely in the spring and summer. It's kept really well manicured. There is a path that winds throughout the park so you can walk your dogs. Bathrooms are older but when you gotta go, you gotta go! Attached is a water park for kiddos in the summer and a skate park. The skate park is free, the water park charges a fee for entrance. Sometimes there are shady characters around so I wouldn't recommend just dropping your kids off.....

I'm watching my neighbors shit and piss in the woods multiple times WITHOUT digging a hole. What in the $&!? Is wrong either way the state parks/rangers YES YOU RANGERS you're charging full price and no one even has anywhere to go take a shit or a piss, there's no honey pots out or anything. What the fuck? If I hadn't paid before, I knew the bathrooms and showers were closed. I would never have stayed here. Highly highly highly recommend the state park, plus it's dirty, my campsite is full of trash and there's huge rocks lane everywhere including the fire pit

Walking alongside the river is nice, and you can climb up the hill for a challenge! I have also enjoyed the picnic tables in picturesque, shady areas.

Both are large and have a mix of slides, climbing stations, monkey bars, tunnels, etc. The oark is well maintained and appropriately used by kids supervised by adults. There's no graffiti or older kids who have hijacked the park. There's was some creepy middle aged women who was sitting by herself on a bench trying to lure my toddler to her. But I was on high alert and she eventually left. We were in Whitefish 5 days and went to this park 5 times.
