Introduction
Glacier Country is Montana’s westernmost region, where snowcapped peaks and lakes scattered like jewels set the stage to create a one-of-a-kind experience. Here you’ll find the perfect blend of unspoiled nature, modern amenities and Old West charm. It’s home to awe-inspiring Glacier National Park (otherwise known as the crown of the continent) world-class fly-fishing, wild and scenic rivers, and an amazing variety of watchable wildlife.
But Glacier Country’s beauty is more than skin deep. Visitors will find a land rich in history and culture. You can follow the footsteps of famous explorers, witness a sacred Native American ceremony, take part in an actual cattle drive, or see modern-day artisans practicing centuries-old techniques.
This part of Montana is larger than some states and, in these millions of acres of stunning scenery, outdoor enthusiasts will find one of the finest year-round playgrounds in the world. There are thousands of miles of trails and back roads to hike, bike and horseback, countless lakes and rivers for rafting, kayaking and canoeing, and fabulous championship golf courses.
In the winter months, the region is transformed into a winter wonderland with six downhill ski and snowboard areas, miles of groomed cross-country trails and some of the country’s best snowmobiling. Other popular winter activities include snowshoeing, ice fishing, ice skating and even dogsledding.
After you’re done taking in the sights and sounds of Glacier Country, you’ll find quaint lodges and modern resorts to stay at, dining options ranging from home cooked meals to award-winning gourmet cuisine, and vibrant small towns to explore.
