For Your Glacier Vacation
by Astrid Sieger
If you’re planning a vacation at Glacier National Park this summer here are some options that you might consider.
Activities
Hidden Lake HikeLunch at Lake McDonald Lodge
Swimming at Whitefish Lake
Dining
There are many dining options when you visit Whitefish/Glacier Park. Since this is a tourist town there are excellent food choices.Â
Here are some of my favorites:
Breakfast-
The Buffalo
The Stillwater Café
Sun Rise Bistro (my favorite)
Dinner-
Bulldog Grill – excellent burgers
Wasabi- great sushi, nice atmosphere
Whitefish Lake Restaurant – great food, good service, nice atmosphere
Other options:
Glacier Sun Tours offer daily tours where you will learn some valuable insights and cultural past to this incredibly beautiful land known to the Blackfeet people as the “Backbone of the World”. GST provide a Blackfeet perspective tour through Glacier National Park over Going-to-the-Sun Road.
Glacier Boat Co.
serves 5 locations in Glacier National Park including Many Glacier - Lake McDonald - St. Mary Lake - Two Medicine and Apgar. Narrated “scenicruises” boat tours are offered daily in the summer and usually leave every hour, but schedules are subject to change due to weather. Â
And my favorite, whitewater rafting!
There are several rafting companies that offer both guided and non-guided rafting trips with breathtaking views of the mountains of Glacier National Park.
