Distinctive Accommodations
6 days/5 nightsNight 1: Glacier Park Lodge
Built in 1912, the lodge is nestled in East Glacier at the foot of Dancing Lady Mountain. With an outdoor swimming pool, day spa, lounge and fine dining restaurant, this property is an exception to the common “basic needs only” national park properties.
Night 2-3: Lake McDonald Lodge
Lake McDonald Lodge is a three-and-one-half-story structure built on the eastern shore of glaciated, picturesque Lake McDonald. In keeping in the era in which all of the rooms were built, they offer guests modest amenities and old-world style accommodations resulting in a one-of-a kind, National Park lodging experience.
Nights 4 & 5: Grouse Mountain Lodge
Treat yourself to the premier choice in Montana lodging at Grouse Mountain Lodge. Inside, you're surrounded by the rustic luxury of an upscale western Montana lodge. Guest rooms combine warmth and appeal with design and spaciousness to provide that pampered feeling.
A few more reasons why you've gotta go…
1. Going-to-the-Sun Road: This iconic stretch of highway spans 50 miles through Glacier park, around (and through) mountainsides and over the Continental Divide at Logan Pass.
2. Big Mountain: Hike the hill that, in winter, is transformed into a mecca for downhill skiing.
3. Trail of the Cedars: A relaxing hike through giant 80 foot cedar trees, colorful rock formations and breathtaking waterfalls.
4. The wildlife: Glacier is the only place in the continental U.S. that still has all of the predators that were present when Europeans first arrived in North America.
