Glacier National Park & Flathead Lake
In and out of Kalispell: cross the Going-to-the-Sun Road, hike the east side, and return to the lake area via the south boundary.
A week-long getaway dedicated entirely to Glacier National Park: admire the lakes on the west side, cross the Continental Divide via the Going-to-the-Sun Road, stay and hike in the Many Glacier area on the east side, and loop back along the park's southern boundary to avoid backtracking. Finish with a half-day at Flathead Lake. This route features shorter driving times and more hiking hours than the three-park traverse. You can also connect to this itinerary by taking the Empire Builder train to Whitefish, though a rental car is still required within the park.
Logan Pass typically does not open to vehicle traffic until mid-June to early July, and some high-altitude trails remain snow-covered even later.
