GREETINGS FROM GLACIER COUNTRY
Thanks so much for considering a visit to this amazing place we get to call home—Western Montana’s Glacier Country. If you’re already here, or on your way now, welcome! We’re happy you’ve chosen to explore this special corner of Montana. While you’re with us, please remember to recreate responsibly, tread lightly, leave no trace, and be patient and kind in our small towns. We sure are delighted to have you visit our home.
Encompassing millions of acres, Glacier Country offers plenty of space to get some distance and fresh mountain air in destinations unlike anywhere else in the world. Natural wonders abound here, like winding rivers, towering peaks, sprawling landscapes and starry night skies. Explore the rushing waters of Kootenai Falls, the expansive backcountry terrain of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, Flathead Lake—the largest freshwater lake in the West—the teal-colored waters of the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, and the Crown of the Continent—Glacier National Park.
Among these stunning examples of Mother Nature’s finest, you’ll find warm Montana welcomes and plenty of small-town allure, plus two Tribal Nations, authentic western experiences, guest ranches, farm-to-table restaurants, incredible cultural events and one-of-a-kind moments that exist only under our signature big blue sky.
If you’re ready to start planning your trip to Montana, we can help. Our call center’s travel counselors can give you the most up-to-date information on Glacier Country, including road status and current conditions for the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park and powder reports for our seven downhill ski areas. We’ve also got insider information on exploring some of the region’s best off-the-beaten-path destinations and places to spread out, renew and restore.
