BROADEN YOUR PERSPECTIVE

Expand your trip beyond the park.

Chances are, you’re here to see Glacier National Park, and we couldn’t be happier to show it off. It’s a pretty amazing year-round destination, and there are some incredible things to see and do beyond park boundaries as well—especially during the high season of summer or when services within the park are limited. We’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite things to do just outside the park. Remember to take your time exploring so you don’t miss any of the stunning scenery. Note that some of our roads are a bit rural and cell service can be spotty. We like it this way, and suspect you will, too.

1. Don’t miss Two Sisters Café, just outside the park near Babb on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Enjoy locally sourced, handmade fare.

2. Tee up at Meadow Lake Golf Course in Columbia Falls, rated 4.5 stars by Golf Digest and “must play” by Golf Magazine.

3. Saddle up for a horseback-riding adventure with Swan Mountain Outfitters through breathtaking mountains, meadows and valleys.

4. Paddle Hungry Horse Reservoir in a kayak from Sky Eco Rentals.

5. Experience quintessential Montana. Book a fly-fishing trip with Glacier Anglers.

6. Get the ultimate treetop experience at Glacier Highline Adventure Park in Coram.

7. Rent a stand-up paddleboard from Glacier Raft Company or let them guide the way.

8. Visit Columbia Falls for great food, Montana beer, locally owned shops and a weekly summer farmers market.

9. Take the train from Glacier National Park to Cut Bank. Or opt for a longer ride from Whitefish west to east through the park to Cut Bank.

10. Visit the Museum of the Plains Indian in Browning for an American Indian history lesson.
