Winter in Montana's Glacier Country
There are few places where winter is embraced the way it is in Western Montana’s Glacier Country and with 300+ inches of light snow that blankets six downhill ski areas, untouched backcountry terrain and miles of snowmobiling trails, it’s no wonder Montana was one of the locations featured in Warren Miller’s most recent movie “Here, There & Everywhere.”
Glacier National Park RV Campground: Columbia Falls RV Park
Glacier National Park RV Campground: Columbia Falls RV Park:
Columbia Falls RV Park is a full service RV Resort and Campground located just minutes from the west entrance to Glacier National Park.
As the name suggests, the Columbia Falls RV Park is located right at the edge of the town of Columbia Falls in northwest Montana. Columbia Falls is a beautiful little laid-back mountain town which is big on recreation and hospitality.
It also happens to be The Gateway to Glacier National Park which means you will only be a few minutes away from all of the beauty and recreational opportunities that Glacier National Park has become known for.
The town of Columbia Falls is nestled up against the northern tip of the Swan Mountain Range, and the mighty Flathead River flows through the east end of town, just down the road from the RV park, and provides ample opportunities for fun and recreation like fishing, floating, swimming and boating.
Choosing the Columbia Falls RV Park and Cabins as the basecamp for your vacation to Glacier National Park provides you with many great advantages that you might not be able to find if you chose to stay at any of the other campgrounds or RV parks in the area.
Staying at Columbia Falls RV Park puts you right in the center of all that Columbia Falls has to offer, plus you are just a quick 20 minutes drive from the town of West Glacier and the most popular entrance to Glacier National Park.
Many of the guides and outfitters that service the park and surrounding area are located along the road between Columbia Falls and West Glacier, so if you are planing to do any whitewater rafting, or fishing, or horseback riding, or any helicopter or aerial tours of the park, staying in Columbia Falls will put you in the ideal spot to access all of Glacier National Parks greatest features and attractions.
It is pretty easy to see why the Columbia Falls RV Park is the clear winner and first choice when it comes to selecting your basecamp for your Glacier National Park vacation this year.

Glacier Explorers, Aoraki Mt Cook
Be humbled by nature. Where mountains tower over you and ice bergs surround you, it’s easy to feel small. Explore the Tasman Glacier at Aoraki Mt Cook, in New Zealand.
An amazing encounter with New Zealand's largest glacier, the Tasman Glacier. Explore and learn about the ever-changing glacial landscape as you journey across the terminal lake in our custom-built MAC Boats with your experienced guides. Icebergs of every shape and size periodically tear away from the face of the glacier into the rapidly growing lake. Lateral moraines rear up almost 200m to remind us of the scale and greatness that the glacier has reached in previous times.
With the effects of global warming and other climatic processes taking their toll on New Zealand glaciers, their retreat is imminent. Now approximately 27km long and 600m deep, the Tasman Glacier is melting and calving at an exponentially increasing rate. In recent years the Tasman Glacier has changed from a 'melting' to a 'calving and melting' terminus, resulting in a terminal lake that is rapidly increasing in size.

Glacier National Park, The Crown of North America.
Glacier National Park is a national park located in the U.S. state of Montana, on the Canada–United States border with the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. The park encompasses over 1 million acres (4,000 km2) and includes parts of two mountain ranges (sub-ranges of the Rocky Mountains), over 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants, and hundreds of species of animals. This vast pristine ecosystem is the centerpiece of what has been referred to as the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem, a region of protected land encompassing 16,000 square miles (41,000 km2).
The region that became Glacier National Park was first inhabited by Native Americans. Upon the arrival of European explorers, it was dominated by the Blackfeet in the east and the Flathead in the western regions. Under pressure, the Blackfeet ceded the mountainous parts of their treaty lands in 1895 to the federal government; it later became part of the park. Soon after the establishment of the park on May 11, 1910, a number of hotels and chalets were constructed by the Great Northern Railway. These historic hotels and chalets are listed as National Historic Landmarks and a total of 350 locations are on the National Register of Historic Places. By 1932 work was completed on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, later designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, which provided greater accessibility for automobiles into the heart of the park.
The mountains of Glacier National Park began forming 170 million years ago when ancient rocks were forced eastward up and over much younger rock strata. Known as the Lewis Over-thrust, these sedimentary rocks are considered to have some of the finest examples of early life fossils on Earth. The current shapes of the Lewis and Livingston mountain ranges and positioning and size of the lakes show the telltale evidence of massive glacial action, which carved U-shaped valleys and left behind moraines which impounded water, creating lakes. Of the estimated 150 glaciers which existed in the park in the mid-19th century, only 25 active glaciers remained by 2010. Scientists studying the glaciers in the park have estimated that all the glaciers may disappear by 2030 if current climate patterns persist.
Glacier National Park has almost all its original native plant and animal species. Large mammals such as Grizzly bears, moose, and mountain goats, as well as rare or endangered species like wolverines and Canadian lynxes, inhabit the park. Hundreds of species of birds, more than a dozen fish species, and a few reptile and amphibian species have been documented. The park has numerous ecosystems ranging from prairie to tundra. Notably, the easternmost forests of western red cedar and hemlock grow in the southwest portion of the park. Large forest fires are uncommon in the park. However, in 2003 over 13% of the park burned.
Glacier National Park borders Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada—the two parks are known as the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park and were designated as the world's first International Peace Park in 1932. Both parks were designated by the United Nations as Biosphere Reserves in 1976, and in 1995 as World Heritage sites. In April 2017, the joint Park received a fourth designation with provisional Gold Tier designation as Waterton-Glacier International Dark Sky Park through the International Dark Sky Association., the first transboundary dark sky park.
