Glacier Park Lodge - East Glacier Park, Montana
This video gives an overview of the Glacier Park Lodge in East Glacier Park Montana. This 100-years-old hotel is wonderful and located very close to the Amtrak Station in East Glacier Park. There are no TV's or Internet connection in the rooms, so everyone tends to hang out in the huge lobby areas, which I think is great!! Everyone is very friendly to each other, with people hanging out everywhere playing games and doing puzzles (provided by the hotel), chatting, eating, drinking, browsing the gift shop, and enjoying the great scenery. At night, they also have live music. Heather and Nolan played chess both against each other and others at the hotel who asked if they could play. It was really fun. They basically did this until our train arrived at midnight (late, as all Amtrak trains traveling out in this area are!). There is also a large restaurant and café, which includes a TV. We ate there, and I highly recommend the huckleberry ice cream and pudding! It was so unique and good, and you can only get find it in this area of the United States! We also took a full-day Red Bus Tour, which originated from the hotel. The tour was really fun, though it would have been even more spectacular if Mother Nature could have been cooperative! (it rained the entire day, and a long stretch of Going To the Sun Road was closed due to a recent June Blizzard!!). I loved the cute red bus. I had to get a replica one from the gift shop. :)
2012 - Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
As part of my 9-week road trip back home, I passed through Glacier National Park located in the state of Montana. I drove across the popular Going to the Sun Road that takes you through the heart of the park. During the time that I visited the park, there were many forest fires within the state and adjacent states - you will notice the poor air quality in this video as a result. Nevertheless, I managed to complete two small hikes that took me up to two lakes. I only spent one full day driving through this park and didn't have the chance to explore the park to its fullest. Perhaps in the future I will re-visit it and explore more of its back country.

Glacier National Park ~ Montana, USA
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).[3]
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. 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.
Many Glacier Hotel - Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
As we finished our two day stay at Yellowstone National Park we headed up to Montana to visit Glacier National Park and stay 3 nights at Many Glacier Hotel. I read about the area and hotel online but it could not do it justice to how our experience was when we first set our eyes on Glacier National Park as we drove inside the park on our way to Many Glacier Hotel. Then getting to the hotel and seeing the scenery was just fantastic. This was at the beginning of July and to see the snow mixed in with the green all over the mountains made it more beautiful. I did not know how much snow would be around at the beginning of July and I was surprised by how much was still there. The Hotel was very rustic and the feel inside was very comfortable. There are no tv's, no cell phone use or pc's to use. It made it more enjoyable in my opinion because you could relax inside or out and just enjoy the scenery to its fullest all around the area and not be bothered by electronic gadgets :-)
When we were there the weather was very unpredictable with rain at times and then bright sunshine. The clouds coming over the mountains made for a perfect setting also. It was in the 50's to high 60's for our stay and we had one awesome day of just sunshine when we went hiking around Swiftcurrent Lake.
This area is VERY remote and it adds to your stay here at Many Glacier Hotel. We did see wildlife, a Moose family, Mountain Goats, Prairie Dogs and even a Grizzly Bear through (binoculars) and even then was hard to make out.. but we were not dissapointed in NOT seeing that bear any closer..
I'll have two other videos, one of our hike around Swiftcurrent Lake and another from our Red Bus Tour we took for a day. Don't miss either video because they are spectacular viewing, especially the Red Bus Tour up to Logan Pass and the Continental Divide.. WOW!
Here is some more info on Many Glacier Hotel from Wikipedia:
Many Glacier Hotel is a historic hotel located within Glacier National Park, Montana, USA, on the east shore of Swiftcurrent Lake. The building is designed as a series of chalets, up to four stories tall, and stretches for a substantial distance along the lakeshore. The building has a Swiss alpine theme both on the outside and on the inside. The foundation is made of stone, with a wood superstructure. The outside is finished with brown-painted wood siding, and the window framing and balconies have wood sawn in Swiss jigsawn patterns. On the inside, the four-story lobby is surrounded by balconies, whose railings are patterned after Swiss designs.
Construction began at Many Glacier Hotel in 1914 and was finished in just 1 year on July 4, 1915. The Great Northern Railway was establishing a series of hotels and backcountry chalets in the park and the Many Glacier Hotel was the Gem of the West. This was part of an effort by Louis Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway and son of James J. Hill, to establish Glacier National Park as a destination resort and to promote the area as the American Alps. To this end, Hill chose a Swiss chalet style for the hotels and chalets. The Glacier Park Lodge (previously known as the Glacier Park Hotel) and the Many Glacier Hotel were intended to be the core structures, while the chalets and campgrounds were sited in the backcountry within an easy day's ride or hike from one of the hotels or another chalet. The chalets were intended to entice visitors to leave the hotels and see the backcountry in a more rustic manner. These chalets were especially used during the early 1900s when the Hotel first opened, and the main attraction in the park was horseback riding. In the early days of Many Glacier Hotel only the rich and famous could afford to stay in this beautiful structure and the rustic chalets throughout the area.
Today, the hotel still maintains its historic character, in part by not placing televisions in guest rooms. Most rooms either have views of Swiftcurrent Lake or the surrounding mountain scenery. Facilities include the Ptarmigan Dining room, the Swiss Room Lounge and Interlaken Lounge, Heidi's Snack Shop, and Grizzly Track Traders Gift Shop. The hotel is a contributing property in the National Historic Landmark, Great Northern Railway Buildings district. The main attractions in the area include hiking, boat rides or rentals, or simply enjoying the western environment that Many Glacier provides.

Amazing Going-to-the-Sun Road (Short Version) – Glacier National Park, Montana MT.
Ride with us (from a driver’s point of view) as we travel up the west side of Glacier National Park towards Logan Pass and the continental divide. Going-to-the-Sun road is an engineering masterpiece and is considered to be one of the most scenic highways in the world.
Glacier National Park was originally designed to be seen by horseback. A road into the center of the park was requested once automobiles became popular with tourists. Men labored 20 years building this marvelous roadway designed to blend with Glacier’s magnificent landscape.
Going-to-the-Sun road was dedicated in 1933. Stunning vistas await you as you travel the 50 mile scenic highway. It was the first national park road designed to complement scenic wonders. Logan Pass sits on the continental divide at 6,646 feet above sea level.
This is the first road to be designated a National Historic Landmark and is a National Civil Engineering Landmark. The road is also on the National Register of Historic Places.

Going To The Sun Road - Hiking with Mountain Goats - Glacier National Park, Logan Pass - Montana
After setting into our St.Mary's/East Glacier KOA campground, we head into Glacier National Park for a day of exploring. We take the shuttle up the Going to the Sun road. It was an easy, quick way to avoid the hassle of parking. Once at the highest point, Logan Pass, we hop out and take a hike to Hidden Lake. This beautiful lake is nestled in the mountains and we were in awe of the wildflowers, mountain streams, and wildlife we saw. We lost count of the number of mountain goats we passed!
