Forging Your Own Path Across a Glacier-Carved Landscape

Mountain trails offer stunning views of geologic grandeur. Glacier-fed lakes like Grinnell Lake (top right) and Lake McDonald (above, bottom left) lay like giant, blue-green gemstones across the landscape. Visitors can expect to spot local wildlife, like mountain goats, bighorn sheep, elk, bears, and bald eagles in their natural habitat. While some spectacular views can be seen from an RV, Glacier National Park’s greatest treasures will be found on foot, making it important for RVers to plan routes and parking spots ahead of time.
