Many Glacier - Swiftcurrent

Definitely worth the drive, even though the road is not completely paved and quite rough in many areas. We did not stay overnight, just came to hike, and have lunch at Ptarmigan Dining Hall. The parking lot sits high above the hotel, with a number of steps getting you down to lake level. There are multiple opportunities to take great photos along the way. The inside of the hotel has that wonderful lodge-feel that you get in many of our national parks.

Many Glacier A Hidden Gem!We went late in the day and saw so much wild life! We saw Grizzlys, Brown Bear, and Moose! 5 Bears and 2 Moose in the spand of about 2 hours. Go before sunset!Fun Facts:⠀1️⃣ Many Glacier boasts over 700 lakes and stunning alpine scenery!2️⃣ This area is home to abundant wildlife, including bears and moose!3️⃣ Did you know that Many Glacier Hotel is an architectural marvel built in 1915? ⠀Hiking Advice: Don't miss the Grinnell Glacier hike for breathtaking views! Also, Iceberg Lake Trail is a must for wildlife enthusiasts. If you want to shave 3 miles off of your out and back hike, then I recommend getting the boat tour . They will bring you 1.5 miles closer and on the trail to Grinnell Glacier, AND you will have a return trip when you are finishing your hike! Also, with a boat cruise purchase, you can enter the park whenever you want! Beats waking up at 5AM!Dining: Treat yourself at the Many Glacier Hotel's Swiss Lounge or the Ptarmigan Dining Room for a taste of local delicacies! The campground down the road has a great gift shop and quick service food and drinks!Other Must Dos: Take a boat tour on Swiftcurrent Lake and join a ranger led program to learn more about the park's natural wonders. ⠀Many Glacier is around 30 minutes from St. Mary. Perfect for a quick day trip! You will need to have a pass to get in between 6 3. We recommend saving this for early morning or late afternoon to see the wildlife, and if you go for the hike, arrive early.⠀This area was our favorite for wildlife spotting! In just a couple of hours, we encountered 4 bears and 2 majestic moose. Such a wild experience! ⠀Nearby activities: Hiking and animal watching.

Loved our stay here and would stay the next time. Rooms were what you’d expect at a national park lodge-rustic-and there was no daily room service. The draw is the location and proximity to amazing hikes. Loved meeting the national park workers in the dining room and talking with other travelers. My sense is that this hotel is the best in the park.

Absolutely stunning. A classic, National Park lodge with a long history. The setting is just unparalleled and you'll see a lot of wildlife, even within steps from the hotel. Plenty of great hiking nearby.Nearby activities: Hiking the Grinnell-Glacier Trail was a nice half-day trip. We walked the whole route but you can take the boat to cut your trip time.

Historical and Iconic hotel inside Glacier National Park. We stayed here during our vacation at Glacier National Park and really had a wonderful time. The park is conveniently located to a lot of hiking trails. The view from the Hotel is amazing. They have restaurants inside and they even have a park ranger that gives information and talk about the park and its natural surroundings and habitats. Highly recommend staying in this place.
