If you like to hike, Glacier National Park is the vacation destination for you. There are also over 730 miles of trails for hikers to enjoy within Glacier National Park. That's a lot of hiking. The park also boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in the west. I've been to both Yellowstone and Glacier and in my opinion; Glacier National Park has better scenery than Yellowstone. I realize that if you haven't been to Glacier you may think I'm crazy, but taking nothing away from Yellowstone, I personally think Glacier National Park offers even better scenery.
For those of you interested in viewing wildlife while hiking, Glacier won't disappoint in this area either. There is always the opportunity to see wildlife, some of which would include: Black bears, Grizzly bears, Foxes, Coyote's, Porcupines, Gophers, Squirrels, White tailed Deer, Mule Dear, Moose, Mountain goats, and Bighorn Sheep. For those hikers interested in seeing wildlife, Glacier National Park will not disappoint.
Glacier National Park is one of the largest and most intact ecosystems in North America. There are over fifty glaciers within the park, thus the name. There are also over 200 lakes and streams in Glacier National Park. The largest lake is Lake Macdonald, and the various streams and river hold nice populations of wild trout. With all of this water in the park, getting too hot won't be a problem. Just be careful, because the shocking cold of glacier water is sometimes quite a surprise.
For all of you hikers that like to catch fish while on a hike, Glacier National Park is the place for you as well. There are tons of lakes and streams within the park that wild trout call home. Native Rainbow, brook, and Cutthroat trout can all be found within the boundaries of Glacier National Park. The park has special regulations for anglers so make sure you inquire at a ranger station before wetting a line.
For hiking Glacier National Park is hard to beat. Whether it be a little day hike or you're looking to spend multiple days camping and hiking, Glacier National Park can accommodate everyone. For you next hiking vacation, give Glacier National Park the consideration it deserves. You'll be glad you did and have some of the best hiking there is to be had in the Rocky Mountains.
