description Glacier National Park Overview
Known as the 'Crown of the Continent,' Glacier boasts rugged mountains, pristine forests, and stunning glacial-carved valleys. The engineering marvel Going-to-the-Sun Road provides breathtaking access across the Continental Divide. The park is a hiker's paradise with over 700 miles of trails leading to turquoise lakes, active glaciers, and high alpine passes teeming with wildlife like grizzlies and mountain goats. Its backcountry camping is exceptional.
As the namesake glaciers recede, the park's value as a living lesson in climate change adds poignancy. Its raw, untamed beauty and world-class hiking earn it a top score.
