July to August is the perfect time to visit iceberg lake!

​Glacier National Park spreads out over 1 million acres and is home to over 130 named lakes, rugged mountains, and dense forests. Established as the 10th national park in the United States, it was carved by ancient glaciers, creating U-shaped valleys. It once had 150 glaciers; only about 25 remain today, with projections indicating they may vanish by 2030 due to climate change. The area was home to multiple tribes, such as the Blackfeet, Salish, Kootenai, and Pend d’Oreille, who have inhabited the region for over 10,000 years.

Large hotel directly on the lake shore, restaurant with a view over the lake, large hiking car park 100m away

Very beautiful mountain lake with blue color, many small squirrels on the shore

Stoney Indian Pass is the route less traveled by as CDT hikers begin (or end) their journey, though as you can see, it is absolutely worth taking as an alternate if you choose not to enter Canada! Along the west side of the pass, you are treated to the gorgeous Stoney Indian Lake, while the east side of the pass is laden with waterfall after breathtaking waterfall, all set against the backdrop of stunning glacially carved peaks!

Montana’s Saint Mary Lake is on the east side of Glacier National Park and is the second largest lake in Glacier Park. It's 10 miles long and in a valley with mountains on either side. The lake can have strong winds and cold water, but it has unbeatable views. In winter, the lake can freeze over completely!

A pristine mountain lake that is 100% worth the hike up. From this spot you have a beautiful view all the way to the waterfalls flowing down from Mount Grinnell and Upper Grinnell Lake.

Big five-story hotel in the heart of Glacier National Park. From the hotel, you'll be able to enjoy almost everything Glacier National Park has to offer on day trips. Only the most remote areas will be a multi-day trip from here.
