This area is really so incredibly beautiful.

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

Reaching the summit of Logan Pass by bike is a true high point—literally and figuratively—of any ride in Glacier National Park. At 6,646 feet, the pass straddles the Continental Divide and offers sweeping views of alpine meadows, rugged peaks, and likely some mountain goats. The visitor center at the top has restrooms, water, interpretive displays, and rangers on hand to answer questions. It’s also a jumping-off point for iconic hikes like the Hidden Lake Overlook and Highline Trail.

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

The Virginia Falls are a waterfall in Glacier National Park that is worth seeing. They are relatively easy to reach on foot from the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The distance is about 3 km, and the elevation changes are moderate. The challenge, however, will be to get one of the few parking spaces.

Jackson Glacier Overlook has one of the best views of a glacier on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. In 1966, Jackson Glacier measured 316 acres but by 2015 it had receded 187 acres. Jackson Glacier is visible from the parking area and road, and is where the Gunsight Lake begins.

Triple Divide Peak is an extremely unique geological feature! Two of the continents principal divides (the Northern Divide and the Continental Divide) converge at this exact point and form the “hydrological apex” of North America. That is to say, if a drop of rain landed on the very top of this peak, it could flow into any one of three oceans: The Hudson Bay, the Atlantic, or the Pacific! Rainfall on the southwestern side of the peak will eventually drain into the Pacific Ocean near Astoria, Oregon. Rainfall on the northern side will drain into the Hudson Bay. And rainfall on the southeastern side will make its way down to New Orleans, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico- part of the Atlantic Ocean. Incredible!
