West Glacier

Chris Sawicki

West Glacier, MT

Adventures in and around Glacier National Park often begin and end in West Glacier. As the western gateway to Glacier National Park, West Glacier has been dubbed "guide central." Local guides offer hiking and fly-fishing trips, whitewater and scenic rafting excursions, backcountry camping and trail rides. This bustling community has Montana-minded shops, great local dining and numerous accommodations, as well as a golf course with great views and affordable rates. Quieter during winter, West Glacier does offer lodging during the park's slower season.
