Going to the Sun Road- Glacier NP

One of the most amazing highlights of Glacier National Park is a drive on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. This engineering marvel spans 50 miles through the park's wild interior, winding around mountainsides and treating visitors to some of the best sights in northwest Montana.



On the shore of Lake McDonald, the lodge is reminiscent of a Swiss chalet.

The western side of Glacier NP is affected by weather from the Pacific coast, so it is generally warmer and moister making the wildflower displays exceptional..
