Glacier National Park, Mountana, US
I decided to visit Glacier National park as some of my friends told me that it’s a beautiful place. As beauty can be a relative team, I was skeptic initially, especially because I had already visited so many National Parks in US and some of the the mountainous national parks have similar looks, but to my surprise my friends were true. Although its mountainous, Glacier National park is surrounded by huge water body which makes it very different from others. Although most of the Glaciers had disappeared by now some of them still remain and in another 30 years all will disappear, but it’s not only about Glaciers ! As we had gone a long weekend and room booking where done late, it was hard to get bookings in any of the hotels in the National Park area. So I booked a hotel near the nearby city Kalispel, MT. The ride thru vast Montana state itself is an enchanting experience. It’s almost two to eight hours ride from Kalispel via western entrance of Glacier national park to the eastern entrance of the park which takes you to the city of Browning. The entire way is a part of the highway system 2 of Montana.
There are plenty of spots nearby to stop and watch. But most time consuming once are the hikes. There are long and short hikes through out. So you need to consider your hiking needs if you plan to go for one. There are hikes of moderate to hard difficulty.
