We didn’t just magically appear at Glacier National Park in our van. The journey to and fro was full of lots of amazing things and we had quite an enjoyable drive getting there and back. This is a picture story of our 12 day trek to Glacier NP and back.
Try this on for size – according to the National Park Service, Glacier NP is over a million acres in size, has 175 mountains large enough to be given a name, and includes 762 lakes, 563 streams, and over 200 named waterfalls within the park boundaries. Add to that 25 named glaciers, and over 745 miles of maintained hiking trails and you have a recipe for fabulous getaway in nature.
