Although Glacier National Park was the country’s 10th National Park, it is by far the most picturesque park in the US. The park has over 700 miles of trails that lead to some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet.

There is something to interest everyone particularly kids. There is plenty of wild life to be seen and that surely interests youngsters and adults alike.

The average visitor spends three to four days in the area, although you easily could fill a week with activities in the park. We spent 5 days in the park with two kids under the age of 5! In those 5 days we hiked on average of 3-4 miles most days and saw plenty of wildlife from black bears to moose to bald eagles and white-horned sheep. We even took a boat ride on a boat that was built on a lake right in the park and has been in service since 1924!
Even though the park has 13 campgrounds within the boundries of the park itself, we stayed in a cozy cabin 15 minutes from the park. The campground reservations get sold out very quickly!
Investing in sturdy hiking shoes, a good camera with lots of extra battries and a kid carrier for families with young children is an absolute must for this park. But perhaps the most important thing to have when visiting Glacier National Park is a sense of adventure and the promise to yourself to step out of the car and go exploring!
