West Glacier

Serving as the western gateway to Glacier National Park, West Glacier is "guide central" with many adventures in and around the park beginning and ending in West Glacier. Local guides are available for hikes, whitewater rafting, scenic floats, fly-fishing adventures, overnight excursion and heli-tours. In the summer months, this bustling community has Montana-minded shops, great local dining and numerous accommodations. While limited services are available in winter, West Glacier is an ideal launching point for discovering the park's undiscovered season and provides resources and lodging for cross-country skiing, skijoring and snowshoeing in and around the park.
