Operating Hours & Seasons

Glacier National Park is open every day of the year. Winter weather tends to dictate when most visitor facilities open and close. Generally from late May to early September, facilities are open to welcome summer visitors.

Many people enjoy the "off-seasons" as a time when the park is a bit quieter. Fall can be spectacular, but visitors will need to be more self reliant, as facilities begin to close down for the season. Winter provides a carpet of snow that makes for some good cross-country skiing opportunities. Spring tends to arrive late and last a very brief time, but can provide an interesting and quiet experience.

This trip will be a hiking adventure for moderate to advanced level hikers.
Over half of the visitors to Glacier National Park report taking a hike. That's a lot of hikers, but over 700 miles of trail provide many outstanding opportunities for both short hikes and extended backpacking trips.

Hikers need to assume individual responsibility for planning their trips and hiking safely. Before setting out on your hike, stop by a park visitor center to obtain needed warnings and recommendations. You will increase your odds of a safe hike, decrease your disturbance to park wildlife, and lessen cumulative damage to resources.

We are staying in East Glacier, MT and planning to fly from EWR to Kalispell, MT. Feel free to make your own reservations and join us for a great trip.
