6 days in Glacier National Park Itinerary

The glaciers from which Glacier National Park takes its name mostly dissipated eons ago, but they left behind a scoured landscape of high and steep mountain peaks, sparkling lakes, lush alpine meadows, and thick forests.

When in Glacier National Park, make a side trip to see The Polebridge Mercantile in Polebridge, approximately 50 minutes away. Spend the 21st (Fri) exploring nature at Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. Next up on the itinerary: cruise along Going-to-the-Sun Road, contemplate the waterfront views at Swiftcurrent Lake, trek along Iceberg Lake Trail, and take in the dramatic scenery at Virginia Falls.

Expect a daytime high around 29°F in December, and nighttime lows around 16°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 25th (Tue) so you can travel back home.
