8 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.

Your day by day itinerary now includes The Polebridge Mercantile as well as Bowman Lake.
