Crown of the Continent
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.Take a break from the city and head to Running Eagle Falls and Virginia Falls. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Garden Wall and St.Mary Falls. Get out of town with these interesting Glacier National Park side-trips: Willow's HuckleberryLand (in Hungry Horse) and The Polebridge Mercantile (in Polebridge). Spend the 3rd (Sat) exploring nature at Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. Spend the 9th (Fri) exploring nature at Red Rock Falls, Glacier National Park. There's still lots to do: trek along Highline Trail, explore the activities along McDonald Creek, and stroll through Swiftcurrent Lake.

In August, plan for daily highs up to 83°F, and evening lows to 48°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 10th (Sat) to allow time to travel back home.
