We just spent three days in Glacier National Park; all on the west side of the park, for those of you who know the area. We spent the first night at a somewhat run down, but nicely-funky motel/cabin cluster called the Sears Motel in West Glacier. We spent the next night at Glacier Park Lodge also in West Glacier, and the last night in Many Glacier Hotel, further into the park.
We have been trying to get to Glacier for many years, so are glad we finally made it. It is the most rugged park we've been to and we thought it had the most unique landscape. Above is one view of the mountains. Mike and Grace did a day long trip through the park on one of the red antique buses the park is known for. The whole family did a boat cruise on one of the lakes as well.
In a lot of ways, this park is less "kid-friendly" than the others we've been too. There aren't a huge number of easy hikes, the hotels (in the park) aren't really tailored to families, and it is a little hard to get from some sections of the park to the others. And, despite its reputation for remoteness, the areas we stayed in were very, very crowded (though it is peak season).
Having said all of the, the park is extrmely beautiful. Above is a a picture of the mountains, as well as the hotels we stayed in .
