Send your senses soaring and your spirits flying! Uncover an untamed wilderness full of snow-clad peaks, roaring waterfalls, and glacier-carved valleys in the International Peace Park. Boasting over 800 miles of footpaths, Glacier is one of the world's premier hiking destinations. Designed for the experienced hiker, this tour offers challenging options for the more intrepid adventurer.
Glacier-Waterton Inn highlights: The park's distinctive lodges are one of the highlights of these trips. Architects took the mountains' majesty to heart when they designed historic Lake McDonald Lodge and Many Glacier Hotel. In the heart of Waterton Lakes, the Prince of Wales Hotel provides the highest quality in comfort, convenience, and ambiance.
