Many Glacier, Glacier National Park -- a Hiker's Paradise


Redrock Falls
Cristin and I spent three days at the Many Glacier campground, day hiking the numerous trails that can be assessed right from the campground.  The National Park Service brochure says about Many Glacier, "Many people consider this area the heart of the park. Massive mountains, active glaciers, sparkling lakes, hiking trails, and abundant wildlife make this a favorite of visitors and locals alike".   We really enjoyed our stay.  We had a great campsite, the weather was perfect -- warm, sunny days, cool evenings, and the long days provided lots of opportunity to enjoy it.  The Swiftcurrent Motor Inn is adjacent to the campground and its great restaurant, camp store, ranger programs, gift shop, public showers and laundry are in reality integrated right into campground life. It helped make the Many Glacier experience even better.  One of my guidebooks accurately summarizes, "The Swiftcurrent Motor Inn  is a hip hub of activity".
