My favorite place on Earth. Many travellers to GNP skip the trip Many Glacier as you to have to leave the park and travel North to reach it. Big mistake. I think Many Glacier has the best hiking and views in the park, and you have a great chance of seeing a 🐻 here.

Really easy nature trail, not totally flat but definitely not strenuous. Bring bug and bear spray anytime you are hiking in the Swan Valley.
