Local's Guide: Visiting Glacier National Park
I swore I’d never visit Glacier National Park again. After countless laps around the Logan Pass parking lot and a morning filled with road rage before 8 a.m., I had vowed to avoid the crowds that swarm this beloved park every summer. But Glacier has a way of calling you back, even when you’ve sworn it off. With over 3 million visitors a year, it's no secret that navigating the park in peak season can be frustrating. Yet, something about the allure of Glacier in the fall – when the crowds thin and the mountains begin to exhale – makes it irresistible. Here’s why fall is the best-kept secret for visiting Glacier National Park and how to plan your trip before the snow sets in.
