Whether it's river rafting or a breathtaking ride on a snowmobile, Glacier Country offers outdoor adventures all year round. The shelter of the Rocky Mountains generally brings mild spring temperatures, but summer is the most popular time to visit glacier country for good reason. Summer days stretch up to 16 hours, giving you ample time to sample a dazzling array of outdoor activities. Make the most of stunning wilderness vistas, the clear lakes and streams. Hunt or fish to your heart's desire. Play golf, wander in the wilderness or hike in the national forests.

But it's winter that transforms Glacier Country into a wonderland blanketed with crystalline snow. We're blessed with generally mild temperatures – thanks to our location on the western slope of the Rockies.

Visit the more than 1,000,000 acres of forest, alpine lakes and meadows of Glacier National Park – a hiker's paradise that's home to more than 70 kinds of mammals and 260 species of birds. Both Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Park across the border in Canada are Biosphere Reserves that have been designated as designated World Heritage Sites. It's a legacy that's yours to enjoy.
