A few years ago three friends of mine (shout out to Jeannie, Kate & Liv) posted some of the most unbelievable photos I had ever seen of a national park in the United States. Spectacular mountain passes, glacial blue lakes, abundant wildlife— I knew I needed to see this place. It turned out to be Montana’s Glacier National Park. So, deep in the depths of quarantine living at my parents’ house, I finally found the time to think through planning a backcountry adventure in Glacier. I can happily say the park, and the state of Montana in general, did not disappoint.
With that, I hope the following can serve as helpful and illustrative guide & narrative of one of my favorite backpacking trips ever to one of the most beautiful regions of the US.
