Early mornings on horseback, scenic hikes, and moose spotting in this fun- and action-oriented three-day trip planner
moreBreakfast at Lake McDonald Lodge
Like the lake it sits on, Lake McDonald Lodge is lovely in a cozy, approachable way. Breakfast is served in the Russell’s
Fireside Dining Room, decorated with hunting trophies and rough-hewn western red cedar wood beams that recall this building’s
hunting lodge origins. (406/892-2525 or glacierparkinc.com).
Drive Going-to-the-Sun Road
Wind along the breath-snatching Going-to-the-Sun Road, a geological triptych past hanging valleys, waterfalls, cirques, and
cloud-piercing mountains including Heavy Runner, Clements, and Bishop’s Cap.
Two Medicine Lake cruise and hike
Board a boat to cruise 45 minutes along Two Medicine Lake, shadowed by 9,513-foot Rising Wolf Mountain. (406/892-2525 or glacierparkinc.com)
Dinner at Johnson’s cafe
Have lunch at Johnson’s café, open since 1951, just outside the park in Saint Mary. Open summers, the cafe is known for family-style
meals of homemade soup, and fried chicken. 888/778-6279 or stmarylodgeandresort.com.
