Hiking In Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park in Montana is impressive, covering almost 1.5 million acres and including more than 200 lakes and streams, 50 glaciers and over 700 miles of hiking trails. But, while these numbers are impressive in themselves, they do not even come close to conveying the sheer breathtaking beauty of this lovely national park. Pop on those new waterproof hiking boots and head out into the park in the late afternoon and you will simply be transfixed as you gaze upon the mountains surrounding Lake MacDonald and watch them turn a hundred shades of pink in the setting sun. Of course the park contains many wonderful hikes and there is plenty to see at all times of the day, but this one sight will stay with you for ever. It is Mother Nature at her most beautiful.
