Glacier National Park near Columbia Falls, Montana, is an almost perfect slice of heaven right here on Earth. There are more than 700 miles of trails, melting glaciers, rolling meadows, pristine lakes, and valleys of adventure. Amid this paradise stands the Many Glacier Hotel, built in 1915, which offers stunning views of Swiftcurrent Lake and Grinnell Point.

During my visit to Glacier National Park, I was fortunate enough to snag a night at the Many Glacier Hotel — Glacier National Park’s most iconic lodge, built in 1915 with dreamy Swiss chalet vibes. Nestled on Swiftcurrent Lake with jaw-dropping views of Grinnell Point, it’s steps from the park’s best and most famous hikes (Iceberg, Cracker, Grinnell) and full of historic charm. No TV, no distractions…just cozy mountain air, wildlife sightings, and adventure right outside your door. This isn’t just a stay…it’s a time machine into Glacier’s golden era. 🌲🛶 ➡️ From July – September 2025, you cannot access any of the Many Glacier area on a whim by personal vehicle due to construction. Timed entry does not apply to this portion of the park during these dates. Reservations must be made in advance to gain admittance to the road that takes you to the Many Glacier area. ➡️ The only available reservations to gain access to this area are: a hotel booking (limited availability), boat tour reservation (sold out for weeks in advance), or a hiker shuttle ticket (must be obtained the night prior at 7 pm MST, and are currently selling out within seconds.) ➡️ You will have to show proof of one of these three reservations at the Many Glacier entrance ranger station to gain access with your personal vehicle at ANY time of the day. There is a locked gate after hours that is only accessible by a unique code that hotel guests are sent a few hours prior to check in that is valid for the duration of their stay. ➡️ The road to access Many Glacier is an all dirt road up to the last mile or two, filled with heavy dust and potholes and with absolutely zero cell service.

Maybe not that close. Stand on the deck and take in the mountain view.
