Highlights – Glacier National Park

Top highlights include Illecillewaet Glacier viewpoints; short ridge hikes with meadows in bloom; interpretive displays about glacial geology; quiet alpine tarns; wildflower viewing near the summit trails. Photographers enjoy early morning light on serrated ridgelines. Families enjoy safe short loops with good views. For adventurous hikers, remote multi-day circuits expose broader glacial cirques and high passes. Wildlife sightings often occur at dawn and dusk along lower park roads. Birding near riparian zones shows diverse songbirds and raptors.
