What people say

Krista Geiger
"Avalanche Lake Trail is about 5 miles and 730 feet elevation gain, making it a more challenging hike than the other suggestions, but still doable with older school aged children, maybe 8 years and up depending on their level of adventurous spirit. Or if you are a superdad and like to hike with a 3 year old on your shoulders, this is your hike! The kids will like the creek, lake and waterfalls on this hike. "
"4.5 miles round trip and is one of the best hikes in Glacier National Park. Get to the trail early as parking fills up fast "
"We started early to get a parking spot! Definitely wait until the sun comes over the mountains and onto the lake. "

Glacier National Park is truly one of the most incredible places I have visited in the US and quickly jumped to the very top of my favorite National Parks list! With 700 miles of trails, 24 different glaciers, incredibly diverse landscapes, and a wide array of wildlife, this is a must-visit destination for outdoor enthusiasts! Here’s exactly what you can expect from my Glacier National Park guide 👇 This guide is the result of hours upon hours of planning, research, and my in-person lessons-learned at Glacier National Park and is specifically catered to the West Glacier, St. Mary’s, and Many Glacier Entrances/areas of the park during the warmer months. It includes fun features such as an interactive map, directions that connect directly to your phone’s Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to some of my favorite hidden gems & hiking trails. It lays out instructions to help you plan your perfect trip to this area including: 1. Instructions and insider tips on how to get reservations for the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road & Many Glacier Entrance (including the exact secret trick that helped me get my tickets!) 2. Over a dozen outdoor activities (including 11 insane hikes, the best stops to make along the Going-To-The-Sun Road, and other park highlights) 3. Accommodation suggestions including nearby hotels, glamping experiences, unique AirBnBs, park campgrounds, backcountry chalets, and where I stayed during my own trip 4. Direct hyperlinks to every resource you could need to book your trip 5. Behind the scenes exclusive photos and videos from me Plus it’s mobile friendly when you download the Thatch App for free so you can easily access all of the info right from your phone!

This is a LIVING guide: I will update it as I find more information and discover more places which means you have lifetime access to all updated information as it’s added! 2. I only make guides based on areas I have not only been to but know well! I include both activities that I have done myself as well as those that are on my bucketlist for next time I visit! I will always call out the ones I have not done yet and provide you the exact resources you need to experience them yourself! 3. These guides are completely transparent! You can be sure that all unfiltered opinions I provide are my own 🙃 If I include any sponsored information or affiliate links, I will be sure to call these out directly. I will only include these if they benefit you (such as a discount code or coupon!) This guide truly is everything you need to plan your an incredible trip to Glacier National Park all in one place.
