The owner was very nice and accommodating and our room was clean, spacious, and had a big screen TV with satellite and a Jacuzzi and the king sized bed was AMAZINGLY soft. In addition, the breakfast spread was, though of a similar style, far higher quality than any of the motel/hotels we've stayed in before on our trip. They even had soy milk so I was able to eat cereal for once. I'm glad we could turn a bad situation into a great hotel stay. Since I don't see a real location on the address here, it is 121 East Central Avenue Browning, MT 59417

In addition to the small rooms you get access to the shared shower, toilet, and sink rooms. There are two of each, also small, located in the center of the hall. The hot water was limited and when present was difficult to adjust. Expect showers to be cold or scalding. And whatever you do, don't get stuck with room #6. That's the one that shares a wall with both toilet rooms had there's no telling what sensory experiences you might enjoy at any hour of the day or night. The furnishings in the rooms and common areas were... shoddy. The beds were uncomfortable with well-used spring mattresses. Any noise from the kitchen and bar areas below carried and things didn't get quiet enough to sleep until everything was closed down. And I suggest you avoid sitting on the sofas in the lobby. It only took me a few minutes to discover there were already lots of little things already living there. Food service is erratic. We didn't try any of it and from what I saw it didn't look awful. The good news is you're just down the road, around the corner, and down the road from the Cattle Baron Supper Club. We had dinner there one night and it was the best steak dinner I've had in a long time. We were chatting with a bellman at the Many Glacier Hotel (which is another spot to get a great meal). He mentioned there were lots of places outside the park besides his hotel that provided better value. When we told him where we were staying he replied without skipping a beat, "that's not one of them." The park is beautiful and we will be back. However, we'll make a point of seeking out some other place to stay.

REDROCK FALLS can be reached by a trail that starts at the parking lot by Swiftcurrent Inn. The…read moretrail is 2 miles, each way. On the way, you can see strange trees where the trunk has a U-shape, and where the U-shape occurs at about five feet above the ground. I posted two photographs of these strange trees, where each has the U-shape in the tree trunk. During the hike, and also at Redrock Falls, you can see Mount Grinnell, which is south of the trail, and Mount Wilbur, which is north of the trail. Redrock Falls is actually a series of small cascades, and it is not comparable to the iconic Yosemite Falls in California, or to the drop-dead gorgeous North Falls at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. During my family's hike, I was treated to a "dance-of-the-clouds" where the wind-blown movements of the clouds resulted in intermittent illumination of various regions of Mount Grinnell and of Mount Wilbur. Your hike to Redrock Falls will provide motivation to learn about the Grinnell Formation. Grinnell formation is colored red, and it consists of something called, "shaly argillites. The shaly argillites lies on top of something called the "Appekunny." Mingled with the red argillites are thin white layers of quartzite, a former sandstone which has been converted by pressure into an extraordinarily hard, dense rock. The red color is due to iron oxide occurring as a cement between the sand and mud grains (info from, The Geologic Story of Glacier National Park, Special Bulletin No. 3, Glacier Natural History Association). PHOTOGRAPHS. Please click on each of my photographs so that you can see the entire image. VISITOR CENTERS. Glacier National Park has several visitor centers. This is a warning. If you fail to buy at least fifty dollars worth of souvenirs during your visit to Glacier National Park, you will regret it for many years. Your regret will build up more and more, with every passing decade. What I recommend most, is buying the model of the red bus that is used for transporting tourists up and down Going-To-The-Sun Road. What I also recommend is buying a plush moose. The word "plush" is used to refer to toy animals such as birds and dogs that are made of soft fluffy cloth.

There is a motel across the street with a general store which carries pretty much everything you could ever need and sells tokens for laundry and showers if you need those. There are several hikes that start in the parking lot of the motel which is an easy 5 minute walk from the campground and the rangers are in the parking lot at various times of the day with telescopes for animal watching. Originally we were going to camp on the west side of the park as well but we liked it here so much we stayed the whole time. There is a ranger station right next to the campground ground as well that is just a couple minutes walk. Useful information such as weather and trails status are posted both at the station and at the campground host site. We can't wait to come back.

The Hidden Lake Overlook Trail was my favorite activity that we did on our 2 week trip to Montana…read more The scenery is BEAUTIFUL the WHOLE WAY and not too challenging (a bunch of boardwalk steps at the beginning, but then it levels out with a gradual incline). My 4 year old handled it just fine. In late July there was a bunch of snow on the trail so parts were a little slippery/slower to maneuver through. There were a lot of wildlife to enjoy as well. Ground squirrels, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats (which is the first and only time I've seen mountain goats and are now a new favorite animal). While busy, it was not overwhelmingly so on the trail itself. NOTE: The trailhead is at the Logan Pass parking lot. Shuttle tickets are incredibly difficult to get. I logged on before they were available and within a minute all the tickets were gone with me luckless. I did this 2 months in advance and then the night before. We decided to chance it with the lot. Took us about 40 minutes to get a spot. You are only allowed 3 hours in that lot. It took us about 2 1/2 hours to do this trail comfortably. The rest of the time we used for the restroom and the small visitor center and gift shop. Besides the stress of the parking and tickets (that failed) this was definitely worth the time and effort. Loved it!
