Many Glacier

The Many Glacier region of Glacier National Park is one of the most amazing in the park. Many Glacier offers challenging hikes and climbs for mountaineers of all ages. Trails include Cracker Lake Trail, which climbs 6.1 miles near the Grinnell Glacier, Iceeberg Lake which is ringed by a 4.7-mile trail, which takes you up approximately 1,200 feet and Red Rock Falls --- a slightly easier hike--you only gain approximately 100 feet in elevation and get great glimpses of Swiftcurrent Lake.

Nearby Many Glacier Hotel has 208 rooms, making it the largest hotel in the park. Located in the northeast corner of Glacier National Park on Highway 89 it sits on the shores of picturesque Swiftcurrent Lake. This hotel offers fabulous panoramic views.

Jammer buses are so called because when they first started running in the 1930's the buses had standard transmissions and the drivers could be heard "jammin" the gears as they drove up and down the rugged mountainous highway. These antique red buses are now both a symbol of Glacier National Park and a reminder of a time when adventurous travel was done with style and grace.
