It\u2019s during the early daylight hours when Glacier National Park\u2019s Many Glacier Valley<\/a> is at its finest. The dramatic peaks of the Lewis Mountain Range take on a warm glow, while the waters of Lake Josephine glisten and shine with the rising fog of a fresh morning dew. Occasionally a moose wanders down a nearby trail, and a mama black bear and her cubs frolic in the fast-flowing creek just west of Lake Sherburne. At the Many Glacier Hotel, where I worked a summer waiting tables in its Ptarmigan Dining Room, the views are even more spectacular\u2014with the triangular-shaped Grinnell Point rising above the waters of Swiftcurrent Lake like the perfect postcard image. There\u2019s nothing quite like living in the middle of this \u201cSwitzerland of North America,\u201d especially its Many Glacier Valley\u2014one of this national park\u2019s most impressive and awe-inspiring spots.<\/p>\n

Tucked away on Glacier\u2019s eastern side, about 12 miles into the park itself, the Many Glacier Valley is a stunning display of sparkling lakes, gushing waterfalls, rising mountains and alpine meadows that are often brimming with wildflowers like purple lupine and red-and-yellow gaillardia. The area is home to at least a dozen trailheads, ranging from a 4.2-mile round-trip meander to Red Rock Falls to a 12-mile out-and-back trek to Cracker Lake, a turquoise alpine wonder that often attracts moose and marmots, as well as grizzlies that chow down at berry patches along the trail. \u201cMany\u201d (the valley\u2019s shortened nickname) is also the site of one of the park\u2019s most celebrated\u2014though quickly disappearing\u2014glaciers, along with several lodging options, including the Many Glacier Hotel, the crowning jewel of the park\u2019s railway-built hotels.<\/p>\n

While the valley is typically open for visitors from early June to mid-September, it\u2019s worth bedding down here for at least a few nights to take in all that the area has in store. Thankfully, Nat Hab\u2019s Glacier & Waterton: An International Treasure<\/a> adventure brings travelers into the heart of Many Glacier and includes a stay at its storied hotel.<\/p>\n
