Work is under way on a handicap-accessible trail project in the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park.

Many Glacier Valley is one of the most popular areas of the park and had no handicap-accessible trails.
The section of trail that will be improved runs from the Many Glacier picnic area to the Swiftcurrent Creek bridge and is nearly a quarter-mile long.

The trail will have a three-foot-wide hardened surface with a number of wider spots for resting and enjoying the scenery, most of which will have seating available.

The wheelchair-accessible trail will be layed on top of an existing dirt foot trail to give the path a hardened and accessible surface.

	Glacier National Park is located in the northwest corner of Montana, just north of Columbia Falls. The park encompasses more than one million acres and is home to grizzly bear, moose, elk, along with 63 varieties of wild mammals. While most of the roads in Glacier National Park are closed off during the winter, this provides miles and miles of tracks for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Visitors are seldom around in the dead of winter, so the muffled hush of the snow covered woods is especially enticing and serene. A ski or snowshoe trip along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, which is one of the most scenic roads in North America, is a great option, according to park rangers. The road is closed to cars from September or October until snowmelt, usually in June. Several short hiking trails branch off from the road, which would be excellent for snowshoeing or skiing in the winter season. Once you have your gear, head up to Glacier National Park for an exciting adventure. Guided snowshoe trips are available, led by a park naturalist, and are highly recommended. If you are looking for an informative tour, snowshoeing is an easy way to explore the winter wonderland of this unique park. Snowshoeing will provide even the novice an effortless activity so your senses are more in tune with your environment and your guide's knowledge on the history, wildlife, geology, and biology of this precious ecosystem.
