Planning your vacation? We have just the spot for you !
There just isn’t any place like Glacier National Park. And there is
a Lodge to call home, while you’re here. Let me tell you about it.
" Glacier Park
Lodge and Resort,"
is located in East
Glacier, on the Eastern Gateway. It lies along the mainline of the
Burlington Northern railroad.
This impressive lodge is steeped in rich Western theme which will
amaze you. As you enter the huge lobby. The supports are of very
large Douglas Fir pillars, forty feet high, and forty inches around.
It was named "Omahkoyis" by the Blackfeet Indians, which meant "Big
Tree Lodge."
You are bound to feel as if you have stepped back in time, while
also enjoying the comforts of home. The main attraction of the lobby
is a huge stone fireplace with enough comfortable seating to
accommodate a large group, either relaxing and visiting with new
friends, write letters ,or play games. All while enjoying the
fantastic scenery. There is no television here to distract you from
the atmosphere of this "old West " feeling, and the great outdoors.
There is no air conditioning available in the rooms, so the
balconies and lakeside tend to be the gathering point on a hot
summers day. There is also no elevator service to the upper
rooms, so come prepared to use the large open staircase.
There are no refrigerators in the rooms, but restaurants are
prepared to serve any kind of food your desire.
You may ask at the desk for an iron, ironing board, and hair dryers.
Pets are not
allowed in the Lodge. And the Lodge is completely Smoke Free.
" The Great Northern Steak and Rib House", serves a complete menu of
Beef, Ribs, Chicken or fish. There is a full Breakfast Buffet from
6:30 A.M. until 10:00 Lunch is served from 11:30 A.M. until 2:00
P.M. And Dinner is served from 5:00 to 9:30 P.M. You may enjoy Beer
or wine with your lunch and dinner. You are invited to come dressed
casually. with no reservations, as it is first come first served.
You will find a Television in the Lounge with a well stocked bar.
The Lounge opens at 11:30 A.M. and closes at midnight. You may enjoy
lunch and dinner menu items here.
There is also a Country Mercantile at the lodge, where you may shop
for snacks and drinks. They carry health and beauty products along
with reading materials. You will find the items that you neglected
to bring. Enjoy the Gift Shop too. they have lots of items to
look at.
Maybe you would like to take some Native American Jewelry home.
You can find Indian Blankets, and blankets from the Glacier National
Park series, and a lot of Souvenirs, all while wandering through the
"Native American Trading Post".
If you enjoy Golf, you may rent a cart and clubs at the Golf Shop,
and go a round on Montana’s oldest grass greens golf course. { 9
holes long, par 36 } This course was built by the Great Northern
Railroad in 1927.

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.
