Glacier Park Covey Loop Trail

Glacier Park Covey Meadow Loop

Covey Meadow Looking North

News bulletin - You are now in Bear Country !

Covey Loop Trail is an easy hike, starting out in the forest of lodgepole pines. This is new growth, after the Red Bench Fire of 1988. Hiking in about .05 miles you come to the meadow. In the spring you will find the meadow full of wildflowers galore. The hills surrounding the meadow would lend themselves to being a perfect hideout when seeking the illusive wildlife of the area. Elk, deer, bear, fox, and coyotes are not uncommon in this area.
Following the trail off to the right, you will travel along the meadows edge. The Livingston range is in full view at this time. What a scene to behold with the meadow in the foreground and the mountains beyond.

Pretty soon you head away from the meadow and back into the forest as you wind your way back to the Inside North Fork road. You will need to travel north on the road for about .05 miles back to your car at the Polebridge park entrance.

	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.
