The Best Time to Visit Glacier National Park

"Situated at 6,646 feet on the Continental Divide, this high mountain pass is a hub for hiking, wildflower viewing, and alpine scenery; it frequently remains snowbound later than lower-elevation areas, so access is most reliable in mid-summer through early fall. The pass is a cooler, wetter microclimate compared with lower elevations and serves as a primary starting point for viewing late-June to mid-August wildflower displays and for accessing trails that traverse high alpine terrain." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
