Apgar Visitor Center

Glacier is a beautiful park with incredible views. The visitor center is a good stop before you head into the park. They have a good shop inside with good prices. The park rangers were helpful with questions. There is also a large trail map inside so you can preplan your trip into the park. Keep Your eyes open for grizzly bears. They are not easy to spot in the mountains but super cool when you do see one.

Apgar visitors center is located on the southern end of McDonald Lake. Its a great starting point for your trip into the park area. There are canoe rentals along with paddle board. Campground are located in and around the area but permits are needed along with you park pass. This also has a shopping area with lots of shops and coffee. Views are awesome and the lake is crystal clear. Make no mistake, this a great place to start your adventure.

The Apgar Visitor Center at Glacier National Park was great. Very organized, you could tell where you were supposed to catch your Red Bus tour, a lot of rangers available for questions, great store with lots of hats, shirts, and souvenirs. Unfortunately, their parking lot is pretty small for the amount of people that show up. But if you wait on the hour for a tour to end, then parking is more readily available. Just get there early and be patient with parking.

Park rangers are knowledgeable and ready to answer all your questions. There is a Junior Randers program and you can get the book from the rangers. It's a fun way to encourage kids to learn about the park. Gift shop inside. Shuttle bus stop outside.

Very nice facility with helpful park service employees and rangers on hand. Make sure to visit the gift shop to help support the park. This is one of the pickup points for Red Bus tours and you will see them lining up on the side of the building. We were at the Center in September and parking was available. Would imagine parking will be very limited in high season. As a side note you do not need a timed permit to visit the center. One is needed to go further into the park at certain times.

I visited the Apgar Center the day before Glacier National Park "opened" for the summer. It wasn't overly busy, which is good because it's not a very big place. I imagine during the busy summer months it can get very crowded. The rangers were stationed outside in front of the gift shop. The gift shop is large with a wide variety of souvenirs to choose from. Behind the center is a short trail that goes to the shore of Lake McDonald, which is stunningly beautiful.

The visitor center is at Logan Pass, one of the most popular stops on the Going To The Sun Road in Glacier National Park and at the continental divide. The visitor center is okay. Has interesting information about the area which what I want from it. But as for the gift shop, the selection is limited. Yet the most important reason to visit the center is the GORGEOUS scenery at Logan pass. I recommend taking the short hike to the hidden lake if you are physically able to, Wow. And anyone you talk to about Glacier Park I am sure will agree, I can't miss National Park.

First, it was the second time visiting this beautiful national park. Such an amazing place with a beautiful road, under some interesting maintenance. While it is worth noticing the increase in visitors from all over the globe and locals, it provides the peace and warm for your soul. As for this place call Apgar Visitor Center, wifi is great, but seats not very confy. It is against federal law to plug your personal devices in any, any, but any electricity charging station. Was told, " it is not allow to use federal electrical outlets" such offense, as experienced, comes with a so call owner of such federal building, telling those progresive and last words. While it is great to see public and free transportation, it is not great to experienced rude and merciless park rangers. Such experience wont be forgotten, as it reminds me of those colourful pictures attached.
