Kwyn is SO excited for you to see her hometown. Kalispell is a popular summer tourist destination with Glacier National Park located nearby.
Glacier National Park is a must-see but requires both Vehicle Registration AND an Entry Pass. In other words, don't just drive up on the day you want to go and expect to get in!
Planning Ahead is Easy -
A portion of vehicle reservations will be available 120 days or approximately four months in advance at 8 am MST on a daily rolling basis.
Next Day vehicle reservations will be available at 7 pm MDT for next-day entry starting on May 23, 2024 on a daily rolling basis.
In addition to a vehicle reservation, visitors must also have a park pass or pay an entrance fee to enter the park.
A park pass or entrance fee is required to access any entry point within Glacier National Park. Park passes and entrance passes are not the same as vehicle reservations.
Park passes and entrance passes are available for purchase at park entrances or online at Recreation.gov. Visitors who already possess a valid entrance pass, such as an Annual, Senior, Access, Military, etc., do not need to purchase another pass.
To plan your trip to Glacier Park, visit https://www.nps.gov/glac/index.htm.
If you don't end up securing a vehicle pass to Glacier, but still want to do some hiking and exploring there a TONS of other options. Consider looking into the Jewel Basin, Lone Pine State Park and Herron Park.
If you're not outdoorsy, there are a lot of other fun, touristy activities like zip lining, gondola rides, walk-in-the-trees, The Maze and more. The options are endless so we definitely encourage doing some research and finding things you like!
For those who plan to come early, Kwyn's parents are hosting pre-wedding whitewater rafting trip on Thursday, July 18.
A sign up sheet will be available soon.
