Reserve a lakeside room at the Many Glacier Hotel. The view alone makes this National Parks hotel a destination. It is also the perfect base for Glacier's grandest hiking loop - the Highline Trail to Swiftcurrent Pass Trail.

Located in the northeastern corner of Glacier National Park, this Swiss-style lodge sits on the shores of Swiftcurrent Lake. A magnificent towering lobby and rustic, old-world-style rooms provide a perfect National Parks experience. Red Bus tours, boat cruises, horseback riding, and other activities are available here.

Leave your car – along with all your headaches of finding parking – in the lot and arrange a hiker's shuttle to take you up to Logan Pass and the Highline Trailhead.

Following this loop, you will be hiking back to Many Glacier Hotel, and reserving a room for the night you return makes life so much easier. You will have to check in again, but your car and luggage will be waiting on you at trail's end.

Insider Tip: Many Glacier Hotel is located near some of the best hiking in Glacier. The iconic Grinnell Glacier hike begins here. Stunning Cracker Lake Trail too. And the Iceberg-Ptarmigan Trailhead is about one mile down the road.
