If you’re someone who craves a nature escape without the touristy clutter, Glacier National Park is the perfect destination for you.
With its dense forests, pristine lakes, and towering mountains, this park offers a unique and unparalleled experience.
To avoid the overwhelming traffic and tourism, my friend and I decided to visit in late winter, during the shoulder season.
It turned out to be an entirely different way of exploring.In early March, Glacier National Park takes on an almost overgrown feel, as if it has had time to recover from the busy summer season.
The desolate landscape adds to the raw beauty and serenity of the park.
While camping in these conditions can be demanding, the rewards are worth it.
Imagine having an entire lake to yourself or hiking on empty trails.
It’s a truly redeeming experience.One drawback of visiting during the shoulder season is that the upper park is closed.
However, the road is open for biking, allowing you to fully access the park and enjoy its winter charms.
Embracing this different kind of experience is what makes it so enjoyable.
It requires a change in mindset, but the tranquility and untouched beauty of Glacier National Park make it all worthwhile..
