Off The Beaten Path In Glacier National Park, You’ll Find A Breathtaking Montana Overlook That Lets You See For Miles
Glacier National Park is the crown jewel of the continent, and we’re so lucky to have it here in Montana. Aside from being a breathtaking, enormous nature lover’s paradise, it’s full of off-the-beaten-path trails, rugged campsites, and hidden gems. There’s even a magnificent overlook known as Goat Lick Overlook…and let’s just say it has earned its name.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

It has its own designated parking area. But despite being fairly easy to find, many Glacier guests don't even know it's there.


The natural mineral lick helps the animals replace necessary nutrients in their bodies. Plus, the high goat concentration is good for their social interactions (aww).

We can't really say we blame them.

The views seem to stretch out for miles and miles.

It's the river's current that has cut deeply into the soil in the area, exposing the mineral-filled clay.

It's beautiful, impressive, and sometimes has an adorable bonus.
