Take A Virtual Tour Of Nature Trails And Stunning Lakes At Glacier National Park In Montana

We're incredibly lucky to have Glacier National Park, a place people travel from all over the country (and internationally) to see, right here in Montana. And for those who just can't wait to explore -- hiking those trails, standing at those beautiful lake shores, and cruising along Going-to-the-Sun Road with sweaty palms -- there's a way to do so without packing a bag or planning a trip. Google Earth has some virtual tours of some of Glacier's most iconic spots, so you can "visit" this stunning national park in Montana virtually while you plan your excursion to this epic place.

Lake McDonald is one of Glacier National Park's most famous landmarks, and it's the first stop on the tour.

Lake McDonald is the park's largest lake, at about 10 miles long. In the summertime, people enjoy kayaking and canoeing here.

The Trail of the Cedars is a nice, pleasant mile-long loop that both begins and ends on Going-to-the-Sun Road.

This realistic virtual tour is so vivid, you can practically smell the lush green plants.

Next, take a look at something you might not see on an ordinary trip to the park: Bird Woman Falls.

This waterfall is not easily accessible, and the hike to get there isn't the most scenic. However, it's one of the tallest waterfalls in the park, and it's incredibly beautiful.

Even the Logan Pass Visitor Center is part of the tour.

This place straddles the Continental Divide, provides a wealth of information, and has its own nature trail.

Have you ever heard of Glacier's Weeping Wall?

It's located along Going-to-the-Sun Road, but many Montanans miss it. This geological formation is actually a natural roadside waterfall.

Of course, nothing compares to the in-person experience and views that Glacier has to offer.

But in the meantime, it's amazing to have such realistic virtual tours, so we get to "visit" this national park in Montana anytime we want!
