While this hike doesn't take you through the mountains, you'll still enjoy views of the peaks through the woods. During the summer, keep your eye out for colorful wildflowers blooming throughout this entire region. Since this is a popular hike in Glacier, brace yourself for limited parking or, better yet, hop on the shuttle that will take you to the trailhead.
