Itinerary
Day 1 Follow the Trail of the Cedars through a dense forest to turquoise Avalanche Lake | Go for a swim, if you dare!
Day 2 Behold stunning Going-to-the-Sun Road, the most beautiful 50 miles in the world | Marvelous geologic features, including Haystack Butte, embellish the landscape as you hike on the Highline Trail | Take in gorgeous panoramic views from Logan Pass and the Continental Divide.
Days 3-4 In Canada's Waterton Lakes National Park, follow the Carthew-Alderson Trail, considered one of the best hikes in Alberta | The trail leads through numerous botanical life zones and past the Forum Peak to the west and Mount Custer to the south | Options abound today, including a boat excursion to the northern gateway of Glacier National Park, walking to Kootenay Lake, shopping in Waterton Townsite or afternoon tea at our hotel.
Days 5-6 Spot bighorn sheep, mule deer and maybe even a grizzly bear | In the striking Many Glacier Valley, hike to a lake cold enough to harbor icebergs well into the warmer months | Take a scenic cruise across Two Medicine Lake aboard a boat that's been a fixture here since the late 1920s | Trace a narrow trail to Twin Falls, a cascade divided by an island | Continuing through dense forests and meadows, emerge onto an open hillside bursting with wildflowers.
