走Hidden Garden Trail,是为了到Hidden Lake overlook,往返4.8km,难度系数:3.78,往返约2.5小时,这个点可以看到全景,如果6月中旬之前去,会有大片积雪且带有坡道,会比较滑,最好穿防水裤,穿带钉爪的鞋,带好登山棒。这条步道上有很多山羊,一路上有一些小瀑布,当然最美的观景点还是在Hidden Lake overlook,这里的湖水呈湛蓝色,让人想起挪威的盖朗厄尔峡湾。
,附近较大的城镇是卡利斯佩尔(Kalispell),但距离西入口也有40分钟的车程。麦当劳湖(Lake McDonald)是这块区域的主角,所以大家也会称这块为麦当劳湖区。公园内的酒店有:Village Inn Motel,Apgar Village Lodge,Lake McDonald Lodge,Motel Lake McDonald。这一片觅食的地方还是比较丰富的。徒步路线比较众所周知的是雪崩湖步道(Trial of Cedars/Avalanche Lake Trial,
从西门West Glacier进,沿着向阳大道(Going-to-the-sun Road)一路前行大约2小时,就可以到达Wild Goose Island (野鹅岛)。途中会有一些停车点可以欣赏Sunrift Gorge, Sun Point 等景点,野鹅岛夕阳下的风景与晨光下的景致很不一样,为了看野鹅岛的日出,我们特地住在Rising Sun Motor Inn,从住地到野鹅岛开车5分钟。
Iceberg Lake,冰山湖步道Iceberg Lake trail往返16公里,来回也要六个小时。可以在Swiftcurrent Motor Inn的门口集合,参加一个Ranger led hike,免费加入,无需预约,只要按时到指定地点就行。这条徒步路线,因为有熊经常出没,是那种伤人的大棕熊,跟着Ranger走,就不用担心了,我们在回程的路上还真的遇上了大棕熊,既兴奋又紧张,简直酷毙了。建议带登山杖、高帮棉袜、干粮、防熊喷雾,水越多越好。
从西门West Glacier进,沿着向阳大道(Going-to-the-sun Road)一路前行大约2小时,途中会有一些停车点可以欣赏Sunrift Gorge、 Sun Point、Wild Goose Island (野鹅岛)等景点,要特别注意向阳大道的开放日期,一般在5月下旬,如果向阳大道关闭,从外围绕的话要多开3个小时,关键是错过了向阳大道一路的美景。
We really enjoyed it and it was $12 for the entire family. It's rather small so it didn't take us long to walk through it but we went while the Lego exhibit was there an that was amazing! We will definitely keep an out for new exhibits and go often! Also, don't forget to ask to see the vault across the street. That is very interesting as well!
