| Glacier
Country is a haven for hiking. In fact, Glacier
National Park, the Bob
Marshall Wilderness and Jewel
Basin Hiking Area are some of the premier hiking destinations in
America. You can also find numerous trails in Glacier Country's many
forest areas; call the Northern Region Forest Service for more
information at 406-329-3511
Glacier National Park
If you are a day hiker, you don't need a permit. But if you are a backpacker planning to stay overnight, you must get a permit. Go to a Glacier National Park Visitor Center for a back country permit, and to make sure a camping site is available at your destination. It's a very good idea to make
a reservation for overnight camping in Glacier, as the spots go quickly. Call 406-888-7800 to find out more, and be aware that there is a fee for the permit.
