West Glacier

The Middle Fork of the Flathead River defines the setting of West Glacier — its valley follows the southern boundary of Glacier National Park and channels access toward the park’s west entrance. This small Montana community stands beside the western approach to Going-to-the-Sun Road, the 50-mile route that crosses Logan Pass before reaching St. Mary on the park’s east side. West Glacier’s railroad-era identity is preserved at the Belton Chalet, built in 1910 by the Great Northern Railway for park travelers. Beyond town, the river corridor meets conifer forest and the rising terrain of the northern Rockies, with park services, campgrounds and trail access close by.
