About West Glacier KOA Resort

Pine-scented campsites here are a mere 2.5 miles from Glacier National Park's west entrance. A short drive of a few minutes brings you to the start of the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road that twists and climbs across the million-acre alpine preserve. Whitefish, Kalispell and Flathead Lake are within driving distance to explore for part of a day with plenty of time left to relax at this KOA. Different activities are available each evening, such as fly-fishing clinics, birds of prey presentations and a magician's show. This KOA also offers an adult (18+) heated pool and adult hot tubs as well as a family (all ages) pool. Enjoy breakfast and dinner at the Lazy Bear cafe. Treat yourself to huckleberry ice cream at Scoops Ice Cream Shoppe or head to the state's largest water park in nearby Columbia Falls. Pool: June 1 - September 15. Max pull thru: 75 feet. Your hosts: Greg & Theresa McClure.

Hike to Apgar Lookout

Columbia Falls, Montana

4.5

7 mi / 1850 ft gain

Precursor: I completed this hike in November, hence the snow in the photos. Due to a lack of tree coverage, this hike is best suited for a cool summer day, or in the late spring and early autumn. It is doable in the heat of the summer, but be sure to pack plenty of water. This hike begins by trekking through a recovering forest, which was originally destroyed in the 2003 Roberts Fire. The firs...

Capture Sunrise or Sunset at Lake McDonald

West Glacier, Montana

5.0

Lake McDonald doesn't offer the close-up views of glaciers and mountains like some of the other spots in Glacier NP, but it does offer sweeping views of park's west side. The most popular spot to photograph this grand perspective is along the southwest beach and dock. The dock makes the most interesting subject, but after parking walk along the shore and look for interesting rocks or boats to...

Kayak Lake McDonald

West Glacier, Montana

5.0

Rent kayaks at the shore of Lake McDonald and take them out for the day. Make sure to start early to get a full day in and leave yourself enough time to stop for lunch. There are multiple places to pull off and bring your kayaks onto the shore and do some small hikes. The views are spectacular from every angle.

Swim at the Belton Bridge

West Glacier, Montana

2.0

The Belton Bridge is the old entrance to glacier. You can get there by turning right down old river bridge road, which is the first right when you turn in to the West Glacier village. There are some 5-8 ft rocks to jump off, but be sure to check the water below them first. The water is gorgeous, but it is cold! Even during the warm summer months it will take the breath right out of you. Have fu...

Paddle McDonald Creek, Glacier National Park

West Glacier, Montana

5.0

Begin your trip by dropping your car (or bike) at Quarter Circle Bridge just inside Glacier Park. After dropping your shuttle vehicle, park in the Apgar Campground parking lot and walk your water craft to the shore of Lake McDonald. Paddling North, you will quickly find the outlet of scenic Lake McDonald. Don't exit the lake without snapping a few photos.After leaving the lake, the creek is ...
