It's amazing to consider. Intense pressure from glaciers carved out the beauty in this region - but "pressure" is the last thing you'll feel. Catch sight of a bighorn sheep perched on the edge of a bluff. Get in a morning walk through a forest full of red cedar and fir. Journey on Going-to-the-Sun Road and soak up some of the finest views in northwest Montana. That road is 50 miles of superlative scenery. There are 62 species of mammals here, from diminutive pygmy shrews to majestic mountain goats, grizzly bears and elk, more than 260 species of birds, 780 miles of trails and 10,000 years of natural history. You've got six days and one incredible story to tell.  

    Two national parks, two countries, one phenomenal trip
    Fantastic hiking in a spellbinding tableau of glacier-carved valleys, broad lakes and majestic peaks
    The stunning Going-to-the-Sun Road
    Spot bighorn sheep, mule deer and maybe even a grizzly
    Panoramic views from the Many Glacier Hotel
