This is the 4th update of this popular Lodging video by Travel Guide Steve Salis.
It includes a Tour of each of the Park’s historic Lodges and the popular Motor Inns as well as nearby places and activities. Because you now need separate Vehicle Reservation for each park area where you stay is even more important.
This update includes the latest Vehicle Reservation Ticket rules.
The NEW VEHICLE RESERVATION system means where you stay greatly influences what you can see and do in the park.
To determine the best place to stay you'll need know what you want to do in the park. So, hiking, wildlife and things to do at each is discussed.
Glacier is now very difficult for the spontaneous. Whether they be campers or those hoping to find a hotel. A Vehicle Reservation Ticket is needed during busy hours during the busy season - the video has the dates and hours-- just to get in the park.
The recent popularity of the Glacier makes it difficult to stay in a lodge in the Park as rooms must be booked many months and usually a year in advance.
We tour the three Historic Lodges- Glacier Park Lodge, Lake McDonald Lodge and the Many Glacier Hotel and visit The Prince of Wales Hotel in Glacier's Canadian Sister Park- Waterton Lakes National Park. We also tour the Park's many Motor Inns- They are like motels and they are our guides favorite places to stay. They are located at Rising Sun, Many Glacier, Apgar Village and Lake McDonald. We also see the small "uncluttered" cabins.
