TIPS TO GET TO GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

The Glacier National Park is one of the most breath-taking sites in the United States of America. Located in the northern park of Montana, this National Park is mostly accessible for visit in the late spring to early fall due to challenging road access during wintertime.

Some of the basecamp towns are Kalispell, Whitefish and Columbia Falls. There is a RV length limit when entering the Glacier National Park, as the roads are windy and narrow in many spots, so it is advisable to park your bigger RV outside the National Park and visit the Park for a day (or plan to tent-camp at the many tent campsites inside the Park).

One can get to Glacier National Park via I-90 from Spokane, WA to US-95 and US-2 toward Kalispell, or via I-90 via Missoula to US-93 to Kalispell.
