But it ended up being one of our favorite things to do in Glacier National Park. There are multiple pull offs by Lake McDonald, don\u2019t look for a sign saying beach this way because there isn\u2019t one, instead just pull off on the side of the road and take the short walk down the hill to the beach.<\/p>\n<p>The beach isn\u2019t pure white sand, but it is good enough that you can sit there comfortably. The water is REALLY cold but depending on how warm it is you can totally jump in to go for a swim or float on an inner tube. <\/p>\n<p>Lake McDonald is the largest lake in Glacier National Park. And is definitely a top Glacier National Park must see.

On the way there you have gorgeous views of the glacial blue lakes \u2013 just be on the look out for grizzly bears!<\/p>\n<p>Once we got there we saw the glacier and iceberg floating in the lake! It was so cool to walk around the corner and see the lake filled with icebergs.

Clocking in at just over 4.5 miles roundtrip, it will test everyone.\u00a0I highly recommend checking the weather \u2013 we didn\u2019t and got stuck in a thunderstorm when we were at the lake!<\/p>\n<p>Assuming the weather is good, the trail is very populated. You should always have your bear spray and be on the lookout, but popular trails normally mean you won\u2019t see any while you are hiking.<\/p>\n<p>This hike takes you about 2 miles through the forest\u00a0on a very well marked trail. Then at the top it opens up into a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains and waterfalls.<\/p>\n<p>The water is very shallow so it isn\u2019t like you will be swimming in it but you can definitely walk out a little ways and get your feet wet.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend bringing snacks and a few drinks to celebrate making it to the lake. There is a pit toilet near the lake as well.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you aren\u2019t a hiker I highly recommend giving this hike a go.

Then head into the visitor center to check out the small displays they have, to ask a ranger any questions you have and if you time it right you could listen to a ranger talk as well.<\/p>\n<p>After that head out on the Hidden Lake nature trail. Again even if you aren\u2019t a hiker, do it. Another populated trail with a very clear trail laid out.<\/p>\n<p>Part of it is steps. It is a steady incline all the way up then once you get to the hidden lake overlook the view is amazing.<\/p>\n<p>This one is a leg burner! It\u2019s not much of an elevation gain, but for some reason we struggled going up this one.<\/p>\n<p>At this point you could head down to the shores of the hidden lake \u2013 but note this will add\u00a03 miles to your trip. Or you could hang out at the lookout for a while and then head back down.<\/p>\n<p>Both times we did the trail we saw mountain goats. Both times they walked right across the path in front of us. It was a really cool experience! They are used to people so they don\u2019t seem to mind them and we were sure to give them their space.<\/p>\n<p>You can also check out the scary but cool Highline Trail across the street from the Logan Pass visitors center. Look for the continental divide sign as well! <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a

There are so many Glacier National Park things to do and it is an amazing park and you could spend months exploring it, but if you don\u2019t think you will be back up this way again then take the trip up to Canada. It took us about 2 1\/2 hours to get there so it is a whole day event.<\/p>\n<p>We crossed the border \u2013 I believe you need passports or the passport card so double check that,\u00a0stopped for a picture by the Alberta sign and then headed straight to the National Park.<\/p>\n<p>We did a couple of hikes in Waterton Lakes, but our favorite by far was Red Rock Canyon. There is a trail that walks along the rim of the canyon, but we climbed down into the canyon for an epic creek walk!<\/p>\n<p>Our feet were numb the entire time, but it was a blast climbing and navigating the river. It was pretty low when we were there, but a few spots got up over our knees.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll want some good toe protection as there are big rocks under the water that you can\u2019t really see.\u00a0We recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2k09uhj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Keens<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can also stop at the Waterton Glacier International Peace Park. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/articles\/000\/waterton-glacier-international-peace-park-world-heritage-site.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about what that is here. <\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=2560&amp;ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Waterton Lakes Hike\" class=\"wp-image-8570\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR-300x201.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR-768x514.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR-82x55.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 82w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=160&amp;ssl=1 160w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Waterton Lakes Hike\" class=\"wp-image-8570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR-300x201.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR-768x514.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR-82x55.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 82w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=160&amp;ssl=1 160w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/RedRockWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Funny story . . . at the beginning of the hike there are a ton of people hanging out and playing by the water.

This is known as a high moose traffic area, but again, it\u2019s totally hit or miss.<\/p>\n<p>There just happened to be one the day we went there. Some people recommend early morning or evening, but I am pretty sure this was the middle of the day . You just never know!<\/p>\n<p>Seeing wildlife is amazing. But remember, they are wild animals, so you don\u2019t want to get too close and you do want to give them space. Also, always have your bear spray with you. This is a serious thing\u2014have your bear spray.<\/p>\n<p>When we were there, a worker had gotten mauled by a bear that she had surprised while out picking huckleberries. It was at dusk, and she was in a quiet area. She was OK, but it just shows that it happens. One of the trails was also closed the whole time we were there due to bear activity.<\/p>\n<p>That said, don\u2019t let it stop you from going out exploring; just be prepared. Bring your bear spray and know how to use it. Hike in groups. Talk or sing while you are hiking to notify bears you are there. Don\u2019t let your kids run ahead around blind curves. If you are in an area that is quiet, yell out \u201cHey Bear\u201d as you are hiking.<\/p>\n<p>We never came across a bear while we were hiking \u2013 thank goodness! We did come across a deer and it was amazing how suddenly it was there. I imagine coming up on a bear would be the same way. Yes, I was nervous about it \u2013 but with a larger group, yelling kids and bear spray, I felt we would be OK.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-to-eat\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat\"\/>Where to eat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p>If you are looking for a family pizza night head to Jammer Joe\u2019s\u00a0which is by the Lake McDonald lodge. The price was right for the pizzas plus you can get breadsticks for a few extra dollars. As a family of 6 we ate for a very reasonable amount. Works for us!<\/p>\n<p>They also had an Italian menu if you were looking for something more. Be sure to check hours as they closed at 8:30pm I believe when we were there. Which is crazy since it wasn\u2019t even dark out yet!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=2560&amp;ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Pizza Place\" class=\"wp-image-8576\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR-300x201.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR-768x514.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR-82x55.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 82w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=160&amp;ssl=1 160w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pizza Place\" class=\"wp-image-8576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR-300x201.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR-768x514.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR-82x55.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 82w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=160&amp;ssl=1 160w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Where-to-eatWR.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>We also ate at the Nell\u2019s at Swiftcurrent Restaurant one night which is in Many Glacier.

It does take you by East Glacier Village where you could stop at the beautiful Glacier Park lodge. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1037\" height=\"797\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Map of the road around Glacier National Park\" class=\"wp-image-25653\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1037w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3-600x461.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3-768x590.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3-150x115.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=207&amp;ssl=1 207w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=829&amp;ssl=1 829w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1037\" height=\"797\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Map of the road around Glacier National Park\" class=\"wp-image-25653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1037w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3-600x461.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3-768x590.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3-150x115.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=207&amp;ssl=1 207w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/cdn.crazyfamilyadventure.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Untitled-design-3.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=829&amp;ssl=1 829w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><strong>2nd Option: Go into the park before 7am<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The other option is to go before 7am. Yeah we aren\u2019t morning people either so this is a tough one for us!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3rd Option: Book a night or 2 by the St Mary\u2019s entrance<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Another option is to book a night staying by the St Mary\u2019s entrance to the park. This way you could drive on the Going To The Sun Road after 3pm but instead of having to drive back you can just stay at somewhere by the East entrance. <\/li>\n<li>This also gives you a chance to explore the Many Glacier area \u2013 which is a big drive from the west entrance. But a section of the park we highly recommend you explore! It has one of our favorite hikes \u2013 Grinnell Glacier. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>4th Option: Book a Red Bus tour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have always recommended booking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glaciernationalparklodges.com\/red-bus-tours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Red Bus tour<\/a> if you felt like you didn\u2019t want to drive the Going To The Sun Road on your own. Now we also recommend it as a way to see the Going To The Sun Road if you can\u2019t get a vehicle reservation ticket. <\/p>\n<p><strong>5th Option: Book your trip in mid to late September \u2013 after the vehicle reservations have been lifted. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>September is a great month to visit Glacier! You take a chance that it may snow \u2013 but usually if it does in September it melts the next day. September can mean less crowds in the park versus summer too. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/glac\/planyourvisit\/vehicle-reservations.htm#Glacier-Without-a-VR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here is a link that the Glacier National Park site shares with ideas on what to do if you don\u2019t have a vehicle reservation. <\/a><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n<p>Planning a trip to Glacier?
