NATIONAL PARKS PORTFOLIO

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

COMFORT AMONG GLACIERS

A SMALL but imposing aggregate of the scenery of the Glacier National Park is available to the comfort-loving traveler. There are two entrances, each with a railroad station. The visitor choosing the east entrance, at Glacier Park, will find auto-stages to Two Medicine Lake, St. Mary Lake, and Lake McDermott.

At the railway station and at Lake McDermott are elaborate modern hotels with every convenience. At Two Medicine Lake, at St. Mary and Upper St. Mary Lakes, at Cut Bank Creek, at Lake McDermott, at Gunsight Lake, at a point below the Sperry Glacier, and at Granite Park are chalets or camps, or both, where excellent accommodations may be had at modest charges.

The visitor choosing the west entrance, at Belton, will find camps and chalets there, and an auto-stage to beautiful Lake McDonald, where there is a hotel of comfort and individuality in addition to public camps.

There is boat service on Upper St. Mary Lake and Lake McDonald.

But if the enterprising traveler desires to know this wilderness wonderland in all its moods and phases, he must equip himself for the rough trail and the wayside camp. Thus he may devote weeks, months, summers to the benefiting of his health and the uplifting of his soul.
