COMFORT AMONG GLACIERS

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK has two railroad entrances. From Glacier Park, the eastern entrance, auto stages take the visitor to Two Medicine, Swiftcurrent, and St. Mary Lakes, where launch rides may be taken. Glacier Park Hotel at the railway station, and Many Glacier Hotel at Swiftcurrent Lake, are modern hotels. At Two Medicine Lake, Cut Bank Creek, St. Mary Lake, and Swiftcurrent Lake are comfortable chalets reached by auto or by auto and launch. Granite Park and Sperry Chalets are reached only by horseback or hiking, as are the camps at Crossley Lake and Waterton Lake, and Fifty Mountain Camp on Flat Top Mountain.

The visitor choosing the west entrance, at Belton, will find camps and chalets there, and auto service to the hotel at the head of beautiful Lake McDonald. This trip also may be made by a combination of automobile and boat. Lake McDonald Camp and Skyland Camps, both reached by auto, provide comfortable accommodations. Motor travel will not be possible between the east and west sides until the Transmountain Road is completed, probably about 1933.
