Glacier National Park (Mont.)
A daily schedule of popular guided trips afield, all-day hikes, boat
trips, campfire entertainments, and illustrated lectures is maintained
at Many Glacier, Going-to-the-Sun, Two Medicine, Lake McDonald, Sprague
Creek, and Avalanche Auto Campgrounds, the leading tourist centers.
Naturalists who conduct local field trips and walks to nearby Hidden
Lake and Clements Glacier are stationed at Logan Pass daily from 9 to 4.
A small museum dealing with popular local natural history subjects is
maintained throughout July and August at Many Glacier Ranger Station.
Cut-flower exhibits are installed at various hotels and chalets, and an
exhibit of rock specimens is in the lobby of Many Glacier Hotel.
Requests from special parties desiring ranger naturalist assistance
are given every consideration. All park visitors are urged to avail
themselves of the services of the naturalists who are there to assist
them in learning of the untold wonders that abound everywhere in the
park. Acceptance of gratuities for this free service is strictly
forbidden.
For complete information on naturalist schedules and types of service
offered consult the free pamphlet, Ranger-Naturalist Service, Glacier
National Park.
AUTOMOBILE CAMPGROUNDS
For the use of the motoring public a system of free automobile
campgrounds has been developed on both sides of the park. On the east
side, these camps are located at Two Medicine, Cutbank, Roes Creek, and
Many Glacier. The west side camps are at Bowman Lake, Fish Creek,
Avalanche Creek, and Lake McDonald. Pure water, firewood, cookstoves,
and sanitary facilities are available, but campers must bring their own
equipment.
