Montana “Must See”, Includes Popular Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park is always on the top of the list when it comes to National Parks. People from all over the world are constantly traveling to the United States or throughout the United States to see the most beautiful places, and Glacier is almost always on the agenda.
Glacier is so popular, it is often on found on "most visited" lists. Glacier National Park isn't the only National Park that shares Montana that makes these lists. Just last year Yellowstone National Park was on the Top 15 Most Visited National Parks of 2023, coming in 15th, with Glacier National Park taking the 33rd spot.
With the exception of 2020 when Glacier National Park was closed for three months, park numbers have hovered around the 3 million mark for yearly visitors.
- 2023: 2,933,616
- 2022: 2,908,458
- 2021: 3,081,656
- 2020: 1,698,864 (Park closed March 24 to June 8, east side of the park remained closed)
- 2019: 3,049,839
There are numerous things to take into consideration when planning a trip to Glacier National Park. From hiking, camping, eating, and site seeing, the possibilities for a great time are endless. There are fees to get into the park, just like other national parks. The fee is what keeps the park open.
If you haven't finalized your summer plans just yet, keep in mind a trip to any national park is always a great choice. You will have the perfect backdrop for any photo plus you get to relax with natures natural beauty.
If you are planning to use a shuttle service, which I recommend so you as the driver can also look around at all of the beauty, make sure to book it early.
