We know how it is. You’re stuck at your desk and the day seems to be going on forever. Your mind starts to wander — at first to “anywhere but here,” but then to exotic, faraway lands where your everyday problems and stress melt in the presence of true paradise.

…Hidden Lake at Glacier National Park! This massive national park in Montana straddles the U.S.-Canadian border and boasts a staggering one million acres for you to explore. Here, you’ll find lush forests, rugged mountains, alpine meadows, and spectacular lakes. With over 700 miles of trails, it’s pretty much a hiker’s dream come true. It’s also a prime spot for watching wildlife, as hundreds of species call Glacier their home. Canadian lynx, grizzlies, mountain goats, moose, elk, deer, river otters, porcupines, minks, and many others can be seen around the park, not to mention tons of birds and plenty of fish. Whether you come to hike, boat, camp, or fish, you’ll want to make sure you’re in a good spot to enjoy enjoy the gorgeous sunsets that stretch across the park every evening. They don’t call Montana “Big Sky Country” for nothing!
