Many Glacier Hotel
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, MONTANA
If there was ever a time to visit this park in northern Montana, it’s now: Of the 120 glaciers that existed in the park more than a century ago, only 26 remain. Scientists predict that if global warming continues at its current rate, they all might disappear by 2030, adversely affecting the ecosystem and landscape. For now, the air and water are magnificently pristine, and the species of flora and fauna are practically unchanged since the park’s inception (which is rare). With more than 700 miles of trails, it’s ideal for backpackers of all levels. At the park’s center sits the isolated Swiftcurrent Lake, next to the charming, Swiss chalet–style Many Glacier Hotel. At 93 years old, the hotel is starting to show its age, but the basic rooms are quaint. The suites with balconies looking out on alpine views (watch for bears), the cozy lobby where afternoon fondue is served, and, ultimately, the unparalleled location all make the hotel worth seeking out – before the park changes forever. www.glacierparkinc.com/manyglacierhotel
