Cross-Country Skiing

Glacier has numerous cross-country trails, the most popular of which is the Upper Lake McDonald Trail to the Avalanche picnic area. This 8-mile (13km) trail offers a relatively flat route up Going-to-the-Sun Road with views of McDonald Creek and the mountains looming above the McDonald Valley. For the advanced skier, the same area presents a more intense 10 1/2-mile (17km) trip that heads northwest in a roundabout fashion to the Apgar Lookout. The most popular trail on the east side is the Autumn Creek Trail near Marias Pass. However, avalanche paths cross this area, so inquire about current weather conditions. Yet another popular spot is in Essex along the southern boundary of the park at the Izaak Walton Inn.
