In the wake of the weekend snowstorm that dumped feet, not inches, of snow on northern Montana, Glacier National Park in places shimmered like a winter holiday card.

Evidence of the great range of elevation at the park was seen in the snow cover at Many Glacier (4,500 feet), Two Medicine (5,164 feet), and Logan Pass (6,647 feet), and the lack of it at West Glacier (3,215 feet).

The storm left some pretty incredible snow totals in and around Glacier: nearly four feet at St. Mary, three feet at East Glacier, and 52 inches at Babb outside the Many Glacier entrance to the park,

One part of the park that escaped the snowy brunt of the storm was West Glacier, though the view across Lake McDonald was picturesque.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
