How long is the drive from Kalispell to Lethbridge?
The direct drive from Kalispell to Lethbridge is 200 mi (322 km), and should have a drive time of 4 hrs 5 mins in normal traffic.
If you’re going on a road trip from Kalispell to Lethbridge, we did the research for you and compiled some great stops along the way — with Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park, as well as top places to visit like Conrad Mansion Museum and Bigfork Summer Playhouse, or the ever-popular Sea Me Paddle Kayaking & SUP Tours & Rentals.
The top cities between Kalispell and Lethbridge are Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park. Glacier National Park is the most popular city on the route. It's 1 hour from Kalispell and 3 hours from Lethbridge.
The park is home to towering mountain peaks, crystal-clear lakes, and miles of hiking trails that allow visitors to get closer to hundreds of wildlife species. The park was christened the 10th national park in 1910 and is located in Northwestern Montana in the Rocky Mountains.
What a majestic place!
We spent 7 days in this wonderful national park and we enjoyed every single minute. Going to the sun road is amazing and very reminiscent of Switzerland. The campgrounds are full in August and make sure you reserve you camping spot several months before your trip. I saw multiple cars driving around looking for a camping spot with no luck. If you love hiking, Highline trail is beautiful for sight seeing and observing the wild animals. The hike can take 10-12 hrs depending on how fast you are and on the hike conditions. We did in August and some spots had snow on the ground due to recent snow storm. Also, you can park the car at the end of the trail and take the shuttle to Logan pass and start the hike there. Make sure you check the shuttle hours since they vary. In addition, keep in mind that going to the sun road is closed from September til early June. My favorite part of the park is the Many Glacier side and we stayed at the Swiss Lodge which is worth to stay at least one night if they have availability. There is another gorgeous hike from many lake to the glacier but you need to take the boat pass or wake up earlier and hike two lake before you get to real hike.

This has to be one of the best national parks EVER. There is so much to do, with over a hundred miles of glaciers, waterfalls and more. The campgrounds are very shaded and are VERY popular so book your site in advance! No matter where you stay or what you do Glacier National Park, it is breathtaking for all.

Glacier is truly the best national park in the country, hands down. The beauty and wildlife speaks for itself, I’ll let the photos do that job. But what Glacier does best is traffic maintenance. They do a phenomenal job managing the reservation and permit process in order to keep the beautiful landscape pristine and free of crowds. I know people get frustrated with the reservation competitiveness, but it’s a necessity for a park this popular, and they really do it better than anyone else. It’s fair and accessible and easy to do if you know what you’re doing. We never had issues getting campsites or vehicle reservations and we went in peak season.
This place is massive and you could spend a lifetime exploring it. We spent a week in east glacier and a few days in west. East is better by far. Better hikes and scenery, more wildlife, and no crowds. But the amenities of of the west were nice. Grinnell Glacier is a must do hike, and you must take a dip in the glacier lake. We will definitely be back.

Glacier National Park is a pristine masterpiece of nature, a haven for those seeking the untamed beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Its majestic landscapes, including snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, and vast alpine meadows, create a visual symphony that lingers in the soul.
The iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road offers a cinematic journey through the heart of the park, revealing panoramic views of glaciers and valleys. Glacial-carved wonders like Lake McDonald and Grinnell Glacier captivate with their serene grandeur, inviting exploration and contemplation.
Wildlife enthusiasts find solace in Glacier, where grizzly bears, elk, and mountain goats roam freely. Hiking trails range from leisurely strolls to challenging treks, providing access to hidden gems like Hidden Lake Overlook and Iceberg Lake.
Glacier National Park stands as a testament to conservation, preserving a pristine ecosystem for future generations. Whether cruising along the glacial lakes or embarking on a mountain adventure, every moment in Glacier is an ode to the power and beauty of the natural world, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking the sublime in the heart of Montana.

The 15,000+ reviews speak for themselves. You want to experience this gem of a National park while the glaciers are still here.
Notice that all negative reviews are from visitors who have not spent a minute researching the proper procedure of entering. We have made several cross-country road trips and have entered and exited the park many times without ever having a problem. The National Park Entrance is open 24 hours, all year round, and will give you access to the Going-To-The-Sun Road from the west side. This is one of the most epic routes in the country, so you don’t want to miss this! HOWEVER, you need to book an online reservation to get in, and the slots are open from May 27 to September 11, 2022. This is a simple procedure that is done online. Do this, and you won’t have a problem entering.
The entrance fee is about $35, but we recommend the annual National Park Pass, which is $80, because you can enter unlimited and visit all National Parks. Both are very fair prices for such a unique experience and important place for our environment.
Also, bring water, food/snacks and a sun hat. You can easily forget time and wander the entire day.

First time to Glacier National Park and it won’t be the last! What a beautiful place to see. So many hiking trails, waterfalls, pullover lookouts. Great place to bring a bike. Great place to camp. It’s a bucket list must see for anyone who enjoys the beauty of the planet we live on. Amazing place.

Glacier National Park is absolutely breath taking. If you love nature and hiking, you have to visit this place once in lifetime. It is mainly a hiking park but if you are not a hiker, you can still visit it for a couple of days. Going to the sun road is amazing and you need reservations for it. Even if you don't book it months in advance, they book a few couple of days in advance. You can stay in whitefish and drive to the park if you don't find any accommodations in the park. Whitefish has some good lodging and dining options.

Amazing mountains and views and lakes, even though you don’t see a lot of “Glaciers”! You MUST have a vehicle registration to get into the park, in addition to paying to get in! This has to be done on-line the day before, and you are not guaranteed to get one! If you done get one, get to the park well before 6am and the gates are open, and while it’s an early morning for you, it gets you into the park. Once in, go to Logan’s Pass. There are some great hikes from there (hidden valley lake trail) but the parking lots fills up very fast! The Lake McDonald Lodge is cool to stay at, eat, or take a boat ride. Also, boat rides leave out of Sunrise by the St Mary’s visitor center. The visitor centers do not have food. Bring your own food and drinks in a cooler in your car! Consider taking the bus that takes you throughout the park. It’s a hop on, hop off bus and saves you the hassle of parking if it’s crowded!
Go and enjoy the spectacular views!

Pictures don’t do this INCREDIBLE destination justice. It is absolutely breathtaking and unbelievably beautiful! It’s an incredibly special spot for me too as my husband proposed to me at the top!!! We went in mid September and it was the perfect time to go. Be prepared to be in awe with each turn!!!

This place is amazing, the mountains are unbelievable. Would 100% go here again. On the drive, we saw multiple mountain goats too, so that was really cool. It is additionally very fun to hike at, and some of the views are just amazing. 5 Stars, would go again.

Wow. Truly breathtaking. My absolutely most favorite park, ever. There are not enough pictures that could describe the beauty this park holds and is. There are so many waterfalls, hiking trails, and gorgeous scenery, that you can spend a week here easily. The west side of the park looks like the pictures, and the east is a bit more dry, but still gorgeous. Very highly recommend. If you don’t want to pay the park fees, you can enter before and after hours as well! (Check their website if they are still doing this) At the top, there is a very popular trail, but the parking lot is very full quickly, so be prepared to go very early or after hours if you want yo get a good parking spot. They do not allow dogs on trails though, so keep that in mind if you travel with yours. Overall amazing park and experience.
Julia Riley — Google review
The park was incredibly crowded when we visited in mid-July. It was almost impossible to find parking at any location after 8 am. Arrive very early if you want more ease in that respect. We had a little haze from the Canadian fires, but other than that, it was absolutely spectacular!!
Katherine Williams — Google review
Its on the top of the list among the National parks I visited. Grinnell lake overlook is a must must hike, would definitely come back for it.
Other things we did were going-to-sun-road, Avalanche lake hike(trail of ciders), hidden lake hike, motor boat at lake McDonald.
Its a must visit place, with all majestic views everywhere.
Kirandeep Kaur — Google review
One of the top National Parks, absolutely amazing. Beautiful views, scenic vistas, towering peaks, has it all. Road to the sun is a great drive, but do it EARLY! We started at 6am and had no problems finding parking or stopping to take pics. On the way back, by 10am, everything was packed, no parking.
Don't forget the car pass and bring snacks and water!

This is one of the best national parks I have ever been to. It’s so beautiful and the timing was just so perfect as we went during the beginning of fall colors. The snow just started on the mountains, the white mountains, fall colors , water green trees and some bears. Will be back here sometime so that I could see the place more beautifully

Thank you glacier for giving me some good memories and pictures to look back on definitely loved this place and the local towns and city’s near the park, Glacier and Yellowstone both emphasize the beautiful landscape of Montana and how it should be preserved even beyond these parks so future generations and visitors can enjoy such a beautiful place

On a recent visit to Montana we drove to Glacier National Park after a snowstorm. It was incredibly beautiful and so peaceful. We walked down to the lake and into the woods. Can't wait to return in the spring.
Joanne Kurtz — Google review
Stunning beautiful mountains and lakes! We were fortunate to be able to take the Going-to-the-Sun-Road which is almost a 50 mile drive each way. It reaches a height of 6646 and is a narrow two lane highway cut on the mountain sides offering panoramic views of the valley below and the jagged opposing mountains shaped by previous glaciation. Every turn seems to offer a must see perspective, so take your time, pull over and take it in.

An absolutely dream come true! I always dreamed of visiting Montana and it did not disappoint. I was shocked at how clean the state was. It was pristine and awe inspiring. Although I am afraid of heights, I trekked up the mountains and was left breathless with wonder at the beauty of the scenery. We have nothing like this back home in Delaware. If not for all my family living on the East Coast, I'd pack my bags and move to Montana in a heartbeat.

The Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada boasts of both prairie and mountain landscapes, abundant wildlife species, and diverse vegetation. This unique national park has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an International Peace Park, and a Biosphere Reserve due to its different habitats such as prairies, forests, tundra, meadows among others. It offers breathtaking views of the Rockies that meet with flat prairies, a stunning lake and castle on hilltops.
One of my favorite National Park. Not as busy and more quiet than other National Parks in Alberta. Nice variety of trails for all to enjoy nature. Beautiful lake and cute village to wind down and relax.

Beautiful! What more can be said. So many amazing hiking trails. Family friendly or more advanced. Lots of washrooms available at many different trails heads or near one.
Amenities in the town are great. I've always had friendly and good service anywhere I've gone, be it a restaurant or a shop. Great picnic spots and day use areas around a beautiful lake.

A lovely park with some epic views! We recommend Cameron Lake, Bear's Hump Hike, and the views from the Prince of Wales looking back over the water. If you leave here and drive north - make sure you stop at the Grumpy Goat for some great ice cream, too..!
Ryan Smith — Google review
A place for short getaways and serenity with few options of meals within the area but no fast food chains. However there are good fried chicken, ice creams and burgers around. All within walking distance. Get a cruise down the shoreline for an amazing view of the mountains on the Waterton lake or drive a little downhill to explore some creeks and lakes or to Prince of Wales hotel for an eye opening view.

Oh my goodness! In the 30+ years I've lived in Alberta, I'd never been to Waterton until recently....and WOW! What a wonderful place to explore. There are so many hikes and trails and gorgeous spots to experience. It's a must see for locals and tourists alike!
Pictures are from the village of Waterton as well as Cameron Falls.

A must! This is a magnificent national park full of amazing pockets of beauty.
We went during the last half of September and seeing the park in autumn was simply jaw dropping. The changing colours of the leaves against a backdrop of rugged mountains, calm lakes and blue skies was like walking into a postcard.
At this time, early Fall, there weren’t many tourists which gave us a more comfortable and relaxing stay.
We spent a week here, making it our home-base while exploring other parts of Alberta. 2 days or overnight would also be good if you can’t stay any longer. A day trip to Waterton Lakes National Park would be too short a visit. This place has so much to offer.
There are many hiking trails around from easy short ones to the more challenging trails, one can select whichever is preferred.
There are many coffee shops and restaurants as well in the area, which makes taking a break or having a good solid meal ideal after a hike.

Certainly one of the best of the national parks. Plenty of things to do and gorgeous scenery. Also home to one of the best, if not the best, hiking trails in Canada. This park definitely is a must visit.
Austin Froese — Google review
A beautiful place for few days trip.
The lake has clean water but beaches are full of pebbles n rocks so I would recommend to take pair of slippers or pool sandals to use on beaches or in the lake.
Few places to visit in the national park n few activities to do including biking, hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, horseback riding etc.
Many times you will spot wild life too.
definitely, worth of a visit if you like water, mountain n nature.

This park is one of my absolutely favourites to visit in Alberta. The lake is gorgeous and it doesn’t matter where you choose to go in - all spots are fun for swimming. I enjoy the Main Street with the shops and restaurants. I don’t find it to be as busy as other national parks *cough cough Banff* so I feel that you get to enjoy without constantly having tourists around. Red Rock Canyon was a fun stop for the kids to splash around in nature. We will be making a yearly summer trip out as I can’t get enough!

Waterton National Park is a must visit destination. The beautiful park has many trails for hiking with much breathtaking scenery. Taking the boat tour is another great way to see more amazing views of the mountains on the Waterton lake. We went later in August, the weather was pleasant but very windy. The town's amenities are great, though the town was busy, it wasn't saturated with people.

We were personally greeted by a friendly volunteer. It turned out we were the only ones staying that night and it was a truly special experience.
The mountain and meadow views were lovely. The campsite was spacious.
There was a flush toilet, no water and no power. There were a few big buildings with picnic tables.

Only stayed here for two days, and it was better than I remembered. My last visit to this place was almost a decade ago, and I remember being bored just being here. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see many wildlife and did not do the available activities, but it was superb nonetheless. My recommendation is to bring a raincoat, jacket, and water. I would also recommend bringing equipment for hiking as well as for kayaking. Out of the three Alberta National Parks, this one is at the top despite its size. Will visit again for the hiking trails and kayaking.

It's an amazing landscape of flat land and mountains with scenic beauty. It's a must visit park to explore the landscape. If you are fortunate enough, you can spot a bear enroute red rock canyon. Bison spotting is fine too..

Highly recommend this park for summer and fall adventures. It is best experienced then. During the winter it really becomes a ghost town, but if you like cross country skiing, fat biking or winter hiking this is a good place to come in the winter too, and especially to experience the high winds this place gets.
But, for me summer is best!

Waterton Lakes National Park
We had wild fire smoke during our visit, hence the haze, but the views were incredible.
Waterton National Park, established in 1895, is Canada's fourth national park and part of the world's first International Peace Park with Glacier National Park. Together, they celebrate peace and cooperation between nations.
We had an unforgettable adventure crossing borders from Glacier National Park to Waterton Lakes National Park! The journey started with a smooth border crossing, and we drove in awe to the historic Prince of Wales Hotel.
The Prince of Wales Hotel, located in Waterton Lakes National Park, Canada, was built in 1927 by the Great Northern Railway. Its name honors the future King Edward VIII, who visited the region in 1927. The Hotel, perched on a hilltop, boasts a rich history. Its majestic architecture and breathtaking views of Upper Waterton Lake make it a true gem of the Rockies!
When you visit Waterton National Parkdon't miss these 5 amazing activities:
🍁 Hike the iconic Crypt Lake Trail.
🍁 Take a scenic boat cruise on Waterton Lake.
🍁 Explore the Red Rock Canyon.
🍁 Witness the stunning Cameron Falls.
🍁 Stargaze under the dark skies.

I did a day trip from St Mary, MT to Waterton Lakes National Park and it was well worth the day I spent . The park is not quite as majestic as Glacier National Park on the USA side of the border but it's still beautiful and if you are visiting Glacier National Park you should take the time to see the Canadian side. The town of Waterton makes for an excellent stop in the middle of the tour of the park with lots of shops, places to eat and hotels.

My Husband and I are up here for our Honeymoon, and this was one of my favorite parts of our trip so far. Flathead Lake was beautiful and peaceful. Sea Me Paddle was actually closed for the season, but still met us out by the lake to honor the rental reservation we had made 4 months ago. They were friendly, communicative, informative, and overall just very nice people. Everything went smoothly and I would absolutely do this again.

We rented kayaks from the Lakeside location and then headed out from Dayton to Wild Horse Island. We had a FANTASTIC experience! The paddling out to the island was beautiful and smooth, and we enjoyed hiking around the island where we saw bighorn sheep, mule deer, and other wildlife. The rental was easy, straightforward and convenient. Already planning our next trip! Flathead Lake and Wild Horse Island are MUST SEEs if you're in the area. Thank you Sea Me Paddle!

Just make sure you have the right date when you show up!! 😜
The Conrad Mansion Museum, built in 1895 and now fully restored, offers guided tours by period-dressed guides. It is a significant part of Kalispell's history and boasts beautiful gardens ideal for picnics or leisurely walks.

Fascinating place with original furniture, clothing and toys. The guided tour is very worthwhile.

Conrad Mansion is a historic site in Kalispell that is a well maintained museum. While impressive on the outside, it is even more impressive on the inside. It has high-end architectural features, quality wood and had 'modern day conveniences' for it's time. Lots of beautiful woodwork. You get pulled back in time into the life of the Conrad family. It isn't uncommon for there to a cheaper day annually for locals. They also have events around Halloween and Christmas.

The Conrad mansion is a beautiful piece of Kalispell's history and their gardens are great for a picnic or a small stroll. They've redone their gardens recently and they did a beautiful job. I've been on their tours a few times too which are all really interesting. Their Christmas tour is especially magical since the mansion is decorated beautifully evey year. My husband and I actually got married there so you could say we're a little biased!

Interesting historical home with unusual features. Look for the secret tiny doors built into the wall under the main staircase. Fun story. We took a self-guided tour but overheard the tailend of a guided tour. Guided tour would add to the experience. Check out the Faerie Steps nearby (search GPS) and how they are associated with the Conrad family. Photos are allowed without flash. I don't want to give away all the surprises but will show where to find the secret doors.

Bigfork Summer Playhouse
Campground
Concerts & Shows
Theaters
Rising college-age stars perform in popular Broadway musicals at this summer stock theater.
In full disclosure before I review, my daughter is a cast member. We travelled to see her perform in all four shows. My husband and I kept saying to each other after every show "...no one is going to believe us back home when we tell them how absolutely professional and amazing these shows are". Our family has seen a good bit of theatre over the last 5 years (and paid much more for tickets) and are so incredibly impressed with the quality of the Bigfork Summer Playhouse shows that we just saw. The choreography was top-notch! Vocals absolutely stellar! Transitions were seamless. The live musicians were excellent. Also, I am not sure when/if I have ever seen better acting! Drowsy Chaperone was hysterical...the whole audience was laughing most of the time. Joseph was a delight on many levels. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was simply beautiful. Mama Mia was so great that we were still singing the songs in the car on the way home.
I will most certainly follow the careers of many of these actors to watch for their inevitable successes professionally!

We had a wonderful time watching Elf. They need to have roped lines for waiting in line though or some sort of organization. We went in the door thinking we had to exchange our on line tickets as that's the notification we got but found out we didn't. We were waiting for our daughter to park and join up with us & just stood inside. We saw the lady selling tickets say something so I went over to see what she said, she basically told us the line was in one spot (the lobby was PACKED) so NO ONE coming in knew where the line was, and that we were ALL crowding. Well if that's the case the solution would be to have some direction before it gets to that point in the lobby. It's winter folks no one wants to wait out in the cold. Other than that it was so festive & a great show. I would love to help out if you need.....

I love the heart and soul that goes into keeping live theater alive at the Big Fork play house. Its an amazing jewel that should be attended often!
Andrea Hayden — Google review
They put on great productions! Reasonably priced tickets, great quality, and I enjoy how roomy the house is--it's easy to get past people in the same row without feeling like you're about to fall in someone's lap! Plenty of stalls in the women's bathroom (ladies, you know how it is!) and the lobby of the theatre has some really cool artwork in it.
The Great Northern Bar & Grill, a classic bar that opened in 1919, exudes a vintage charm evident in its historic walls adorned with signs from long-gone businesses. This establishment is well-known for its live music offerings and is considered to be one of the rowdier Whitefish restaurants. The menu features quintessential bar foods such as sandwiches, burgers and wings - perfect for casual dining or enjoying with friends while playing pool.
Very nice outdoor patio. You order for abs drinks at the counter and they delivery it to your table. Fast service and family friendly. We got the veggie sandwich and jalapeno poppers and both were really good!

My husband and 16 year old Granddaughter went to the Great Northampton Bar and Grill. We did not eat there, it was for activities. It’s a large bar , always busy. We played ping pong, a shooting gallery, and shuffleboard. They had a band playing outside on their patio. The have two bars, always busy. Fun place to go.

We visit this bar every time we come to Montana. It keeps getting better and better! We enjoyed sandwiches for lunch-I had the veggie sandwich. Packed with veggies, my husband had a grilled cheese with mushrooms. It was fantastic. And, $2 large cans of Miller High Life. We liked it so much we bought some merch.:)

Love this place. Packed but awesome atmosphere and the back patio area is awesome. Acoustics suck for the live music but the atmosphere and intimacy between you and the band is freaking awesome. Bar tenders are super friendly, bar food in one corner... one of my favorite bars in the valley.

I had been going here for a month now. Since it is getting closer to tourists season they have been slacking. I used to get good amount of fries and hot fries at that. Now past 2 times has sucked. This last time me and my husband only got a corner of fries. I don’t paid $28 for just double bacon cheeseburger with basically no fries. I don’t think we will be going back.

We ordered fish tacos, Buffalo chicken wrap and the Northern burger. Fries were supposed to be with each meal. Fries came with two meals and they were so oil soaked you couldn't eat them and there wasn't much. I asked for lettuce and tomatoes for my burger and it didn't come with my raw burger. The Buffalo chicken wrap was cold and barely had any Buffalo sauce. So, being locals, we should of known better, but we figured we would give them a chance again. We will not be back. We also heard other tables complaining of the lack of food quality. I watched the guy in the kitchen use his bare hands continuously touch many food items as he prepared them. I also witnessed face touching in the kitchen as they handled the food. Avoid... Avoid... Avoid....
Go down south a couple miles to the Midway Tavern and get great food and portions and waaaay better beer prices for the same exact beer.
You will thank me.

A busy, fun place with a good, old-school vibe. Lots of interesting locals. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks. The bartender was very busy but attentive once we ordered our first one. You order food at the back where it says "Groceries" and they bring it to you. I got the Northern Burger and fries which were yummy. My wife got the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and salad. The wrap was dry as served, so be sure to ask for sauces when you order. The drinks were cheap, the food was reasonable. Also, they had $2 Rainier Tall Cans!!!

I read the reviews ahead of time but I had no issues. They do close the full menu at 10 and at 10:45 they were already telling other people food was closed. We ordered from the snack menu around 10:15 and were pleasantly surprised by the wings, fries and fish and chips. The side of fries came with plenty of fries.

Took my friends here for lunch, and we were all very disappointed with cold chicken wraps and undercooked burgers. We asked for fries for our side and got chips instead with a cashier that was barely attentive nor seemed to care. We won't be coming back because the food quality is unsatisfactory for the money you pay. Locals deserve to have better food quality here in town despite tourist season, no exception. McDonald's or across the street is better sadly.

“Internationally famous burger” was a preformed patty. It okay. But if you compare it to Bulldogs Saloon. It wasn’t great. Bar looked cool. Atmosphere was nice. Food was fast, but out of everyone onsite we were the only ones ordering food

Only eat here after you observe the cooks in the back and make your own judgement. I personally would think twice about cleanliness. Lady there coughed into her arm thats fine. Scratches hair. Fills the shredded cheese bin. Pushes cheese down with bare hand. I dont know if it was washed. But thats the food area.
Bar tenders work hard are friendly. You can have a tab here.
Food is the only thing i would skip.

Super cool bar, connects in a full circle. The night I went it had a good band playing, lots of people, high energy, pretty cool! I held a star back for the difficulty in getting drinks. I think they need more bartenders on shift. It took about 10 min to be acknowledged, then it was fine, but ya, cool place. I'll go back for sure.

A local bar with a wonderful atmosphere. I visited during the songwriter festival. If you enjoy discovering some new singers/songwriters, this is a must stop.
Jeffery Lippincott — Google review
If you’re looking for just food, don’t be fooled by the vintage bar only look when you first enter. There are a number of tables and booths toward the back with, most often, plenty of seating.
I didn’t have any drinks, but for me, where Great Northern shines is with the food. First, they have had perfect health inspection ratings for almost all their recent reviews.
The staff member who helped me at the order area was very workable and helpful with dietary changes. I had a turkey sandwich with a side salad. The bread was fresh and soft. The turkey was very good and all the vegetables were fresh. The portions were a generous size.
Food or drinks, Great Northern is worth a stop.

Great place for a bar rescue team to come and get rid of these rude bartenders. Ordered food and was met with complete rudeness. Asked for napkins and ketchup and she pointed across the bar where I could go get them myself. No line at the counter either. No smiles no friendliness — curt and bad attitudes. Right next to my hotel and will not be returning. Pizza place across the street has much better beer and vibes and friendly staff! Why is it so hard to be nice?

A beautiful busy train depot. We arrived after 2:00 pm & they scheduled to reopen at 4:00 pm, however, they never did open. We are not sure what happened & there was no one around to ask. We looked forward to visiting the museum inside the depot but maybe next time. The outside is very well kept, with bright colors, clean grounds, & beautiful train art. The old bus out in front of the depot has a great history so don't pass it by. The evergreen trees were budding beautiful cones.

I've booked a round trip in state and had the first train canceled because of weather, got rescheduled for the train the day after I was originally supposed to leave, and then had that one get canceled too due to a "service disruption." Spent over half an hour on hold both times trying to get it figured out, and while the customer service rep was decently friendly they provided nothing that I couldn't have done myself through the website if Amtrak actually let you make changes on your own.

Amtrak cancelled our return trip to Seattle and offered the earliest available rebooking more than a week later, leaving us stranded in rural Montana. When speaking with a service agent after spending 45min on hold, the agent disconnected the call when claiming to look for alternatives. Any airline offering this type of service would long be bankrupt.

The building itself is pretty cool. We arrived about an hour before our departure and went into the waiting area. As soon as we opened the front door there was a homeless man laying on the floor. There was a not so pleasant odor inside. The bathrooms were not very clean. We went and sat on a bench in the park across the street until our train arrived.
Whitefish Mountain Resort is a ski mountain that also offers a ton of summer activities like hiking, biking, and zip lining. This resort is located in the small town of Whitefish, Montana.
Plenty of runs and wasn’t too crowded for right after Christmas. My kids and I enjoyed this mountain. There are more than enough instructors to go around if you’re in need of lessons such as my youngest did. Great place to start them young. Chauncey was awesome to work with and helped out enormously teaching me some things as well. I noticed that all of the instructors were super cool with the kids and made everyone’s time great! Will return 🔟🔟

The skiing was bad due to the warm weather but let me tell you about the food. The most amazing food I have ever had on a ski mountain and I spent a lot of time at Deer Valley. The mountain is more for intermediate to expert skiers as what we saw was steep. The staff was exceptional and we had no issues with anything except the snow!

Amazing mountain! Great variety of terrain over a large, well dispursed mountain. Never a huge line at the lift. Lots of great food, drink, and swag options both top and bottom of the mountain. Good grooming and some spectacular view if you catch a bluebird day here! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

This is our first time in Montana and we chose whitefish mountain because of its location. We were very happy with the accommodations at the local resort and the lodge itself is very roomy with lots of fires! The ski school was great for the kids to learn to snowboard for the first time! We took lessons and went on some of the easier runs. We plan on going to two or three more over the next couple of days. The lodge is beautiful and the prices are more than reasonable! Great value for a family vacation
Mark Gladden — Google review
Ski terrain is very diverse, from steep glades to mellow groomers, the mountain truly has a run for all abilities! We visited in late March and still had good snow. It’s more firm in the morning so we headed to the back bowl to experience some northernly facing slopes and it was much softer back there. Plenty of pow stashes to be found if you know what your doing! 10/10 will be back again!

The weather wasn’t great the day we went so that may cloud my judgement but overall we enjoyed the place. There was plenty of parking and we figured out where to go after stopping once to inquire about the ticket office. The food we got in the lodge at the top was mediocre at best. The trail did have a confusing sign when we were coming down and we couldn’t find our way to the blue slope. We were avoiding black diamonds. We would definitely come back with better snow conditions and try again and pack a lunch. The resort is a quick 10-15 minute drive from the town of Whitefish and we absolutely adored the town. Had lots of fun checking out coffee shops and dinner venues and shopping along the way.
Lynn Doty — Google review
Fantastic variety. No one will be complaining. Trees galore, moguls galore, steep, gradual and choices to choose all in a single run from Summit (chair 2). Easier stuff on chair 3 along with terrain park and half pipe. Chair 11 should be experts only as all blues require a lot of double poling. Cute chutes throughout. Better value than any Colorado bargain hills.

I really had a good experience at this resort as a first time introduction to winter sports. The staff was incredible friendly, professional ,and helpful - shoutout especially to Amanda at the front desk and Ignacio (of Chile) in one of the shops for being ultra helpful and friendly. Snowboarding instructor Pep was very patient with me as I struggled through lessons and I’m glad he was willing to work with me despite my struggles. I’m really grateful to Mick for spending extra time teaching me as well. I look forward to returning and I hope that as I progress in winter sports, that this will be my annual go to.
Thank you so much for a good and positive experience.

Lodges at the resort are clean, spacious, and worth the price. The views are amazing around the entire resort, especially if you take the chair lift. This is the perfect place for any gathering, special occasion, vacation, or just for the day. Being 15 minutes from whitefish, 30mins from kallispell, and 45mins from the west entrance to glacier national park, it makes it a perfect location to stay.

First time on this hill and there is great terrain and snow! A nice variation in more open groomed runs and tons of tree runs, it was busy but didn't feel crowded. Shorter runs than I'm used to in the Canadian rockies but made for more runs in a day!

A great mountian. I was able to ski over 20k ft for each of three days. We hit some good weather. Some fresh snow, one day of sun. A couple of days with fog on the front side. Ski in ski out lodging was very convenient. They had good grooming. They also had runs for all skill levels.

Big Mountain is excellent. Affordable, unpretentious and a wide range of runs. El Niño has devastated ski resorts around North America this winter but Whitefish had been able to stay open and slowly open new runs. Beware low and flat light conditions and bring the right type of lenses.

Never fails to disappoint (we have been very lucky weather wise). Great mountain with lots of terrain to explore. First time bringing the kids this season, and they really progressed with the more advanced terrain. Bierstube is a favorite for apres.
The Polebridge Mercantile & Bakery is an off-the-grid bakery and minimalist grocery in Glacier National Park that serves legendarybear claws and cinnamon buns. It's the de facto hangout spot in this tiny community, and attracts everyone from hikers to international travelers.
Polebridge was a must do on our Montana trip. I heard about it in a song by Owl City and it looked interesting in photos, so we made the drive. It’s totally worth it.
This is a little shop with souvenirs, a bakery and other types of food. No cell phone service and it’s near Canada! There are a couple big dogs that greet you and they are sweet. The staff here is friendly. The views are nice as well.
If you’re thinking about making the drive from Whitefish or Glacier, just do it. Don’t forget to buy a delicious bear claw.
Wade Williams — Google review
Beautiful mercantile and bakery far off the beaten path with well earned reputation for delectable pastries and bread. The huckleberry bear claws are famous and worth the trip all by themselves.
Speaking of the trip, it takes about an hour to get there from downtown Columbia Falls, as the North Fork road is unpaved in places with a 35 mph speed limit. The drive is beautiful in places, especially near the large pastures with the mountains of Glacier serving as a backdrop.
There is a good selection of souvenirs and t-shirts, and several old photographs of the North Fork a century ago.
Must stop if one is going into the Polebridge entrance to Glacier Park.
Al Steiner — Google review
For a store in the middle of nowhere, there was a surprising assortment of fresh baked food and friendly atmosphere. We even had canine company while we ate outside. Nice to see the use of some solar power (as able) for transportation and inside the store. It was cold and rainy (start of the season), but we still enjoyed our two quick visits here. Maybe one day the road will get paved all the way, but it was worth the extra time and muddy conditions to travel up to this hidden part of the GNP area.

We took a long drive to Polebridge from Hungry Horse today. It was long because we stopped frequently to take pictures of the views. We heard they had yummy pastries and we heard right! I had the fruit fritter and it was delicious. We sat outside on picnic tables. They do have outdoor restrooms/bathhouses that are very nice. The mercantile has free glasses of fresh water and the staff is willing to give directions and suggestions to visitors. They have souvenirs and necessities. Great stop on our way to Bowman Lake. Take a map because there is no cell service around there and the roads are dirt and gravel. The views are spectacular. We did not stay overnight.

You looking for a good huck’n bear claw? Look no further! This place is a gem and what you have heard is true. Just visit this place. The drive up is absolutely beautiful as well. It is an easy decision, just remember to get there early, as it can get very busy. 11/10.

It's a bit of a drive to get to, but it totally worth it for the bakes goods - try the huckleberry bear claws. There is a nice picnic area and a place for the kids to stretch their legs after the drive. There are some souvenirs (t-shirts, cozies, books) in the mercantile for purchase.

A very unique place with a unique experience. Summer time is the busiest time. Winter they close the town down an only have the locals there. They all live mostly off the grid there. When leaving Columbia falls make sure you have drinks and snacks as its quite a ways to the Polebridge. Businesses are a bit expensive but worth it. Hope you enjoy! 😊

I may never visit Montana again. It’s been over 10 years! I worked their for 5 years. My 3rd 4th, and 5th year, I would drive to this bakery, 45 minutes away, almost once a week. They are amazing! Their pecan cookies are the best! I would kill for the recipe.

We live in the area and wanted to visit this back country market and bakery. It is a historic site, being an active market since 1914. The drive from Columbia Falls along North Fork Road and along the North Fork of the Flathead River is beautiful, but mostly a rugged gravel road. Bring the best car you have available for this. They have various supplies for people camping in the area, but are also known for their baked goods. I got their fruit fritter, which varies from day to day on the variety and it was quite good. My wife is gluten-free and got a brownie.

Very much off the beaten path but the huckleberry bear claws made it worth the effort. I would recommend getting a Glacier Park North Fork vehicle pass to bypass most of the rough road between Columbia Falls and Polebridge. Take your time and enjoy the North Fork of the Flathead River and a side of Glacier Park that many overlook. Don't expect cell or wifi service so take a breath and enjoy being disconnected.

We did not stay in the cabins, but we visited this adorable little town! I love the Polebridge Mercantile! The shop was a step back in time, as was the rest of the town.

We stopped in just to check it out, and I had to leave a review because we don't understand any of the bad reviews. We didn't have anything other than an EXCELLENT experience!
The huckleberry bear paw was the best pastry we've ever had! The girls working we're extremely polite and friendly. Idk what you expect of a store, their prices are their prices, if you consider it expensive than don't buy anything! We found the prices reasonable, I'm sure they've gone up - the cost of everything has gone up so they have to increase their prices to still make a living.
It was adorable, 10/10 stop on our Montana trip. If you're visiting and want to have a lunch stop or just see an amazing little stop in the middle of nowhere - you should swing by PoleBridge!
Dan Flaherty — Google review
My husband and I are road tripping and heard good things so we made sure to stop in for lunch. The Merc was adorable-they had everything from locally made jewelry, tea/coffee and even a small grocery area for basic things. We ended up with one cold sandwich, one hot sandwich and a huckleberry bear claw and ate it all in the little picnic area. The bad reviews left previously from other customers are nonsense. The prices are what they are for a reason, people need to get over it. The “vicious” animals? I saw two kittens which ferociously lick my finger and the wild dog was sun bathing. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop in!

Sheer delight! This place gave me the sweet goodness that I’d craved. It’s such a pretty drive up as you seek out wildlife along the way. Once there, the road opens up to a mercantile that holds the most delicious baked goods. (Along with other things) such a great treat!

This is a seasonal spot. According to their website they're closed Nov 1 - Mar 31, which makes sense given their (beautiful, mountainous, and very northern) location!
But if you're lucky enough to visit during their open seasons make sure you try a huckleberry bearclaw!
I thought the drive here was a blast, and it was absolutely gorgeous. We came from Columbia Falls area, so it was ~20mi down a dirt road skirting the western border of Glacier National Park. Stunning!
It was awesome getting to buy a couple beers and drink them outside. The aforementioned bearclaw and a pepperoni pastry were the perfect post-hike treats to accompany our beers. (Cyclone Lookout is a great nearby trail if you're looking for one.)

A fun drive to get to but worth it for the bear claws. The road outside of the park is in better shape than the one inside the park.
They also have a food truck with some yummy looking food.
Lake McDonald is the largest in Glacier National Park and offers stunning scenery, including views of Lake McDonald. It's very popular so be sure to get up early for your Glacier National Park engagement photos!
Went to Glacier NP in end of July for my daughter's birthday. The weather was perfect during this time. We kayaked on Lake McDonald in the morning. It was serene and calm with not too many people. More people came later in the day. Would recommend going early. The park had a nice combination of restaurants, gift shops, hotel accomodations and launching pads. The lake itself was beautiful to be on. You can see the mountains and beauty much better from the water.

Gorgeous views, clear blue water, and some of the freshest air you’ll breathe. We rented kayaks and spent a few hours paddling the shores on a relatively windy day. It was worth it, but in retrospect probably would’ve rented on a different lake or stream in the park. Ended up stopping along the southern shore and swimming, which was great. Cold, but great. The views of the lake driving up GTS road are phenomenal as well. Overall, worth checking out from the Apgar area. Consider a kayak or boat rental, but be prepared for some wind. And definitely get out for a swim, weather permitting.

One of the most iconic locations in Glacier National Park and for good reason. It’s super easy to access being right next to the airport and the west entrance. It’s absolutely stunning with clear waters and colorful rocks. The sunset views are unbeatable with the lake reflection and gorgeous orange sunshine. A must see if you’re visiting the park.

This is the most beautiful water I have ever swam in. It’s very cold but feels so amazing. There are several dirt parking lots along hwy 2 to access the river and you have to walk down a fairly steep trail. Pretty magical place.

Bowman Lake is a large, glaciated lake located in Glacier National Park. It's accessible via Camas Road, and is popular for recreational visitors and wedding photographers alike. The lake has great views of surrounding mountains, making it an ideal spot for engagement photos.
It was an amazing sight to see. Rough road to get down to the lake, but a must-see if you are in the area and well worth it. If you love nature this place is for you.

So peaceful.
Sudden storms may occur (be prepared).
Limited parking spots. It's better if you have non-motorized water craft so you can enjoy this Lake in the fullest.

Down a long, one lane, dusty dirt road through forest and meadow, lies a lake near the most remote corner of GNP, and it is pretty! The campground was full yet quiet, except near the lake, and the restrooms were surprisingly pleasant. The water was clear and cold, and the lake bed was covered in pebbles that were great for skipping on the glassy surface!

Incredibly beautiful lake surrounded by mountains. It is worth driving on gravel roads to get there. I wish I had my kayak, but we just went for the view. The water was cold but guys were in the water fishing and some were kayak. It is crystal clear. You have to drive past Polebridge Mercantile, so be sure to stop there for a bite to eat. The place is peaceful and views are incredible.

Beautiful and worth the drive on the washboard road. Tip...if you have 4wd, turn it on...if you are able to drive closer to the speed limit, the bumps are actually easier to go over that way.

Nice quiet area of GNP. Not as easy to get to as some of the other areas in GNP, but I guess that is why it is more quiet. Very nice mostly flat trail along the lake. Bring your bear spray for safety.

True gem of Glacier National Park. The road out in amazing and has recently been redone. Be sure to stop in Polebridge for a sandwich and some snacks. The drive out takes a bit. Lots of gravel. Luckily we had the protections on our rental car so we didnt worry. When you pull into the campsite there's lots of options for terrain and mainly spots to choose from. I'd suggest arriving early on a Thursday or Friday if you're wanting to get a good spot as it can be busy. There are trails around the lake and other smaller lakes you can hike to. At night be sure to step out and look up at the stars. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Awesome experience visiting this lake, road to the lake was rough but was not difficult to drive.
Be cautious while driving, if you are not used to drive on rough roads and also while if it rained or raining.
Few suggestions:
You have to choose bowman lake campground for navigation for google maps.
Make sure to have a offline maps downloaded.
Come before 9 AM if you plan to spend a day there or after 2 PM. Or else you might not be able to find parking or enter the park. I went there around 10 AM and waited until 12 PM to get inside
For food, either pack yourself a lunch or get a food from polebridge.
Pack yourself swimwear as it will be tempting yo get into water.
Bring water shoes if you like to walk around the lake in water.

This place is great. Not crowded and very tranquil.the round to get here is so-so but not terrible. Numa Lookout is challenging hike but well worth the effort. And there is Ranger Fire Spotting Scope at the end of the hike. If Ranger is there it is your lake day because they my show you inside and explain how fire spitting works and show you incredible ancient trech they use. Swimming in the lake at the beach by parking lot is very nice. Fishing is also great.

Such a beautiful lake. If you dont get there very early you will most likely have to bike or walk the 5 mile rd. Which is a journey in its own. I recommend the bike ride. Lot gets full fast. Beautiful trails all around. Very quiet.
Located in Glacier National Park, Avalanche Lake is a popular hiking destination that offers stunning views of snow-capped mountains and forested slopes. The lake is surrounded by dense woods and mountains, making it difficult to access, but the quick bop over to Avalanche won't spare you the crowds.
Avalanche Lake was one of my favorite trails I ever hiked in Glacier National Park. It feels like you are walking through a prehistoric forest with the massive leaves and trees. The river that runs through this area is absolutely mesmerizing with the way it cuts the gorge and rocks around it. The rocks are super slippery though so I do not recommend getting too close to them out of the danger of slipping. Avalanche Lake itself lends perfectly to photos and offers dramatic reflections of the mountains and forest behind it. In the fall the leaves were changing all sorts of colors which lent itself wonderfully to photos. I would put this hike on your list especially if you only have one day in Glacier!

Beautiful trail. Lake is not huge, but it is gorgeous. Hiked it at the end of April 22. Going to sun road was closed, so had to hike from lake McDonald which is a 17 mile hike or so. About 8 miles in and 8 miles out. The last couple miles to lake was in snow.

A must visit place in glacier national park. Absolutely loved the hike to this scenic place. It's a Lil over 2 miles with 600 ft elevation and a moderate hike to this stunning lake. Reach the parking lot early to save time looking for parking spots as it fills up real quick.

At the end of Avalanche Lake trail which is 2.24 Miles from parking lot you get to this beautiful lake with multiple cascading waterfalls dropping for surrounding mountains into the lake. You can also walk a trail along side the lake. The views are worth the 2.24 Miles walk.

We visited this place in July 2022. This trail is located on the West Entrance on Going To The Sun Road. To drive on this road, you will need a pass. If you don't have one, go to recreation.gov The park makes 1k tickets available the night before and it cost $2.00 If you don't have a pass, they will not let you in. Also if your vehicle is longer than 21 ft, they will turn you around. To those who have a longer RV, there is a campground outside St. Mary Entrance that will accommodate you. Read the review I did of that RV park. We stayed there for 4 nights. We also stayed on a campground outside the park on the west side of Glacier, Big Creek Campground. Read the review I did of that place. It may help you decide to camp there if you can't camp inside the park due to the length of your vehicle or RV. There is way to get in if you don't have a pass. You can either get in before 6am or after 4pm. They do that to control the traffic and not congest the roads nor parking lots. After 4pm most people have left the park. This keeps the traffic going. This is a famous NP and thousands visit it. There is a check point where they verify your park entrance, your pass and the length of your vehicle. You can buy bear spray for $50.00. I know right or rent one at the Apgar Village. I don't know the prices. We learned that you can rent them as we were leaving the park. So we brought home with us the unused $50 bear spray.
Now, let's review the trail itself!
This trail is located on the Lake Mcdonald Valley area which is closer to the West Entrance. This is a must trail in my opinion. You should get to the parking lot early, I mean 6am early. The parking lot holds about 25 to 30 cars. We got there at 6am and it was halfway full. You can definitely do this with the kids. You start at the trail of the cedars and go onto the Avalanche Lake. You walk through the forest so you don't get that much panoramic views of the park, but once yiu get to the lake, you'll take in all the beauty before you. You can actually spend the entire day at the lake if you want. Had we known, we could've brought some chairs, more snacks, water shoes, sunscreen, and some inflatable tubes. As we were heading to the lake, we saw a few people carrying inflatable tubes. Whe we got there I realized the reason. There are 2 beach like areas where you can sit on the sand or your chairs in the shade, and float on the still lake with almost no current near the beach area. I wished we knew that. We would've stayed longer. I would definitely do this trail again .

Amazing hike with amazing lake on top. Lots of people on the trail. It’s hard to find parking lot spots but if you come early in the morning, you’ll be well off. Took a dip in the lake and it’s nice and chillly. The trail is mostly shaded and was wet because it rained a lot. Lots of people on the first beach but if you go to the opposite side of the lake you can avoid the crowds and swim since it’s deeper on the back end
Diana Smith — Google review
Overall easy hike to get to the lake. Definitely worth going early enough to see the sun rise over the mountains. Moments of going uphill, and rough terrain. Pit toilets at the lake are available, bring your own toilet paper/sanitizer. Get to the trailhead early - parking was limited by 645 and trail was busy by 830.
Heather Kuntz — Google review
Beautiful! If you are only going to do one moderate difficulty hike on a trip to Glacier then I recommend doing this one.
Bring adequate water and a snack to enjoy sitting next to the lake. There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the waterfalls flowing into the boxed-in lake. The water is cool so bringing some water shoes and having a swimsuit under your hiking clothes is a good idea. The water is clear but you will kick up dirt walking around in it.
Watch out for the chipmunks when you have food since they can be very aggressive.
Matthew Couch — Google review
A moderate 4 mile round trip hike. This is a beautiful hike that includes rushing steams, dense forest, stunning waterfalls, and a magnificent lake. Accessible virtually year around. This hike scenery changes with the seasons. Parking may be a pain, but the hike is worth it!

Beautiful but busy. Absolutely worth the 6 mile hike (and even the extra 2 miles when there's no parking nearby). There's a bit of elevation, so do your research and plan ahead. We stopped to put our feet in the water at the end, and seen a bear on the way back. Highly recommended when visiting Glacier National Park.
Hidden Lake is a popular day-hike destination in Glacier National Park. From Logan Pass, hikers can take the Hidden Lake Overlook Trail down to the lake which is home to abundant wildlife. The short trail also runs through gorgeous alpine meadows, covered with wildflowers in summer and home to abundant wildlife.
This is an absolutely beautiful trail and the final destination at hidden lake is worth it. Bonus is you have a high chance of seeing mountain goats and big horn sheep. Occasionally you may come across a bear, but we did not see one this trip. I would say the trip to the actual lake is much easier than coming back. There are very steep switch-backs that definitely test your stamina. Make sure to take plenty of breaks on the way up! I would say another great bonus is seeing all the beautiful wild flowers on the way to the lake.

Though parking can be tough at Logan Pass, visiting the center and the surrounding area is worth the effort. There are plenty of restrooms and exhibits, indoor and outdoor. The trail to Hidden Lake starts out the back door and is along a boardwalk for a good portion, though I still recommend bringing water and good shoes or well-fitting sandals. There's a couple herds that appear to love the are as well - Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goat! BTW, visit the Hidden Lake overlook - it's very worth the climb!

It is one of the most popular hikes in Glacier National park, Montana. Lots of stairs & it is an uphill trail to the beautiful lake. The trail of hidden lake starts behind the Logan pass visitor center.The view is amazing. We saw five big horn sheep on the trail. The lookout wooden platform is well maintained.
The hike is moderate but worth it. You have to park your vehicle in Logan pass visitor center. Finding a parking spot is very difficult.

Nice incline up to the ridge overlooking the lake below. In late Spring there may still be snow up there but I as there in mid July and the snow was pretty much over on the shaded sides of the mountains.
Mountain goats are a popular animal out here along with Marmots, Pika’s and ground squirrels/. The hike up the wooden boardwalk is a good work out folks, pretty easy though.
Wildflower come out in full force in the spring time too.

This is an amazing spot with a beautiful lake. It’s mostly boarded so easy to climb up. It is all up most of the first half but not a difficult hike. Fairly short. We saw mountain goats and rams. A beautiful experience. It does get very busy and the parking lot is fairly small so expect to wait for parking or have to leave and come back at another time

While parking is a major challenge at Logan Pass, this is a hike worth taking. One of the best, if not the best, in Glacier National Park. It’s a boardwalk for much of it, so very easy, with only moderate elevation. The non-boardwalk parts are easy dirt trails. You can’t get lost. The “lookout” is a 1.5 mile straight shot and gets you to about 8000 ft. So 3 miles round trip. You can hike down another 1.5 miles down to the lake, but that obviously makes the hike an additional 3 miles. This is a must do hike, at least to the lookout.

The hike from Logan’s Pass is a moderately strenuous uphill 2 mile climb but along the way to the lake we got to see a mountain goat, multiple mountain sheep, and breathtaking vistas. Take as many breaks as you need especially if you adjust to the altitude the way I do and my breathing got very difficult for the first mile. Once you get to the viewing area of the lake there are a lot of people scrambling to take pictures and space became tight very quickly. It wasn’t the most beautiful lake I got to serve while at GNP but a great hike!

What can I say. This is the most beautiful lake scenery in the whole Montana state. I love the hike and the sights all around the trail is just amazing. Anyone in the area must see this place. Views are breathtaking. Trust me these pictures doesn’t do the justice. It’s a place that need to be on your bucket list. I can not wait to go there again.

This was one of my favorite hikes at Glacier. Finding a parking spot can be a challenge, so taking a shuttle is advisable if possible. And it is more crowded than some other hikes, but for good reason. The views were stunning and also be on the lookout for a wide variety of wildlife. If you have the time, I'd highly recommend going down to the lake, which is a perfect spot for a picnic lunch or just a relaxing break enjoying the amazing scenery.
David Riggleman — Google review
One of the beautiful alpine lakes in Glacier National Park. The start of the trail is through Logan pass. The trail takes you to the overlook and through the overlook there’s another trail that leads you down to the lake. Since the trail starts from Logan Pass, finding a parking spot is very challenging, so make sure you leave early.
Chances of seeing wild goats on this trail is quite high. Also bear spotting is high when you walk down towards the lake from the overlook. During our time, the trail to the lake was closed because of the bears, so have your bear spray ready.

Very nice hike. Most of the way up it’s decking.
The geology is amazing but the wildflowers are simply stunning.
Stop and look. Don’t miss the best of the trail! You might see wildlife you might not. Usually there are mountain goats and ground squirrels.
If you want there is more to the trail than just the overlook.
Logan Pass is the highest navigable point by road on the Continental Divide. The pass is located in Glacier National Park, at an elevation of 6646 feet. The views from the summit are stunning and it's a popular starting point for many hikes.
You definitly want to stop here. Logans pass has great views, scenery. Wildlife, etc. Just be aware, parking can be full due to the number of visitors. But no worries, it's worth the wait

Beautiful views in the park there are fields of wildflowers. Beautiful glaciers and Lots of wildlife. Logan Pass is the highest elevation (6646ft/2025m) and is accessible by car. It is really popular with visitors and the parking lot is usually full between 8:30 am sometimes even earlier and 4:00 pm. Consider visiting the park by using the free shuttles to avoid limited parking, or plan to visit early or late in the day if possible. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and have sunscreen.

Anyone heading to Glacier National Park, Going to the Sun Road and Logan Pass are essentials. Where with friends, family, or solo.
While many with make a bee line to Highline Trail, there is much to offer at Logan’s. The hidden lake and panoramic vista’s just past the visitor’s center are breathtaking. Also the overlook viewing area near the entrance to Highline is a must.
We love heading up as a family to have a wondrous time playing in the snow in early/mid July. Tossing some snowballs or making frosty’s cousin’s. Also the amazing wildlife, including mountain goats abound!!!

Very beautiful place and a good place to park and go on trails. Has public restrooms, plenty of car parking, good trail paths with beautiful mountain views. I’ve visited this place in the month of June and the pass was open to public by then. The road(Going to the Sun road) to this place is one of the most beautiful drives I’ve ever driven. Very narrow roads but it is worth driving till the Logan pass. A must visit place in the Glacier National Park.

Beautiful area & views. Snow was still on the trail in July, towards the end of the trail but before the lake overlook. Appropriate footwear is needed unless you like slip-sliding all the rest of the way. And water hiking sandals aren't sufficient by the way. I look forward to going again with "snow-capable" hiking boots so I can finish the hike. If you don't like taking 30 minutes to find a parking spot at the visitor center, go extra early. :) Also, note that there is not a restroom on the trail...prepare accordingly. Otherwise, enjoy the gorgeous scenery!! 🤩

Logan's pass is a stunning area, whether you're hiking, admiring the view, or checking out the visitor's center. we saw these boys near the parking lot - please make sure to stay back, and never feed the wildlife!

Absolutely worth beating the crowds and heading into the park at 5:30am, especially if you don't have a park pass because then you won't be allowed in until after 3pm. The parking lot at Logan Pass fills up FAST during peak season, and if you go early (5:30am) you can have more unobstructed views of everything. Also, at Logan Pass, you will see people park further and further down the hill and walk up, which seems pretty brutal because it's steep, and you've still got a big hike ahead of you. Be prepared to see animals roaming about on the hike, and please be smart and don't get close.

Hands down the most beautiful pass. It actually is a spot for some of the best trails. We entered the park through the West Glacier entrance and took the Going-to-the-Sun Road to reach to Logan pass. The views throughout were immaculate and spectacular. There are multiple overlook points in between that one can stop at and admire. We didn’t have enough time to watch the sunrise but if you have that in your itinerary, Logan pass is the spot. For sunsets I’d recommend Lake McDonald. The trails that we did that started from this pass were Hidden Lake Trail and the Highline Trail. Logan pass is also the spot for the Continental Divide, which separates the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds of North America. If you plan to do the Logan Pass trails make sure you have enough food and water because the trails are long and the visitor centre is only open until 5:15pm. Also make sure you reach there early to save yourself a parking spot because 9/10 times the parking spot is full and you don’t want to waste your time waiting for someone to leave.

Logan Pass is at 6,646 feet where the Going-to-the-Sun-Highway crosses the Continental Divide. It is the highest point on the Going-to-the-Sun-Highway, and roughly 2/3 of the distance across the Park.
The scenery is quite beyond words and this is another Must-Do when visiting Glacier National Park. We found that many of our pictures showed mountains with their peaks in the clouds. What we could see was marvelous so I know the rest would be grand too.
The Visitor Center is atop the Continental Divide, and from there access is available to the Highline Trail, known for wildflowers during the summer. Access for other trails is there also.
The Visitor Center is open mid-June to mid-September and is staffed with helpful rangers and several exhibits. There is also a gift shop. The restrooms are nice and very welcome.
We had hoped to enjoy a picnic lunch we brought with us to eat there, but this area is also known for high winds, and this day the wind was frigid. We ate in the car and enjoyed the view from inside. Food service is not available here.
There is what seems like a lot of parking, but it is often difficult to find an available place, as this is a busy area.
Going-to-the-Sun Road is a seasonal route that showcases stunning alpine landscapes complete with cascading waterfalls and mountain goats. This road may be closed during snow season but its scenic beauty remains unmatched, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The route presents an ideal opportunity to witness some of nature's most breathtaking visuals while experiencing the crisp mountain air.

Two Medicine Lake is a beautiful and serene alpine lake located in the heart of Glacier National Park. The scenery is stunning and the opportunity to take in breathtaking views of the mountains is simply unbeatable. With hiking trails, a campground, and boats that can take you around the lake, there's plenty to do here whether you're looking for a day trip or an extended stay.

I took a family of six on the boat ride on Two Medicine Lake for only $85. Is an excellent value!
I wish we had known that they would drop us off at the other end of the lake. We would have done the hiking trail if we had known ahead of time. Even if you're not hiking, the boat ride is incredible.
The boat is almost 100 years old but is pristine and recently restored. The sliding windows made it easy to take photographs. Our captain, was a young lady in a early 20s, who allowed us to spend time at the front of the boat taking pictures! She was very knowledgeable about the lake, the boat, and the history of the area. She even had a few good jokes!

Awesome scenic place close to the east entrance. There are a lot of campgrounds and picnic spots. There are some quiet fishing spots. People can take the boat ride tour which has a 45 person capacity but you have to reserve your place asap. There are kayaks and other motor boating options too. A lot of natural trails and hikes are there too which are moderate to difficult. If you go for hiking during the summer take a bug spray or repellent.

Cameron Falls is one of four notable waterfalls in Waterton Lakes National Park and can be easily accessed from the townsite. The falls offer a picturesque view from a large viewing platform that is enjoyed by visitors. It's possible for the waterfall to occasionally turn pink after heavy rainfall, making it an even more unique attraction to see. Despite being located within the town of Waterton, Cameron Falls remains a beautiful little falls that's worth visiting while exploring this scenic area.
Beautiful place within the town limits. Peaceful and serene listening to the waterfalls. Hiked up both sides of the falls.
Definitely worth the visit especially since it is about a 10 minute walk from downtown.

It's a beautiful fall in the town with a short hiking trail on the side to have a closer look from top. You can do fishing as well but not a really large area to explore. Also, parking available right in front, for wheelchair accessibles as well. It's has beautiful scenic view if you go other way around, the one from the lake side passing through campaign areas towards Bertha hiking area. It's just lovely town to visit nd to spend time away from city life. Also, they have ferries to take you around US border to visit 30 min.

Bonus: across the parking lot was the most sanitary and comfortable public bathroom I'd seen all week in our travels around southern AB. Highly recommend for a pit stop!

The Running Eagle Falls is a beautiful waterfall that can be found close to Two Medicine Lake in the Rocky Mountains. The falls are named for a Native woman who showed bravery and good medicine in battle. The trail to the falls is paved and handicap accessible, making it easy for anyone to enjoy. Plus, the round-trip hike is only 0.6 miles long so its great for all ages!
Enjoyed this very easy, little walk to the most tricky waterfall in GNP! Tricky because when water flow is low, the falls only flow from a large hole in the cliff below the main falls' brink. When flow is high, it appears to only flow from the top of the falls' cliff! Very cool!

Wonderful easy hike to a beautiful waterfall. Some paved walk, stream crossing over a small single lane bridge. Trail gets very picturesque and pretty with every step!

We stumbled upon this amazing trailhead with waterfall while heading towards two medicine lake. The waterfall is peaceful and serene. The hike is easy with no change in elevation. I saw few people fish here. The wildlife is friendly. The story tied to this place is really interesting.

This is a quick >1 mile hike that is very level to a beautiful waterfall that has a "trick" to it. When the water is heavy, it gushes over the top, but on lower water days, like the day I visited, it travels through a tunnel.
Read the story about Running Eagle before you take the walk and it will have a little more meaning and special quality about the falls.

Amazing & powerful falls with a nice easy hike to them..

Running Eagle Falls is a fun waterfall to view as it flows through a cave before emerging on lower water levels. When high water volume flows it covers up this cave with a wall of water pouring over the upper cliff.
Waterton Park, also known as Waterton, is a charming hamlet nestled in the picturesque southwestern Alberta, Canada. Situated at the end of Highway 5, it's about 54 kilometers west of Cardston and 55 kilometers south of Pincher Creek. This serene destination offers a delightful escape with its scenic beauty and tranquil surroundings. It's an ideal place for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst stunning landscapes.
The Crypt Lake Trail in Waterton Lakes National Park is a 10-mile hike that can be reached by ferry. The trail has an elevation gain of 2,297 feet and offers beautiful views. Visitors to the park can also enjoy a cruise on Upper Waterton Lake or drive along the Akamina Parkway or Red Rock Canyon Parkway. The park is open year-round, with some facilities closed during the winter months.
Worth every ounce of effort! This is by far one of the most mentally and physically challenging hikes I've ever done but honestly the pay off was insane to spend the day at this majestic lake!
D Robinson — Google review
Beautiful hike, it's not technical, nor challenging. If you hike or exercise regularly you should find this hike a walk in the park. Great day, however not amazing enough to do again or spend the $30.00 for the ferry.

A must do when visiting Waterton. You will not regret doing this hike. Beautiful views, well maintained trails and lots of interesting sections of trail. Make sure you do have the fitness level for a 17+ KM hike.
Also depending on season pack for mountain weather. We've had +20 degrees along the beginning of the trail, with sections of deep snow near the top and cool weather. Bring lots of water.
Now there is one negative to this trail. The amount of people can be staggering. We've been stuck in literal "traffic jams" on the cliff scramble section. Where people are stuck going in either direction. This can be an absolute pain and hopefully the people will all be working together to keep things moving.
If hiking with a dog, be sure you are prepared for the ladder. We thought we were but found out we were not. Luckily, with the help of some awesome hikers we were able to raise and lower the dog safely.
As a final note.. BE CAREFUL on the wire rope section of the climb. We hit two burrs on the line and actually ripped our hands open to the point of running blood. After seeing it happen to a few people you realize it's an actual health hazard. If anyone has any transferable blood diseases, that is a dangerous location.

We did this hike with our dog. It is a beautiful, must-do hike. Some parts are very challenging - don't look down! For dog owners: I don't know if I would do this with a dog over 60 lbs because we did lift/boost her on a few parts. The ladder is the most difficult part, we had extra leads to help lower her down while letting her place her feet on the rocks. We also had a lead clipped to the cable for her Incase she fell, would highly recommend for peace of mind. Don't do this hike with your dog if you can't trust your dog.

Great hike, but be prepared for ~19km .!
Michael Columban — Google review
One of the 20 most exciting hikes according to Lonely Planet, this is the hike serious hikers should not miss out on when visiting Waterton Lakes National Park! Getting there requires taking a ferry boat from the village (return ticket $25, leaves early in the morning!). At the site there are little to no facilities, so start prepared with enough water, lunch, sunscreen, insect repellent and a bag to take your garbage out. The hike is about 17 km return journey and gains about 700 m. While walking hikers enjoy some nice waterfalls and beautiful overviews of the valley. We were a little concerned about the final part of the trail which contains narrow ledges and steep cliffs. All in all there was no reason to be worried: this part of the hike can be a little scary, but if you watch your step we found this part certainly doable, and we are not very experienced hikers. This part of the trail only comes at the very end, is rather short (less than 300m I think), the slope is less frightening in reality compared to pictures going around on the internet and the ledges are between 20 and 50 cm (and mostly 50 cm): at narrow parts there is a steel cord attached to the mountain to aid hikers along the way. If you are in reasonable shape this is an exciting and rewarding hike! Tip: take the first boat to make sure you have enough time to complete the hike in order to catch the boat back and to enjoy some extra cool shadow the first 200 m climb. Should there be any snow on the 'scary' part at the narrow ledges, I don't know if I would hike there, inform yourself before you leave.

The 700-foot high waterfallApikuni Falls is one of the most distinct attractions in Glacier National Park. It can be seen only by hiking through the park and its beauty is hard to miss. This waterfall is made up of two parts, which are hidden from most visitors because they are not visible from the trail. The hike to Apikuni Falls starts at the Apukuni Falls trailhead along the road into Many Glacier Park.
Great hike, weather was moving in, but still worth the trip, I was there in Sept 2021. I'm planning on going back 2022!
Wes Daughaday — Google review
The relatively short but all-uphill hike to Apikuni falls was no joke and not for those with limitations. However, it was absolutely worth the effort. The falls were beautiful, and my whole family felt a great sense of accomplishment for having made the journey.
If you're up to the challenge this should be a must see on any day spent at Many Glacier. Plan a minimum of 2 hours to hike up, enjoy the falls, and hike back down.

Un lugar muy agradable un paseo aproximadamente 1 km en la pendiente dentro del bosque muy visitado te recomiendo llevar un gas repelente contra osos no me topé ninguno pero la sensación de estar internado en el bosque vuela mucho la imaginación

A very pleasant place, a walk of approximately 1 km on the slope inside the very visited forest. I recommend you bring a repellent gas against bears. I didn't come across any, but the feeling of being inside the forest really blows your imagination.

Super nice hike of 1 mile (1.8km) with 600 feet (200m) of elevation gain. Very doable, offering good view on the falls as well as on the Wynn mountain. Don’t hesitate to push a little bit until the end!

Nice falls less than a mile from the trailhead. You do need to climb a good bit, but nice views of the falls reward the effort. Due to a thunderstorm moving in, I did not make it to the base of the falls.

The Museum of the Plains Indian, situated in an unremarkable brick building, boasts a remarkable assortment of costumes, artwork, handicrafts and relics that celebrate the cultures of various indigenous tribes such as the Crow and Cree. The museum provides a fascinating insight into these tribes' history and customs through meticulously crafted exhibits. To fully understand the area's significance, visitors can join guided tours led by tribal members or take part in hikes offered by Sun Tours.
Amazing museum. What luck to attend when Gregg was welcoming everyone and sharing his tribe's history and customs. If you love textiles or handicrafts this museum is simply stunning. Incredibly detailed exhibits and a memorable end to my time at Glacier. Check out Sun tours for a bus tour within the park or the hikes led nearby by tribal members to get an important history and perspective on the area.

Highly, highly recommend stopping here for an hour or so. The bead and leather work that they've preserved is amazing. They also have Blackfeet artists showing works and often creating them on the spot.

The museum was closed when we went there. There was a phone number posted on the door to call it if you would like to see the museum. Called two times and no one picked up the call.
As no one answered the phone we decided to wait for a while and tried to use the benches in the lawn and almost all benches had broken beer bottles on them.
Beware: Not at all a safe place to visit with kids.

Truly enjoyed this exhibit. Wished we had more time - got there 30 minutes before it closed. Enjoyed learning about the Plains Indians. The guy working there was quite helpful and even chatted with us 12 minutes past closing - it’s always nice to see people who enjoy their work. We also chatted with the sweet man who does the maintenance. It was free entry during winter hours - they close at 3pm (I think in summer they stay open later). If you’re in the area, stop by!

An interesting place to spend some time taking in the native Indian history.. Had no idea America had 542 Indian tribes!

We stopped by unexpectedly as we were driving through Browning and it was such a great experience. The exhibits were informative and beautiful and talking to Gregg at the front desk for a little bit was, by itself, well worth the price of admission. He fantastically kind and knowledgeable; we could have listened to him all day.
We also enjoyed meeting the demosntrating artists on site, who were both fantastically talented and a pleasure to talk to.
Very grateful to everyone involved for the educational and thought provoking experience.

The staff was very kind and the person at the front desk even had a stray puppy on his lap. Super cool and informative place. They feature some native artists who will explain their work to you. There is also a small gift shop with beautiful beaded jewelry and art.

I have not actually been able to go to this Museum of the Plains Indian as of yet. But anything that has to do with any type of American Indians/Native American People or the History of the American Indians/Native American People. It is worthwhile to go to learn more about & see the amazing ways that they give love & care about the living things around them. We as a whole should take the time to live & learn their old way of life, & beliefs.
The Blackfeet Indian Reservation, located in Montana, is home to the Blackfeet Nation, a federally recognized tribe of Siksikaitsitapi people. The reservation borders Glacier National Park and is known for its stunning natural beauty. Sun Tours offers bus tours of the park from various locations on the reservation, providing visitors with unique insights into the area's history and culture from Blackfeet and Assiniboine Sioux tribe members who operate the company.
Information Center at the front of the courtyard is open again after COVID. The flowerbeds are lush and colorful. The grounds are inviting for a stroll. These things can be enjoyed by anyone, (don't have to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). Entrance to the temple building itself is only open to members under the guidance of their bishops.

"The Cardston Alberta Temple, a centennial sentinel of faith, stands timelessly against the backdrop of the Canadian Rockies. With a history spanning a hundred years, its solid stone walls have borne witness to countless moments of reverence, joy, and spiritual evolution. As one of the earliest temples outside the US, it's not just a monument but a testament to the unwavering commitment of generations. 5/5 for a temple that gracefully marries the legacy of the past with the hopes of eternity."

Located just 25 km north of Caraway, Alberta, the Remington Carriage Museum is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts. The museum boasts an impressive collection of over 270 carriages that offer a comprehensive exploration of transportation history. Visitors highly recommend taking a guided tour led by knowledgeable and friendly staff to gain insights into the highlights and background of the exhibits.
Wonderful place to see. A great history lesson in every aisle you go down. Some amazing exhibits, you can spend days looking and reading all the information. Helpful, friendly staff. A great family day event.

Way better than I had expected, this museum is a must, especially if you get a guided tour to explain the highlights and the background, which we did, and it was worth 10x the value than doing a self-guided one.
I would consider this one of the top sights and Must Do activities if one is doing the cowboy trail or interested in any part of Alberta's historical past.
I highly recommend a visit here, an hour and a half minimum would be good, if you get the guided tour. It’s a huge place with so many carriages with all different histories, very interesting!

I had the pleasure of experiencing a guided tour led by the wonderful Jen. From the moment one of my friends inquired about a tour, the staff was accommodating and friendly, and Jen proved to be an exceptional guide. Her knowledge and eagerness to share her findings and insights added an extra layer of enjoyment to our visit.
The museum's collection is simply astounding. With over 270 carriages on display, it offers a comprehensive exploration of the history of transportation. From the humble carriages of farmers to the luxury carriages, each exhibit provides a captivating glimpse into the past. The collection not only highlights the diversity of carriage designs but also educates visitors about the historical context behind them.
One particular highlight of the museum is its restoration workshop. Witnessing the meticulous process of repairing and restoring these magnificent carriages was truly fascinating. The dedication and expertise of the craftsmen involved are evident in the impeccable results they achieve. It was a pleasure to learn about the time and care it takes to preserve these historical treasures for future generations.
I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the Remington Carriage Museum!

The Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden is a picturesque outdoor space that seamlessly blends Canadian and Japanese landscaping styles, featuring water elements, forests, and meadows. Located adjacent to Henderson Lake Park in Lethbridge, this garden was designed by an architect hailing from Osaka and built by artisans from Kyoto as a symbol of the enduring friendship between Japan and Canada. Visitors can enjoy strolling through the serene surroundings or partake in cultural events such as tea ceremonies, Sumo Sumo Sundays or yoga classes.
I have to say this is most amazing garden Ive seen in Canada. it very well represent Japanese garden design cues. The little streams and the little temple, plus some bonsai. really is very relaxing while walking through the garden. The pavilion will held different event by weekdays and weekends. our today Monday is showing the Japan martial arts. We so pleasing can find here and it all worth the price. 5 star recommend

Nice enough gardens, but veri lacking in colors. For the admission cost, we were disappointed. If it weren't for the small drumming show we would have been gone in less than 30 minutes.

I had a great visit early in the morning when there was only staff there. I would highly recommend visiting at an off-peak time. The garden is small but peaceful and very green. It would not be the same experience if busy. Despite a miscommunication in ticket prices by the ticket staff, I had a good visit and would come again. The operations manager was friendly and helped clear up the issues by email. Do ring the bell, it is surprisingly easy to do so and create a loud sound. Very fun.

We enjoyed the serenity of the gardens as they were meant to be serene. The walk along the paths and the trees were very relaxing. We went through the building on site and a young lady Noreve took the time to help us make origami birds. She also explained to us that if you make one thousand of the birds you get good luck and happiness. While we were there we got to write down a wish on a piece of paper and it was tied to a tree. We are planning another visit but either in the spring when the trees are blooming or the fall when the trees change their colours. Otherwise an enjoyable visit.

Pure Casino Lethbridge is a fantastic establishment for the residents of Lethbridge. It offers various gaming options like slot machines and gaming tables, as well as regular live entertainment. If you're interested in playing poker, it's advisable to call ahead to ensure availability. The in-house grill and bar serve up delicious food at reasonable prices, although they may have a shortage of wait staff from time to time. Despite this, customers can expect top-notch service when visiting Pure Casino Lethbridge.
Beautiful place! Great staff! The food is outstanding and such a great price!

Often stop here for supper. Great specials daily. Service is always top notch. And if u like liver this is the place. Ordered the liver,bacon,onions. Two piece and was stuffed. It comes with mashed potatoes but this time ordered the fries. Bad idea next time mashed potatoes. The fries were terrible and this happened before. Maybe frying them and re frying. Not sure but won’t order them again. Also we ordered a hot hamburger sandwich. That was fresh ground beef on Texas bread. Tasty gravey on top. Disappointed in their choice of vegetables. 🥦 cauliflower. With all the corn and peas and carrots grown around southern Alberta maybe that might be a better offering. Back to liver. Cooked just right tender and thin slices. Bacon and onions were cooked to perfection. Waiter was ok. Kinda forgot about us. But they were busy also. Always clean and the tables cleaned off fast for people waiting. Check out the pictures of the liver meal. Their prices are very reasonable and not drive in quality. Will be back that’s for sure!

For the population of Lethbridge, Pure Casino is pretty great. Decent selection of VLTs and table games. Always a good idea to call ahead if looking to play Poker. Their in house restaurant is fantastic. Good quality food at reasonable prices. The restaurant always seem short staffed with wait staff, but they always make up for it with killer service!

Food is always great and fresh , not a ton of options but a great variety and the servers are delightful and sweet all the time. Known for their liver and onions but I love the club house . ( mash potato scare scooped like hospital food ) but poutine is great! And drinks are perfect .

New years 80.00 basically for a buffet. Too many people in too small of a spot. People waiting to get food while your eating. You could see the band from any place and I could have brought my own party favors. Not worth 80.00.

Very sad how the restaurant has gone down hill. Went with friends last weekend, 1 ordered turkey dinner special. You now get 3 pieces of processed turkey slices, no more freshly cooked turkey. Baja Bowl is also very low quality & meals looked thrown together. Beef dip was full of gristle & fat. Caesar salad was slimmy & soggy. Been going to the restaurant for years & very disappointed lately. Prices have increased but quantity has dropped drastically.

Was in for a little ladies get away. Stopped at the casino. Had super at the restaurant. I had the hot hamburger 🍔 and it was only $11.50 which tasted fine. Until it didn't later in the evening. For 4 days. I ws not in good shape in my belly. But all in all the visit would've been good.
Would be back again

I’m really sad about this. I wanted so badly to leave a 5 star but we ordered prime rib medium rare was served to us well done and grey. Sent it back because that’s just nasty lol. (It’s also a super thin cut almost like a slice of roast beef)
Switched it for the NY steak it was better but not great…. The chef still over cooked it. And it was super inconsistent (some bites ok and others well done) one side was cooked more than the other. I didn’t want to sound like a complainer and send it back again so I just ate it and said thank you. We were both really disappointed.
It was our date night and was really looking forward to a bloody (actual bleeding lol) steak. The only reason I’m leaving a 3 star is because the waitresses were so nice and had excellent service. But the chef really over cooks the meat. Hope the chef improves next time because I really wanted to leave a super positive review.
The live music was great and bartenders were also wonderful. Wish I could give a 5 star. Maybe next time if the food improves.

Good burger, great gravy. The sound is almost completely turned off on the slot machines, To keep the near century old clientele happy. This place feels like a mortuary... Of course the games are tight, and if you like a casino with all the excitement of the library, this is your place..

We went here for the restaurant, not the gambling. The food was excellent and price is very reasonable. Good variety on the menu. Highly recommended.

Pure Casino in Lethbridge is the place to be during the week. Lindsay at the Buffalo Bar is amazing, funniest and kind hearted individual. Then there is Joyce. Wow. Incredible is all I have to say

The restaurant food was good (not great, but good) ! The wait staff were wonderful, tho,... very kind and attentive!
I'm not one who frequents casinos, so don't know how they rate amongst others. I can say that it was clean and seemed well maintained .... a bit *dated*, perhaps, in terms of decor.

We met some friends for breakfast at the casino. The breakfast special is $8.00 and was delicious. And the server kept the coffee coming!! That's something that doesn't happen much anymore! Will definitely return!

I have to admit it’s been more than 2 yrs since we stopped there due to pandemic, but my wife, daughter, son in law ,myself went here bout 7 pm for supper. My son in law ordered chicken stir fry with fine noodles. He got his order but No chicken. I ordered a beef dip w/ fries, my daughter ordered 2 parmesan deep fried curds, they came later, & chicken wings for my wife. The deep fried curds came at 2 different times, son in law got his chicken fried stir fry. Then came wife’s wings, which she couldn’t eat cause not fully cooked & my beef dip was tasty w/ gravy & beef dip sauce however it was roast beef loaded w/ grisliest beef ever. We were not impressed. Pity it’s gone so downhill. I never finished my meal & my wife never finished hers. The prices were still reasonable but quality suffered. You don’t eat eat uncooked chicken. We hope we can attend this great restaurant & casino again & find no deficiencies. Photo doesn’t show raw bones w/ckn wings. However, hopefully a large improvement due. It will be a while before we try it again sadly.

Great atmosphere, smells good. Very clean with friendly staff. Didn't eat here but played a few machines. Very well decorated! I would like to come back to try the food which I have heard is great.
So the less loved things are at the start of this list as their aren't many!
-The outdoor patio is too small. I say that because it was full and we couldn't sit out there. I imagine there are more tables non pandemic times which is why no stars were docked!
-As someone who no longer drinks alcoholic beverages, I would appreciate more non alcoholic options. Maybe a craft non alcoholic beer of some sort... could potentially be made in house... let me know if it happens, I will come try it!! I enjoyed the Grizzly Paw soda but would have enjoyed a non-alcoholic beer with my happy hour wings!
Thats it for the things I hope to see change. On to the postives:
-Menu is innovative, diverse and has ample options for all appetites.
-Alberta beef, that is always a plus for me.
-Service was fantastic!
-Food was hot, accurate to the order and tasted great. Sauces seem to be made in house? I didn't ask about that, however they were good!!
-Music volume was great and set a really comfortable atmosphere that encouraged socializing with the other patrons at my table. It also made it easy to hear the server!
-Being able to see into the brewery while dining made for an interesting and more unique dining experience.
-Restaraunt is kid friendly complete with limited kids menu!
-Locally owned
Tldr great food, great service, good atmosphere, locally owned, supports other local vendors. In the words of John Catucci "You Gotta Eat Here!!"

Very nice brewery with outside patio and decor. Selection of beer was great and tasty. We ordered appetizer (3 little pigs) and was pleasantly surprised by its size and pizza was huge for even 2 people to share. Service was a bit slower and sometimes confused (too many servers for one table). Otherwise everything was great and its worth to visit. Would definitely go back again.

The salads are overpriced, not to mention everything we ordered ended up so heavy with salt it was hard to eat. Was unable to mention it to staff because they were constantly unavailable. Was going to order dessert, but once they cleared our plates, they left us there for 20 minutes with no one coming by. Let's not forget how a few of the wait staff were allowed to wear ripped and hole filled jeans. Not very professional looking. We went to the Casino instead for dessert and got the best service! We will be investing in a different company now, and our dining out will be at the Casino, where the staff are always attentive towards all their tables, regardless of how busy they are (which, btw, they had less serving staff than Coulee and far more tables to serve, look clean and hygienic, not to mention professional. This is the 2nd time I have been to Coulee and left feeling ripped off and ignored by staff. So much for giving them a second chance.

Had a great time here, staff super friendly and the facilities are very nice. Food was delicious, I got a flight to try 4 beers, I only liked 1 but that's the joy of getting flights you get to try lots of different beers and you don't have a big glass of it. Vibe was super cool. I definitely recommend stopping by for a beer and eating some food! My burger was so good I forgot to take a picture and destroyed that burger. 😂 🍔

The food was absolutely disgusting. The house made "beer cheese sauce" consisted of either Cheese Whiz or Velveeta that began hardening in front of our eyes. The pretzel bites were what seemed to be under-cooked Pillsbury dough with some garlic salt; which were also served with the elegant "beer cheese sauce." I do appreciate the atmosphere that the owners are going for, however the menu needs a complete overhaul and the quality of preparation must change. I did enjoy the beer... So, for now folks, stick with the drink menu.

One of the trendiest craft breweries in all of Alberta!
From the open window brew rooms, the rustic vibe, large screen tv’s - all the way to the merch section and menu, we were smitten.
Being here felt like being back home in Ontario, where there are 3 times as many breweries. I cannot recommend Coulee Tap Room enough.

I placed an order for some kids meals and an adult meal as we were staying at one of the hotels close by. I looked at the menus they had online and ordered 2 kids fish n chips, kids chicken fingers and a entree salad. When I arrived to pick up the order, they proceeded to charge me for 2 adult fish n chips instead of the kids version. They explained that there was no kids fish n chips(even though it was on the kids menu). I said I would take one of the adult sized fish n chips, I didn't need 2 full sized orders. I paid for everything, went to my hotel room, only to find that the fish n chips was a KIDS sized portion, even though I paid full price. I was shocked. After a long day of travelling, I didn't want to return to argue with the 2 waitresses.
The whole meal was not good. The salad I ordered was brown. And their supposed homemade fries.....not homemade as you can see in the picture. These 2 meals, are exactly the same portion , but I paid $19 for one and $9 for the other......which actually on their website says the kids meals are $7. Not impressed, don't recommend this place at all.

Great place just off Hwy 3, and worth a visit! So cool that they are reviving Canadian brew, but the menu is classic American. It would be neat if they incorporated more Canadian style food as well. Bonus: they have a free phone charging station!

The new fried chicken open face sandwich was excellent and a generous portion! I appreciate any Caesar salad with REAL bacon bits. My only comment is that an open face sandwich like this that requires a knife and fork to eat, shouldn’t been served on a sheet of paper over a tin dish. The paper didn’t take long to tear through and get soggy from the sauce and I wonder how much paper I ingested. Servers were friendly and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Nice to eat somewhere that isn’t a chain when traveling and staying in hotels. Will return when I am back in town.
