It is positioned in the Blackfeet Indian Reservation neighboring the eastern entrance of the ‘Switzerland of North America,’ the Glacier National Park. The native population of East Glacier Park is below half a thousand and almost everyone over here lives directly, or indirectly, on tourism.
Standing at East Glacier Park and looking towards the west, you will find the snowcapped peaks of Red Crow Mountain, Dancing Lady Mountain, Bearhead Mountain, Never Laughs Mountain, and Mount Henry, all piled up together. The sun inclining down and gradually hiding behind them is a scene you won’t ever be able to forget!
A good number of lakes, streams, and waterfalls in the surrounding area will also fascinate your eyes. You might also become introduced to any of the wild dwellers of the region, such as bighorn sheep, mountain goat, elk, grizzly, and the black bear.
