Montana received its first major snowstorm during the last weekend of September. Most of the snow fell on the east side of the Glacier National Park, while we got hit with high winds and a dusting of snow. It might be a little early for this, but for us, it just means our favorite time of the year has started! Glacier National Park’s high season ends around mid- to late September. After the crowds leave is the perfect time to enjoy the peacefulness of this beautiful country.
I stepped outside this morning just as it was starting to get light and heard the elk bugling. The air was wintry crisp, still and cold. The photo was taken from inside StepsAway 121 – our newest cabin in West Glacier. We haven’t formally opened it to visitors yet, but is scheduled for next spring. Our other two cabins are available to those who would like to experience GNP at its quietest!
