This is a lakeside view of Many Glacier Hotel. From the hotel, tourists could take day rides to many lakes, mountains, and glaciers, some of which we’ll see on postcards tomorrow.

Some adventurous tourists went to Granite Park Chalet, which was about 8.5 miles from Many Glacier and even today is only accessible by trail. Another trail-only lodging, Sperry Chalet, was burned in a 2017 wildfire, but is being rebuilt. However, you can visit and stay at Granite Park Chalet this summer.
