Getting Here and Getting Around
The Great Northern Resort is a 35 minute drive from Glacier International Airport in Kalispell, MT. We highly recommend you have a car during your time in West Glacier. If you don’t have a car, we highly recommend making friends or bringing a friend who does have a car to take you to the grocery store or to the many hikes and activities in the area.
There is very limited public transportation inside the park and taxis or Ubers can get quite expensive and aren’t established in our area yet. Major grocery stores are a 15-20 minute drive away and big box stores are a 40 minute drive. Having a car will give you the freedom and the flexibility to get around and enjoy everything our beautiful state offers.
If you are flying, Glacier International Airport is only about 20 miles away and we can arrange to pick you up if need be.
