So close, yet, feels like a great get away. . . love the shops the majestic views and the fun feeling.

This is a great lake to drive along as you have water on one side and mountains on the other , then a large meadow near the end that usually hosts a large herd of elk towards evening. Sunsets can be spectacular.

a wonderful relaxing day and the wind didn't blow for once!we met friends and family for a supper in the park..actually found a place to sit around the fire and relax..or go for a walk..great day.

We hiked up Bears Hump and given as we were all a little past middle aged we found it fairly strenuous but the view from the top was spectacular. Every area of the park is... More

At least best I've seen in 48 states...haven't gotten to western Canada yet, tho. Stayed at the Prince of Wales for a night, and took the boat ride to Goat Haunt, the backpackers customs station at the US (south) end of the lake. Just amazing scenery.
