As a Montana local, I think taking a ferry to Wild Horse Island State Park is one of the best things to do near Glacier National Park. Danita Delimont/Shutterstock 2025-03-20T18:18:05Z ...

I grew up in Kalispell, Montana, about 40 minutes from the west entrance of Glacier National Park. After visiting the park, I recommend visiting Flathead Lake or Whitefish Mountain Resort.
