10 TOP Things to Do in Glacier Country January 2026

Beautiful Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park. #twomedicine #glacier #nationalpark #montana

Our favorite campsite of 2014. The scenery simply can not be beat! That's our RV right in the center. No hookups or internet at this campground, but with views like this we didn't mind at all! #twomedicine #camping #glacier #nationalpark #montana #blue

This photo is a version of one on here. I want to say though that this one spot means more to me then almost any other. I had absolutely no idea what lay at the end of the path I took coming to this spot. There was a small parking area and a wooden boardwalk. A sign just said tree exhibit. I walked about a mile down the trail to find this. It may just look like a pretty steam, rocks, and some plants. It is so much more. The water was a deep sapphire blue, from glacial runoff, the forest almost seemed alive with spring life. Have you ever had a moment where you felt you are in the exact right spot and at the right time? I did. I must have stood there for about a hour. I didn’t want to move. I soaked in the colors; sapphire blue water, emerald green leaves and lichens, the greys of the rocks. There was a smell of fresh growth and earthiness. There was a cool breeze, just enough to let you know that even though it was mid summer, spring was just arriving here. Only one other time in my life had I ever felt this way.
I talked with a ranger who was nearby. He told me this might not be here in 10 years. The glacier that feeds this steam has turned into an ice field. They expect it will be gone within 10 years. The waters will no longer be blue, they will only run after the snow melts in spring. Then the waters will drop down and this stream may be dry during the summer. It hurt, to know that some people may never see this, experience this event. Know what this looked like. The rangers are doing all they can, but one day, this beautiful place will change and this scene will not be here.
