Cross Country Skiing
Cross-country skiing is a fun and gentle way of traveling across the winter landscape. With a little practice and patience, you will soon be gliding softly through the woods and meadows making your own tracks or enjoying one of the many groomed trails available in Montana. One of Montana's natural jewels, Glacier National Park, has miles of backcountry trails for cross country skiing. The breathtaking environment of Glacier's one million acres offers peace and serenity, as you will most likely go an entire day without seeing another human being. more info
