Glacier-Waterton National Park

More and more people are discovering the attractions of Glacier/Waterton in the winter. While the high country is virtually inaccessible and Going-to-the-Sun road is closed, the low country valleys are reachable. With less people and less shrub cover, your chance for seeing wildlife is increased. Cross-country skiing and snow shoe trekking are the most popular sports for the active set. But you can also just check into the lodge for some cozy, snowbound solitude. While all of the lodging within Glacier are closed, Izaak Walton Inn, right on the park's edge, remains open. In Waterton, Kilmorey Lodge remains open for winter sport trippers. Read More

My sister (76) and I (66) have a nephew living in Calgary. We plan to go there and visit. We want to visit Glacier Park but it has to be an easy sightseeing tour. Is there a train, bus, or other vehicle that would take us on a sightseeing tour? Which is the warmest month to come and visit? We were thinking about August. Thank you for the upcoming email.
