Rugged Scenery. Unmatched Wildlife Encounters.

by zrim - last update: Feb 8, 2003

These are the animals I saw at Glacier:

Green winged teal; dozens of eagles; deer (including a nursing fawn in the wild); mountain goats; big fat marmots; merganser; orange crowned warbler; big horn sheep; several grizzly bears; many black bear including a mother and her cub; pine sisken; grossbeak; Clark's nutcracker; pika; ground squirrels; snakes; magpies; and the pesky open range cattle.

There are also bison and elk on the premises and birds too numerous to mention.

 Wow! I'm impressed with the amount of wildlife you saw at Glacier NP. We also saw a lot on our trip, but you've topped our list. Beautiful photos.

 Your hotel tip made me chuckle! Excellent photos as always Phil, and very useful information too. My wife & I are considering this in July while in Alberta for 3 weeks this summer. Thanks.

 Excellent tips and photos.This page brings back memories. Yes, Montana is great for wildlife, especially bear-watching, from a safe distance when they are eating berries on the lower slopes. I hiked up to see those Bighorn Mountain Sheep too.
