Resort at Glacier National Park Offers Discounts

THURSDAY, 30 AUGUST 2007

It’s not too late this year to visit the spectacular Glacier National Park in Montana.

Though some park facilities begin shutting down in September, it’s an excellent month to experience a less-crowded park and the colorful early autumn scenery, the National Park Service says on its Glacier website (www.nps.gov/glac). Also, the park service reports that park roads and services have not been affected by this summer’s Montana wildfires.

St. Mary Lodge and Resort on Going-to-the-Sun Road at the park’s eastern entrance is an excellent home base from which to experience Glacier’s majestic mountains and sweeping valleys. In September, the resort is offering discount packages and several unique ways to experience the park:

Hiker’s special – one night and two box lunches for hiking ($155).
Geocaching – two nights with everything needed for the new adventure hiking game: a hand-held global positioning system (GPS), box lunches, disposable digital camera, and backpacks ($425 based on double occupancy).
Bed and Breakfast special – one night and a $25 breakfast voucher ($190).
Romance in the Rockies – couples get one night in a suite with fireplace and hot tub, bottle of St. Mary’s signature Merlot wine, two complimentary signature wine glasses and a dessert tray ($300).
Huckleberry Hideaway – a night to yourself in the secluded Sun Cabin, which offers great view of the park, along with any two huckleberry drinks or desserts ($250).

Please note that prices are dependent on level of accommodations. For more information, please visit www.stmarylodgeandresort.com or call 866-720-2481.
