July 24th, 2008: In addition to the hikes, a short stop at the Wild Goose Island Overlook is allegedly "all but mandatory". Again, our day was a bit overcast and therefore, limited the visual effect, but it is a quiet, easily accessible location. But, the view across Lake MacDonald is at least as nice.
If your timing is correct, you need to stop at the Park Cafe about 100yards north of St. Mary's on the east side of the park. The homemade pies are incredible, but limited each day. It gets crowded so don't show up at 6pm and expect to be seated quickly. If you do wait, it is worth it.
South Glacier NP...Over the GTTS Road and then south of Glacier NP the likelihood of seeing wildlife is very high. The goats at the 'Goat Lick' on the southwest corner of the park are plentiful, but blend well with the rocks so you need to look carefully. Generally other people in the area have scoped out the animals and willingly point them out. If you want the up close and personal view, this isn't the place.
