Can't afford a full week in Glacier? Try this daylong sampler, a 5.2-mile hike that passes waterfalls and jagged peaks, climbing to an alpine lake pinched in by 3,000-foot walls. TO TRAILHEAD: From the park's Many Glacier Entrance, follow Many Glacier Rd. to Swiftcurrent Lake. Trailhead is N of lake and road.
