12 Miles from Glacier NP
This is a rest area right off the 2 on the south side of the road. It saved us at 12:30 midnight after a day in Glacier National Park that was intended to be an overnight in one of the park campgrounds. All the campgrounds were closed due to COVID. We caught some shut eye in the car until dawn. There were at least 6 other vehicles — from cars to vans to RVs. It’s not a vacation destination — it’s a bail out when the vacation takes a sharp detour, but the river IS right across the highway and it’s lovely and accessible.
