One of summer's pleasures at Glacier National Park is a lazy canoe paddle across Swiftcurrent Lake. Glacier is home to some spectacular mountain lakes, and park concessioners offer boat trips on several of them. You can also bring your own canoe, kayak or small power boat for use in the park.
"Wilderness Threshold" by J. Craig Thorpe, shows Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder slowing for the stop at East Glacier Park. The historic rail station, lodge and Red bus all invite the travelers to extend the experience of community begun on the train as they visit the park. 18”x24” oil on canvas, commissioned by Amtrak in 2000, used with permission of the artist.
