What is Many Glacier Valley?
The Many Glacier Valley is an area within Glacier National Park. It is also known as the Swiftcurrent Valley. It was named by George Bird Grinnell, the former editor of Forest & Stream Magazine (now called Field & Stream) in order to make it sound exotic and Native American in origin. The Many Glacier area encompasses several valleys that meet together in the main Swiftcurrent Valley. There are several glaciers within the Many Glacier Area including the popular Grinnell Glacier, Swiftcurrent Glacier, and the small Gem Glacier. A popular destination in Many Glacier is the Many Glacier Hotel, a historic lodge in the park built by the Great Northern Railroad around 1916. There is also the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn and a campground. Some popular hiking destinations in the valley are Cracker Lake, Iceberg Lake, Ptarmigan Tunnel, Swiftcurrent Pass, Redrock Falls, Grinnell Lake, and Grinnell Glacier. Many Glacier is an excellent place to view grizzly bears, black bears, and moose, among the other diverse wildlife in the park.
