Our final trip into Glacier Park was to the Two Medicine area. Two Medicine offers hiking and camping, and another clear blue lake. We stopped to see Running Eagle Falls, accessible by a short walk into the woods and across a small stream.
On the way out we stopped in East Glacier to see historic Glacier Park Lodge. This lodge was built in 1912 by the Great Northern Railroad (GNR) company. GNR financed the building of many hotels and lodges in Glacier Park as part of their "See America First" campaign. East Coast and Midwest travelers were invited to hop on the train and come visit the west, assuring that fine lodging, dining, and travel would be available.
This lodge is best known for the massive Douglas fir pillars used in it's construction.
