I could write ten blog posts about my adventures at Glacier National Park. My first time in the park was over twenty years ago. Those few days of hiking and exploring were the spark for much of the traveling that has come since. Just when I thought I could not be more impressed by Glacier, I stumbled into Two Medicine.
Two Medicine is found on the east side of the park and on the shore of Two Medicine Lake. We arrived via Highway 2 from West Glacier on our way out of park. Once there, we found a campground, camp store, ice cream, hikes, picnic areas, boat rentals, and views for miles!
5 Ways to Enjoy Two Medicine, Glacier National Park.
1. Browse the Two Medicine Store.
Are you hungry? Do you need hiking or camping supplies? Are you just looking for a nice cup of coffee? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, drop into the store. In addition to having everything you need and then some, enjoy its history and scenery.
2. Have a picnic.
Get your lunch to go and head out to the lake. Skip stones and listen to the waves as you eat.
3. Take a boat ride.
We didn’t have a chance to enjoy this first hand but we heard good reviews by people at the park. The tours were full so we will make a note to reserve a seat next time.
4. Enjoy a hike.
Hikes are easy to come and offer great rewards. Waterfalls as accessible in as little as .3 miles. Full or half day hikes and multi-day backpacking trip options are available as well.
5. Stop by the ranger’s station. Get your National Park Passport stamp!

As a nature lover I think I would love it here – that photo at the top is absolutely stunning!
You would love it!
I wanted to visit Glacier National Park for the longest time! Love how serene the place looks!
Yes, it is beautiful
You had me at skipping stones! And then you backed it up with ice cream! What more could you want when tripping around. That lake looks amazing and I’m sure the hikes would offer up some pretty spectacular views and scenery.
I know this is a big park and several days should be spent exploring it. Two Medicine looks gorgeous. I am a big fan of lakes and this is one is too spectacular to miss!
Yes, Many Glacier is another favorite. They are re-doing the road though so I would recommend going after that project is done!
A picnic at the lake and waterfalls to enjoy – sounds perfect.
I love Glacier but have never been to Two Medicine. That just gives us another reason to return!
That is how I was! I had been there and loved it but never took time to check out this entrance! It was great!
This park looks incredibly beautiful! Lovely photos too, looks like the perfect place to go for a hike!
Is that a bear print? That’s HUGE! Do they live in the area? Would love if you did a post about the hikes in the area too, it’s definitely the kind of place we’d spend a few days exploring.
Yes, we have seen grizzlies at the many glacier park entrance! I will definitely write about hikes – there are so many !
We love Glacier National Park! Only four days in the park but the area is simply gorgeous! So many trails, so many lakes… I remember we spent some time at Two Medicine as well, chilling after a long hike and enjoying some snacks with a view. Real pretty for sure.
I really love the National Parks of the US, they are really national treasures. I have just visited one of them, Yellowstone, and it was an amazing experience. I have read about the wonders of the Glacier National Park and can understand why you can write 10 posts about it. I did not know about the two Medicine lake, it looks so beautiful and a great place for a family picnic in the lap of nature. Very nice hiking trail too.
Thanks for you comment! You would love glacier!
I am fascinated by US National Parks as one can camp and hike! Indian National Parks are only for Wildlife safaris and oh what I would give to have an experience like yours. It looks lovely.
Yes, our parks are really special!
Hiking in Mount Glacier National Park looks incredible! But the fact you have bears freaks me out. I would always be terrified I’d turn a corner into one haha
This place looks incredible for a nature lover like me!
Glacier National Park looks so beautiful and the perfect escape to nature. I would love hiking and just relaxing as it seems so peaceful.
