Glacier National Park Scavenger Hunt

Description

Heading to Glacier National Park with kids? One sure way to keep your young adventurers engaged is to take a copy of our Glacier National Park Scavenger Hunt! The whole family can be on the lookout for iconic landmarks like Bearhat Mountain, Lake McDonald and its colorful rocks, St Mary Falls, and Avalanche Lake. Stay alert as you seek out local wildlife found throughout the park, including majestic big horn sheep, nimble mountain goats, and occasional black bears. (Don’t forget to pick up some bear spray!)

Enjoy the lush mountain landscape as you look for towering spruce trees, bountiful huckleberry bushes, hollow logs, and uniquely textured tree bark. Depending on your child(ren)’s stamina, some great kid-friendly hikes in Glacier National Park include: Trail of the Cedars (easy, accessible 0.8 mile loop trail), Hidden Lake Overlook (1.5 miles one-way to Hidden Lake | 3 miles round trip), Avalanche Lake (4.5 miles round trip), Swiftcurrent Nature Trail (easy 2.3 mile loop trail), and St. Mary Falls and Virginia Falls (3.6 miles round trip | goes to two picturesque waterfalls).

With a mix of iconic landmarks, fascinating wildlife, and vibrant flora to uncover, our Glacier Scavenger Hunt for kids is the perfect way to enhance your visit to one of America’s most stunning national parks.

We encourage you to embrace a tech-free experience with our printable scavenger hunt. However, if you’re already at the park, lack access to a printer, or simply want to save paper and ink, you can conveniently retrieve the scavenger hunt on your phone or tablet and electronically check off items as you discover them. If using the printable scavenger hunt, don’t forget a pen or marker, and consider bringing along a clipboard to hold the paper for easy checking.
