    Tips

    Cycling

    As you make your way along the road you will see Lake McDonald. The park's largest lake at nearly 500 feet deep and ten miles long. The towering peaks surrounding the lake tell tales of glaciers sculpting even the most resilient rock. These glaciers not only formed the expansive "u-shaped" valley where Lake McDonald resides but also carved smaller hanging valleys, creating waterfalls accessible via numerous hiking trails.
