Glacier National Park has majestic landscapes and many romantic settings, making it an ideal destination for engaged couples. Here are some of the best summer hikes that provide awesome views and enchanting experiences.

When planning for you're hike there are things to keep in mind.
First know what you're getting yourself into. The wilderness is beautiful but can be deadly if you're not prepared. Check the weather and make sure you're prepared for anything. Wearing layers with a waterproof jacket is essential also check in on trail conditions.
You must have bear spray! There are grizzly and black bears, mountain lions and moose that can attack when surprised. In fact any hiking in most of Montana requires bear spray. When you hike make noise, talking, singing or play some music. Surprising wildlife is what you don't want. Do take water, bug spray and comfortable hiking shoes. Of course take your camera, you will see beautiful sights and landscapes.
Reminders for a Romantic Hiking Experience
Plan Ahead: Check trail conditions and the weather before heading out.
Pack a Picnic: Bring along a romantic picnic that's easy to carry in your backpack to enjoy at a gorgeous viewpoint.
Grab the Moment: Don’t forget to take photos of the beautiful scenery.
Stay Hydrated: Bring plenty of water and snacks for energy during the hike.
Leave No Trace: Respect the environment by following Leave No Trace principles.
