Glacier National Park - Montana

There are amazing trail views to be enjoyed by those visiting the Huckleberry Mountain Lookout in Montana's Glacier National Park. Named after the huckleberries scattered along the trail during the warmer months, the area is also abundant with wildlife. This can be both a blessing and a curse, as the Lookout trail is home to a number of bears attracted by the berries. When hiking in this area, it's essential to bring bear spray to discourage any interactions with the animals.

The national park may close the trails on some days if bear encounters are deemed highly likely, but visitors still need to exercise caution. Allegedly, there's a bear within each mile radius of the grounds.
