How to Get Here
The hostel is located on the western edge of Glacier National Park, 1/4 mile (1/2 kilometer) southeast of the Polebridge Mercantile at the end of Beaver Drive (follow the signs). Taking Camas Creek Road through Glacier Park (except when the park is snowed in during the winter) avoids a rough section of the North Fork Road. The North Fork Road north from Columbia Falls to Polebridge is route 486, a gravel road with sections of pavement. In winter when coming from West Glacier, use Blankenship Bridge Road. It is a good idea to have tire chains with you in winter. Try to arrive during daytime to appreciate the views and to locate the hostel easily.
Transportation to or from the AMTRAK station at West Glacier (Belton) may often
be arranged for $50.00 per trip. Allow for at least a three night stay at the hostel so you are not rushed. This service,
when available, is by reservation only and requires a deposit.
