The Glacier Park Transport Co. is operated in the park under franchise
from the Department of the Interior. Daily stage service in each
direction is maintained between Glacier Park Hotel and St. Mary
Chalets, Many Glacier Hotel and Chalets, Waterton, and Going-to-the-Sun
Chalets, Lake McDonald Hotel, and Belton Station. A daily bus trip is
made from Glacier Park Hotel to Two Medicine Chalets on Two Medicine
Lake, allowing sufficient time at the lake to fish or make the launch
trip. Regular motorbus service is maintained between Glacier Park Hotel
and Belton. On the west side daily bus service is maintained between
Belton, the foot of Lake McDonald, and the Lake McDonald Hotel at the
head of Lake McDonald, and between this hotel and Logan Pass on the
Continental Divide.
The transportation company and launch companies allow each passenger
to carry with him 25 pounds of hand baggage without extra charge, which
is usually sufficient for shorter trips. Trunks are forwarded at
extra expense. Arrangements can be made for caring for trunks left at
entrances during tour of park or rechecking them for passengers who
enter at one side and leave by the other. Storage charges on baggage at
Glacier Park Station and at Belton are waived while tourists are making
park trips.
