The One Mesmerizing Place In Montana To See The Northern Lights

Stargazing is a favorite pastime of every Montanan, especially when the Milky Way and the Northern Lights are clearly visible. And while you’ll be able to see the beautiful Northern Lights from plenty of places in the Treasure State, it should come as no surprise that the absolutely best views will be from Glacier National Park, Montana’s crown jewel.

Montana is called “Big Sky Country” in part because of the wide open spaces at Glacier.

“Big Sky” means plenty of room for stars to shine… and they do.

Many people think the Northern Lights can only be seen from Canada and Alaska, but occasionally, Montanans get lucky.
