Love is in the air, or perhaps it’s just the crisp mountain breeze blowing through Glacier National Park. Either way, it’s official: our beloved Big Sky gem made its way on the list of the top 21 most romantic getaways in the US! Yup, Glacier is now rolling with iconic addresses like Napa Valley, Aspen, and the Florida Keys.

Why Glacier National Park?

Montana may not spark the same romantic fantasies as the streets of Paris, but believe me when I say that Glacier is the ultimate destination for couples that crave adventure, dramatic views, and some peace and quiet. With a million-plus acres of pristine wilderness, bask alone in waters as clear as glass, walk hand-in-hand down wildflower-dotted meadows, or curl up in a cabin with views so gorgeous that they’ll literally take your breath away.

Let's face it, Going-to-the-Sun Road is basically Mother Nature's love letter. And if you want to go the extra mile, watch the sunrise at Lake McDonald. It’s like walking into a painting, but better. Extra points if you pack a thermos of hot coffee or cocoa.

How Glacier Compares With Other Romantic Hot Spots

According to timeout.com, Glacier National Park joins the top 21 list alongside some rather dreamy destinations, such as:

  • Napa Valley, CA
  • Aspen, Colorado
  • The Florida Keys
  • Charleston, S.C.

So what is the deal with Glacier? What would make it stand out? Napa has its wine and Aspen the ski slopes, but Glacier dishes out something even rarer: untamed, wild beauty. No five-star hotels, just five-star views.

Create an Ideal Romantic Getaway

Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a honeymoon or simply sneaking away for a little quality time, Glacier National Park is a romance jackpot.

So, my fellow Montanans, if you’re seeking a romantic getaway that won’t break the bank and a little closer to home, take a tip from the experts: Glacier is where love (and potentially a grizzly sighting) is in the air.
