Travelers should bring sturdy winter boots and dress in layers for a variety of winter conditions.

Traveling by train? Please note: West Glacier Train station is located at the bottom of the mountain from the property. This working railroad line runs parallel to Highway 2 in West Glacier. A slight rumbling can be felt in the house when a train passes by. The trains do not blow a horn when they pass through the area since West Glacier does not have an intersecting road with the trains. The history of Glacier is based on these rail lines and is an interictal part of the location.

Ring Security camera with motion lights is located on the porch next to the front door.
