Cracker Lake Wilderness Campsite sits at the far end of a roughly 12-mile round-trip hike from the Many Glacier Hotel trailhead in Glacier National Park. Three tent pads overlook the vivid turquoise glacially-fed lake, with a vault toilet and communal food-hang poles for bear-safe food storage. A wilderness use permit is required year-round; advance reservations open each March on Recreation.gov for the summer season. Camping fees of $7 per person per night apply May through October, along with a $10 non-refundable permit application fee. Winter visits (November through April) require a free permit and are subject to significant snow and avalanche hazards.
Per person, per night. A separate $10 non-refundable permit application fee also applies May-October.
