Not only is it one of the most glaciated mountains in the USA, but it also has a dense Alpine meadow that’s teeming with majestic wildlife. Tourists throng the park for its natural waterfalls and the famous Wonderland Trail. Imagine relaxing in a scenic place such as a cosy wood cabin with nature at your doorstep.
