Glacier National Park
The majestic Northern Rockies represent some of the grandest and most impressive terrain to be found anywhere in North America.
The mountains’ massive fortress walls plunge down ravines and waterfalls into emerald lakes and pristine forests. Moose and elk wander the marshes and river valleys where grizzlies hunt for salmon. A trip into the remote, rugged mountains of Montana and the Canadian Rockies is a trip through time and into a fierce, stunning landscape that continues to awe visitors as it has for millenia.
Your Moterra campervan awaits you just five minutes away from Glacier International Airport and has everything you need for this spectacular adventure into the Crown of the Continent. From mid June through to September the roads will typically be clear of snow, spectacular wildflowers will be on display, and wildlife spotting will be plentiful. Moterra’s luxury Mercedes Sprinters are the perfect way to explore Glacier National Park’s 1,489 square miles of wilderness or the 12,000 square kilometers of Canadian National Parkland just north of the border. Don’t forget your passport!

There aren’t many places on Earth more visually-arresting or inspiring than Glacier National Park. Bighorn sheep perch on cliffs, waterfalls cascade off snow-capped peaks, and pristine stands of Red Cedar and Fir lend their shade to 740 miles of hiking trails. Scramble up Triple Divide peak, whose steep sides direct flows of water into three different bodies of water, then follow the setting sun up and over the Continental Divide, winding your way over the historic Going-To-The-Sun Road. Between the natural splendor and the picturesque harmony of the park’s historic lodges, this place is a must-see national treasure.

Canada’s oldest national park and undeniably one of its most impressive, Banff National Park is just one of the reasons to range North on Alberta’s iconic Highway 93. Each winter, heavy snows blanket the slopes and granite precipices of soaring peaks, melting in the spring through couloirs and glaciers into the glimmering emerald lakes resting at the mountains’ foot. From Canmore to Banff and Lake Louise, adventures abound in the Canadian Rockies. Pack those passports – you won’t want to miss this.

Driving out into Canada’s vast wilderness it can be hard to resist the impulse to push always a bit farther, a bit higher. The vast and pristine wild lands extend far from our borders, mountains, valleys, and glaciers rippling and curling north to the edge of the continent. Drive your van North to the incredible Jasper National Park, where mountains climb into the sky, reflected in the clear smooth mirrors of the alpine lakes or journey West to British Columbia and Canada’s Glacier National Park.
