Glacier National Park
More than 4,000 square kilometres of northwestern Montana on the Canadian border, taking in parts of two mountain ranges and more than 130 named lakes. It sits at the heart of the region called the Crown of the Continent, and the Going-to-the-Sun Road climbs across it over Logan Pass.

Near Glacier National Park
Grand Prismatic Spring 522 km
The largest hot spring in Yellowstone and the third largest in the world, in the Midway Geyser Basin. Its deep blue centre is ringed by bands of orange, yellow and green made by heat loving microbes, colours best seen from the hillside trail above.
Yellowstone National Park 526 km
The first national park in the world, mostly in the northwest corner of Wyoming with edges reaching into Montana and Idaho. It is known for its geysers and hot springs, Old Faithful above all, and for herds of bison and elk across a landscape that is mostly subalpine forest.
Old Faithful 529 km
A cone geyser in Yellowstone, named in 1870 and the first in the park to be given a name. It erupts on average about every 92 minutes, regular enough that crowds gather on the benches around it to wait, with the great log inn of the same name close by.
Grand Teton National Park 597 km
The sharp peaks of the Teton Range rise straight out of the valley of Jackson Hole here, with no foothills in between. The park lies about 16 km south of Yellowstone, and together with the forests around them they form one of the largest intact temperate ecosystems on Earth.
Mount Rainier National Park 630 km
A park built around a 4,391 metre volcano, the highest peak in the Cascade Range, set up in 1899 as the fourth national park in the United States. More than 25 glaciers spill down its flanks above subalpine meadows, waterfalls and old growth forest.
Pike Place Market 646 km
A public market above Elliott Bay on the edge of downtown Seattle, open since 17 August 1907 and among the oldest continuously running farmers' markets in the country. Farmers, craftspeople and fishmongers fill its arcades, where the fish sellers famously throw salmon across the counter.
Space Needle 646 km
An observation tower built for the 1962 World's Fair at Seattle Center, its saucer top standing 184 metres above the ground. From the top it looks out over Elliott Bay, the downtown towers and, on a clear day, Mount Rainier.
Chihuly Garden and Glass 646 km
An exhibition of the studio glass of Dale Chihuly at Seattle Center, right beside the Space Needle, opened in 2012. Huge glass works fill its galleries and a tall glasshouse, and more are planted among the flowers of its garden.
