City advice
What to pack
Buy Groceries in Bellingham!
Before you get to Glacier, plan your route. Be sure to stop at a major town such as Bellingham to stock up on Groceries. There are only local corner stores with bare essentials along Mt Baker Hwy.
Travelling with kids
Bring Swim Suits and Sleds!
There are no local stores to sell you swim attire or snow sleds. Be sure to pack what you need for the adventure you plan to have.
Book before you go
No Cell Phone Service!
In Glacier, there is no cell phone service. The last cell phone service is in Maple Falls or up top Mt Baker Ski Area - they have their own cell tower.
If you need Internet access, stop at Chair 9 Restaurant just before Snowater. They offer Wi-Fi.
Don't miss
Very limited Wi-Fi
Glacier is at the end of the road. Wi-Fi service here is very poor and limited. Do not plan to work or attend school while at Snowater. The connection drops easily.
