In the 1920s, tourists arriving at East Glacier depot saw glaciated peaks beyond their first night's lodging, a hotel that seemed like their last taste of civilization before horseback travel into the primitive backcountry of Glacier National Park. Yet the hotel belonged to a network of chalets built a day's ride apart. From there, guests trailrode to Two Medicine and Cut Bank Chalets, and some crossed the entire park, spending each night in relative comfort before reboarding at Belton Depot in West Glacier.
