Located halfway between East Glacier Park and West Glacier is Essex and the Izaak Walton Inn.
Their on-site restaurant has become one of my favorite places for dinner in the region.
Afterward, sit on the patio outside and watch the trains roll past.

Fine dining is only a short walk from GN 441, in the Izaak Walton Inn’s Dining Car Restaurant.
Friendly service and delicious meals await you breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Many entrees carry a “Montana signature,” featuring wild huckleberries, top-notch beef,
quality buffalo meats, rocky mountain elk, or rainbow trout (above).

GOAT LICK OVERLOOK
In the south end of Glacier National Park, just east of Essex, lies a mineral deposit that the
mountain goats find particularly delicious in the spring. While driving along Highway 2
near Essex, MT, look for the sign for the Goat Lick and pull into the parking lot. The best time
to see the goats is in the spring and you may even be rewarded by elk or other wildlife
(but more likely if you come at dusk).
