So, your Glacier National Park visit was everything you hoped it would be. You adventured your way through the Crown of the Continent and made a lifetime's worth of Montana memories. But before you close your suitcase, fill it with gifts for the folks back home — and don't forget a keepsake for yourself.
Nothing says Montana quite like the beloved huckleberry — a tiny, sweet and tart berry that only grows wild in the Pacific Northwest. Stop at the Huckleberry Hut for lotions, lip balms, candies, jams and all your huck must-haves. The only thing better than huckleberry goodies in Glacier is huckleberry goodies at home.
