![]() ![]() Some of the ceremony locations require a bit of hiking, and a few of them are extremely popular. These are in place to protect the park and it’s flora and fauna, as well as the experience of the other park guests, and these are great questions to ask a Park Ranger when you ask about your permit! The playing of instruments and amplified sound are also on the restricted list. Some of the common restrictions in Glacier National Park are the types of props/decor that can be used, typically dogs aren’t allowed along the lakeshores and waterways, or in the backcountry, throwing rice/birdseed/other non-native seeds aren’t permitted, among others. You certainly wouldn’t want to be fined or asked to leave on your wedding day because of a permit that wasn’t acquired. Some people choose to forgo the permit, simply winging it or risking it, but I strongly advise applying for the permit. Glacier is a popular place to elope, so the earlier you’re able to turn in your elopement permit, the better. In my personal opinion, the most stunning backdrops are Two Medicine Lake, Running Eagle Falls, Sun Point, Sprague Creek Picnic Area, Lake Josephine lakeshore, and spots along Lake McDonald. In Glacier, there are a number of preapproved ceremony sites, and a gallery of images can be viewed here. The rangers are typically easy to get ahold of to ask questions about the permits, approved ceremony locations, approved props/decor, etc. The permit must be returned to the park within 10 business days prior to your event or the permit may be cancelled. Glacier National Park asks that the address you use on the application is a reliable place for you to receive mail because when your request is approved a Special Use Permit will be mailed to you for signature. Glacier recommends contacting their Special Park Use office before submitting your application and fee to make sure your date is available. The permit itself is $100, and the application for the permit can be found here. To elope in Glacier National Park, a special use permit must be secured first. ![]()
