Lodgepole Gallery & Tipi Village

Glacier National Park


Bed down in one of the tipis set rather majestically on the plains at the Lodgepole Gallery & Tipi Village, a large property 2 miles west of Browning. The owners, Darrell, a Blackfeet member, and his friendly and knowledgeable wife, Angelika, are both talented artists and show their works in the attached gallery. They can help arrange horseback riding trips in the area.

Meals are available for groups only.
