Two Medicine Campstore

Glacier National Park


While the Two Medicine Valley has no standard restaurants, you can forgo alfresco campground cooking and chow down on excellent chili, soups and sandwiches, at this historic building-cum-grocery-store and gift shop that once served as a dining hall for the erstwhile Two Medicine Chalets. Your can also grab coffee, ice cream and ingredients to make up a decent picnic.

President FD Roosevelt, accompanied by John D Rockefeller Jr, chose to give one of his famous ‘fireside chats’ here in the 1930s.
