Apgar Loop Road / Lake View Drive
Glacier National Park - Apgar Village, MT , 59936-0000 Phone: (406) 888-5232 Website How did they build a shop around those old-growth trees? It’s the largest gift shop in Glacier National Park. It’s got tasty ice cream and steaming cappuccinos. There’s a Press-a-Penny. The selection of locally-made artisan gifts is impressive. But the most amazing thing about the Cedar Tree Gift Shop has to be the cedar trees growing in the middle of it!
The shop was built around two old-growth trees in the heart of quaint Apgar Village nestled on Lake McDonald on the west side of Glacier. This area marks the eastern limits of Western red cedars in the United States. The trees standing inside the gift shop survived the great fires of 1910, also known as the “Big Burn”, and are hundreds of years old.
They have Penny Books on top of the Machine, and on the shelf. They are Navy blue, with ''Penny Collection Travel Album'' in gold letters, and a picture of a bald eagle surrounded by stars, holding arrows and an olive branch in its talons, on top of The American Shield, with a sash that reads ''Souvenir Penny Collection Album. They are $3.99 each, and are also available at West Glacier Gifts in West Glacier.
Apgar is the starting point for "Going to the Sun Road", the scenic route through the park and is worth the trip.
