As the sun dips behind Glacier National Park’s jagged peaks, the still waters shimmer with hues of gold and amber, inviting paddlers to a unique perspective that blends stillness and motion. Renting a clear kayak here means slipping into a vessel that turns the usual watercraft into a transparent window to the lake’s secrets below. The water dares you to notice the dance of tiny fish alongside submerged logs, the gently waving aquatic plants, and the shifting shadows of clouds overhead.
