Why St. Mary Village?
St. Mary is a tiny mountain village with an enormous backyard. Within minutes you can hike to St. Mary Falls and Virginia Falls, kayak on glacier-fed lakes, spot moose, mountain goats and bighorn sheep, and watch some of the clearest, darkest starry skies in North America. On longer breaks, students often road-trip to Many Glacier, Logan Pass, Yellowstone, or even across the border to Canada’s Banff and Waterton parks.
