From Apgar, we drove further up the road to Lake McDonald Lodge. These late 1800/early 1900 National Park Lodges are truly unique. The goal was to lure people away from European travel and to the parks right here in the States and so the lodges were the epitome of luxury. Lake McDonald Lodge was given a Swiss Alpine feel so that European guests would feel right at home and American guests would get a glimpse of Europe without leaving the country.
