Glacier National Park -Closest Grocery Store -St Marys Cgrnd

Take enough for the first day and then take a ride through the park. Go through west glacier and go to Columbia falls. Several grocery stors there to fill up and the a nice drive back through the pass. If you want to go further Kalispell has it all.

There is a small grocery store in St Mary. It was not a bad size and has just about everything you could ever need. Needless to say not many of any one item but it helped us out. Yes it is more expensive but one understands why. It is located on the south side of the road where it turns off to Glacier. Around the corner from the lodge

There is a grocery in St. Marys if you do not need a lot. If you do it is worth the trip to Browning. There is a Teeples IGA with better prices. After we shopped there last year we were told there was a bigger chain market down the road, but I am not sure which chain.

better to just bring canned foods and whatever else is allowed and keep your menus simple. Browning is a little bigger than St. Mary, but not that much.

OK Foods into US
Not these it seems: travelers from Canada should avoid bringing raw potatoes with them into the U.S.

But: Food products from Canada, including pet food and fresh (frozen or chilled), cooked, canned or otherwise processed products containing beef, veal, bison, and cervid (e.g. deer, elk, moose, caribou etc.) are now permitted from Canada in passenger baggage. Products containing sheep, lamb, or goat will not be allowed entry.

The passenger must provide proof of the origin of beef, pork, poultry, cervid meat, and pet food in order to bring them into the United States. Examples of proof of origin include the grocery store receipt where the product was purchased or the label on the product indicating the province in which it was packaged.

The following are generally admissible:

-Olive oil and other vegetable oils

-Bread, cookies, crackers, cakes, granola bars, cereal and other baked and processed products

Feta cheese, Brie, Camembert, cheese in brine, Mozzarella and Buffalo Mozzarella are permissible (USDA Animal Product Manual, Table 3-14-6). Cheese in liquid (such as cottage cheese or ricotta cheese) and cheese that pours like heavy cream are not admissible from countries affected by foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).

In '97, after returning to US from a trip into Canada via Waterton. We drove from the St. Mary's CG to Kalispell & found a Walmart just as we got into town. Not sure if we went for supplies or just went for a drive. We used the Going to the Sun Highway going & returning. But it was about a 75 miles or so drive oneway. Ha!

Earlier, we had gotten supplies in Calgary at a Walmart.

If I recall right there is a small store in St Mary's greatly overpriced of course.

According to google maps:
