Need recommendations for Glacier National Park

Any recommendations for things to see/do in and around Glacier National Park? Staying in east Glacier for a week. Anybody have any hiking trail recommendations?
We plan on doing Highline, Grinnell Glacier via boat, Iceberg Lake. Last day at Whitefish (may visit Great Northern Brewery) Open to suggestions as I've never been in this part of the country before

All that is good. Hit the Ptarmigan tunnel while you are on the trail to iceberg lake. It will add 5 miles to trip.
You can go to waterton park in Canada and take the boat ride. It was the best boat trip we took there.
The boat on Two Medicine lake broke down on us. We were washed on the rocks for two hours. That was a fun day
Glacier Cafe by St Mary is a good place to eat.
Carry bear spray and be alert for bears and moose.

My sister in law and her husband own cabins in Glacier if anyone is interested in a place to stay in the future.

There's a trail that you should hike called "the loop" that takes you around to a lot of the glaciers. I highly recommend it.
also check out:
swiftcurrent pass
piegean pass
ptarmigan tunnel
I'd also recommend bringing a road bike or mountain bike. I wish I had. You see a lot more that way.

I haven't been there since I was like 13, so I really can't help too much. But it is absolutely gorgeous.
Don't hesitate to go into Canada too.

Whitefish is awesome. The brewery is great. Sit on the balcony upstairs. Good people watching. Good BBQ place right when you get into town.
Saw a wolverine and bear on the Highline Trail a few years ago. Get to Logan Pass parking lot next to Highline Trail early as it fills up quickly and traffic can back up. Also check out the Hidden Lake trail on the backside of the parking lot. It takes you to an awesome lake. Wildlife along the trail as well.
Buy bear spray and yell/sing when coming around corners. Bears are no joke out there especially on the more remote trails.
Do everything as early as possible to avoid traffic and idiot hordes of people

After hiking to Grinnell Glacier, have dinner at the Cattle Baron Supper Club in Babb.
While my memory might be influenced from being tired and hungry after hiking, it's the best steak I've ever had.
