Hike
in Glacier and Waterton National Parks
Send your senses soaring and your spirits flying! Uncover an untamed
wilderness full of snow-clad peaks, roaring waterfalls, and glacier-carved
valleys in the International Peace Parks. Boasting over 800 miles of
footpaths, Glacier is one of the world's premier hiking destinations.
Designed for the experienced hiker, this tour offers challenging options
for the more intrepid adventurer.
Day 1 Lake McDonald. From Whitefish we shuttle to an introductory
hike to Big Mountain, with sweeping views of the park. Among giant cedars,
spend the evening relaxing in Lake McDonald Lodge.
Day 2 Going-to-the-Sun. Morning starts by crossing Glacier's
renowned Going-to-the-Sun Road and hiking the Highline Trail, a classic
alpine route straddling the Continental Divide. We spend the afternoon
traveling to Canada and the charming hamlet of Waterton.
Days 3-4 Waterton Lakes. Our two-day medley of hikes in Waterton
features wildflowers, waterfall-crowned valleys, and surreal landscapes
of alpine tundra as we hike from Cameron Lake to Carthew Pass. The next
day it's on to beautiful Rowe Lake with magnificent views of Lineham
Ridge.
Days 5-6 Many Glacier Valley. Conclude with two days of naturalist-led
hikes in Many Glacier. Enjoy a close-up look at the ice caves, crevasses
and moraines of Grinnell Glacier. Trek to Ptarmigan Falls and the stunning
cirque containing Iceberg Lake. After a farewell picnic, we return to
Whitefish.
