Glacier & Waterton: An International Treasure

Limited to 12 Travelers / 10 Travelers on Photo Departures Divided into Two Vehicles with Two Expedition Leaders
A very important feature of our Glacier National Park tour is the limited group size, as fewer travelers make for more intimate and authentic nature and wildlife encounters.

Moderate 
This adventure does not require a particularly high degree of physical fitness, and included hikes are easy to moderate in terms of physical exertion. However, please be aware that hiking is the main activity on this trip, with two or three excursions per day taking place at an altitude of 4,000-7,000 feet above sea level. In order to participate, travelers should be able to walk unassisted for at least three miles over rough terrain and inclines, with some gain in altitude (no more than 600 feet) required in certain locations. Our days generally start quite early and are very full with activities, including a few long drives. Note that all hikes/activities are completely optional, and travelers should only participate in those activities in which they feel comfortable. While travelers are not required to participate in all activities, should you opt out of the day’s scheduled activities, we cannot always guarantee that alternatives will be available. Those travelers who would like to take longer or more strenuous hikes may have opportunities to do so at their leisure.

This exhilarating adventure explores one of North America’s most magnificent natural areas, exploring readily accessible parts of Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes that are nonetheless often missed by the casual tourist—with views that are typically enjoyed only by hardy backcountry hikers! It sometimes happens that we cannot book specific dates with the national park hotels until August, for the following year. Trip dates listed are thus likely to change slightly and will be confirmed at that time. Depending upon availability, itineraries may run in a different order.

We recommend that you arrive in Kalispell by 4 pm on Day 1 in order to join your group orientation at the hotel at 5 pm. You are free to depart any time after 12 pm on the final day.
