Immerse yourself in the snow-capped peaks, endless wildlife, and great scenic rides on this bike tour through Glacier National Park.

Visit one of Mother Nature's most prized possessions, crammed end-to-end with snow-capped peaks, blue skies, moose, bears, mountain goats, evergreens and inspiration. As you ride the smooth pavement of Going-to-the-Sun Road, your soundtrack will include the echo of Bird Woman Falls and the vast silences of the hinterland. And as you turn in for the evening, your lullaby will be a sea of stars, crystal clear and glittering. We'll also spend a few days in the vibrant western town of Whitefish, riding through the Flathead Valley, surrounded by protected lands, and nestled square in the middle of nowhere. What are you waiting for? There's no better time to visit this wild and wonderful wilderness!

What Guests are Saying

It was the adventure of a lifetime—a perfect week! Riding Going To The Sun Road was one of the best days of my life--awe inspiring and spectacular. The people were terrific—I didn't know a single person before the trip, and went home with 19 new friends.

Lake McDonald swim in Glacier National Park

By far the BEST trip I have taken! I am an average level biker and felt challenged enough on this trip but not so much that I didn't enjoy myself. If you are considering going, don't hesitate!

Sara, Trek Travel Guest

What a great trip! Enough cycling to keep you satisfied without feeling like a ride camp. Great guides, routes, and the scenery is stunning! The group camaraderie was also extremely enjoyable, positive, and supportive. Glacier National Park is a gem!
