Additional Arrival Information
We recommend flying directly into Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) in Kalispell. We suggest that you arrive at least one day prior to the start of your Glacier National Park bike tour, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays. If you are staying at The Firebrand Hotel or The Lodge at Whitefish Lake before the trip begins, you may reserve a seat on their free airport shuttle by calling 406-863-4000 for The Lodge or 406-863-1900 for The Firebrand. Reservations must be made at least 72-hours in advance. Otherwise, we recommend that you ask your pre-night hotel if they have an airport shuttle or arrange a taxi in advance. See the Ground Transportation page on Glacier Park Airport's website at www.iflyglacier.com for the most current list of taxi services. The drive from the airport to Whitefish takes about 20-30 minutes.
Whitefish is also served by an Amtrak station where the Empire Builder train stops twice daily en route between Chicago and Seattle.
Your Trek Travel guides will meet you at The Lodge at Whitefish Lake (1380 Wisconsin Ave, Whitefish, MT 59937) at 8:00 AM on the first day of the trip. After a two and a half hour shuttle, we’ll arrive at Two Medicine Lake. After a hearty picnic and bike-fitting session, we'll set off on our first ride through the Last Best Place on Earth! Feel free to dress comfortably for the shuttle and pack your cycling gear in a separate, easily accessible bag. You will have time to change after the picnic.
If you will be late for the pick-up or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your guides. If you cannot reach them, please call our first hotel, Saint Mary Lodge and Resort (406-732-4431) and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details. There are no scheduled shuttle services to Saint Mary, and while you may be able to hire a taxi, please be warned that the cost involved would be significant. We strongly recommend that you arrive in Whitefish the night before the trip starts to ensure that you do not miss our Trek Travel shuttle.
