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!

The entire experience is exceptional. Support on the road was great and as always as a guest the only thing you need to think about is turning the pedals, enjoying good company and drinking and eating.

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!
