Be the penguin 🙂‍↕️ Why choose mountain Be the penguin 🙂‍↕️ 

Why choose mountains? The mountains give us so much to be grateful for, from river scenery to challenging peaks that provide purpose, escape, and refuge. We can’t wait to be back in the mountains of Glacier National Park in just a few short months 🎉
For your Backpacking Adventure this Summer, person For your Backpacking Adventure this Summer, personalize your experience and send us your itinerary within a week to Plan Your Private 2026 Backcountry Adventure! 

A private, custom-guided backpacking trip in Glacier National Park is the perfect choice for hikers who want something tailored to their style, whether that means shorter daily mileage, porters to carry gear, extra layover days, or a specific route you’ve been dreaming about.

Reserve now at 406-387-5555 to design your own trip with flexible dates and itineraries.

Starting in mid-February, we’ll also have a selection of set dates and routes for private trips. If there’s a particular itinerary you’re eyeing, let us know and we’ll check availability.

Some of our guests simply prefer to explore the backcountry with only family and friends, and we completely understand. (Although we have to admit, since 1983 we’ve loved watching strangers become lifelong friends on our regularly scheduled group trips!) But if you’re feeling like you’ve already got your adventure crew, a private trip is the way to go. We can’t wait to bring your vision to life with our wonderful and talented guide team!!
