Hiking with your family will give you memories that will last forever. And there is plenty of family friendly hiking in Glacier! With over 734 miles of trails to choose from, there is something for every age and every fitness level.
We offer a wide range of family friendly hiking in Glacier travel options, from day hikes to backpacking and more! Want to go on a multi day hike and see both sides of the park without going backpacking? Check out our van supported Glacier Challenge trip!

Prefer to plan a custom adventure? Those are perfect for families of all ages!
Our guided Glacier National Park hiking trips focus on safety and ecological responsibility. Our guides are highly trained and hold multiple backcountry certifications such as Wilderness First Aid, National Park Service Bear Management, and Leave No Trace backcountry ethics training. You will receive an education about Glacier National Park’s flora, fauna, geology, history, and more while in the care of our guides — who are also highly entertaining! Meet our guides here.
Family Friendly Hiking in Glacier Pro Tip
