  • Lodging Testimonial

    We stayed at this lodge for 2 nights in July 2021. It exceeded my expectations in every way. I was greeted by Don by my name when I stepped out of my car. I introduced my husband, from then on whenever Don saw us – he knew both of our names and used them! The room is spacious and comfortable. The location is excellent. Don was beyond helpful in every way. The breakfast is wonderful and included. It was a variety of things each morning, including huge, homemade muffins. They also have bug spray and suntan lotion for everyone to use. Highly recommend this place.

  • Group Trip Testimonial

    Our Tuesday half-day guided group hike on the Highline Trail at Logan’s Pass was exciting and literally breathtaking. Jen and Ryan were our guides and were excellent. Billed as a “moderate” hike, the 7-mile round trip hike had some steep inclines, but Jen set a steady pace and seemed to know exactly when the group needed a breather. Ryan gave her credit as the creative chef for the excellent lunch Glacier Guides provided. Be sure to follow the company’s recommendation to dress in layers. Our morning started out with rain and a chill in the air, but the skies eventually turned blue and warm. Bring your camera to capture the natural beauty of the area, including the wildlife. At one point, we were even sharing the trail with a bighorn sheep! We will definitely use Glacier Guides again on our next trip to Montana and will likely book a different day of the week to experience a different trail. Enjoy!

  • Lodging Testimonial

    Perfect base from which to explore Glacier National Park. We only had 4 in our group, but the house had plenty of room for more. We picked up groceries on the way from the airport so we could cook breakfast and dinners at the house and spend all day at the Park. Sunflower Cafe across the highway has great options to pack in for trail lunches. We loved all the windows and felt like we were already in the park while in the house. Great to have the laundry there, too to clean up before heading over to the east side of the park for the rest of our stay. I would recommend this house to anyone. visiting Glacier.

  • Fishing Testimonial

    Great place! Amazing planning, preparation and logistics management. I had a great time on a half day fly fishing trip on the Northfork and learned some great techniques. I also went on a guided 3 day backpacking trip. Besides the spectacular views, our meals were healthy and tasty. Both guides were very knowledgeable, passionate and experienced. The guides as well as the service staff are great people. Everyone is upbeat, passionate about outdoor recreation, professional, safe and fun. It’s great being surrounded by like minded people. I will most definitely return to make some more memories.

    We had such a great time! Our guide was Nicolette, and she was fantastic. She was so
    knowledgeable about the park, river, and everything Montana. We weren’t sure what to expect upon arrival, and ended up making the best memories of our trip. I very highly recommend this company & the relaxing raft tour. Make it a priority if you’re visiting Glacier! Will definitely be back!

Our 2026 Glacier National Park Backcountry Chalet Our 2026 Glacier National Park Backcountry Chalet Trip dates are LIVE! Join us on these dates for a 3-day adventure based out of the iconic Granite Park Chalet: 

July 13th
July 23rd
July 27th
August 3rd
August 10th

Reservations (first come first served) open in 1 hr: February 12th, at 8 AM mountain time! 

This trip offers the best of both worlds in Glacier National Park: immersive backcountry hiking paired with the comfort and character of the historic Granite Park Chalet. Explore Glacier’s stunning interior landscapes by day, then settle in for the night within the original stone walls of a backcountry icon.

Enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals served miles from the nearest road or grocery store, and unwind in the warm glow of the chalet dining room. After dark, step outside to experience Glacier’s internationally recognized dark skies, where stars fill the night in every direction. Best of all, you’ll enjoy this backcountry experience without carrying camping gear. Your daypack will weigh approximately 20 pounds and will include your clothing, lunch, water (two bottles or a hydration system), rain gear, and optional personal items such as a camera, binoculars, sunscreen, and similar essentials. Here’s a list of what to bring.
Depending on trail conditions, you’ll hike to and from the Chalet via either the Loop Trail (3.8 miles with 2,000 feet of elevation gain) or the Highline Trail (7.5 mostly level miles). The Chalet features a fully equipped kitchen and beds with linens, offering rare comfort deep in Glacier’s backcountry. This three-day hut hike provides outstanding opportunities to experience the park’s landscapes, wildlife, and natural history at a relaxed, rewarding pace.
