Who are we?

At Glacier Hikes & Bikes, we know the outdoors.

Our combined experience spans beyond the three major US mountain ranges and serves to provide you with safety and peace of mind out on the trails.

We take pride in offering a personal and unforgettable experience. It doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned hiker or new to the whole outdoors thing- we have a little something for everyone.

Northwestern Montana is a uniquely captivating place.
Over 2,500 miles of traversable trails wind through a varied landscape, encompassing serene green hills, awe-inspiring jagged peaks, and vast open prairies.

Our mission is to share a love for the outdoors through responsible recreation. We proudly champion the seven “Leave No Trace” principles and provide education on the best practices to ensure a safe and sustainable experience.

Flathead National Forest Tours

Take off through the Crown of the Continent on an E-Bike, exploring America’s world-famous Going-To-The-Sun Road with all the freedom of a bicycle and none of the struggle. Chase the warm winds as they dance through an alpine meadow along your hike, then turn the corner and witness a mighty glacier clinging impossibly to a sheer cliff face. Sleep under a billion stars, wake up at the foot of a lake above the clouds, then lace your boots up and do it all over again.

We also offer custom trips!

  • While Glacier National Park remains technically open year-round, access during the winter months is limited due to heavy snowfall and road closures. Plowing on Going-To-The-Sun Road typically commences on April 1st each year, signaling the beginning of preparations for the spring and summer season. Biking on the road usually becomes feasible by mid-April, offering enthusiasts an opportunity to traverse its scenic route. However, vehicle access to the road typically doesn't open until late June, once all necessary preparations and maintenance have been completed. It's important to note that Going-To-The-Sun Road closes again in mid-October as winter approaches, marking the end of the season for vehicular traffic until the following spring.

Brandon also took us on an e-bike ride around Whitefish and the surrounding areas. Our experiences with Brandon made our trip to Montana a trip of a lifetime. He is an amazing guide and person. Don’t miss an opportunity to make your trip one in a million!"
