Glacier National Park Tours 2024

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.

Our guest reviews

  • "We went up for a trip to whitefish and we had one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever had . The main reason was due to our guide Brandon Phillips his knowledge of the area and professionalism was second to none always putting us in front of any of his own thoughts and needs . He was very personable and just over all pleasure to be around . We most definitely plan on returning and using his services again."

    -Frank Wallace

    -Charlann Gasper

  • "Went on an incredible bike ride on Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park with Glacier Hikes & Bikes! Brandon provided transportation to the park and allowed us to use his E-bikes for a fun and beautiful ride. The bikes were super helpful on the road with a variety of settings to assist you in pedaling (especially when it gets a little steep!) and Brandon allowed us to take all of the stops we wanted in order to take photos and to share interesting information about the history of the park and the mountains we were looking at. We even had a nice lunch with the group at a very scenic stopping point. I would absolutely do this tour again and highly recommend it to others!! Really great experience to be apart of while in Glacier NP!"

    -Sara Reddy

  • "I really cannot say enough good things about my family’s experience with Brandon this summer. He took us on an incredible hike to a Fire Lookout Station with amazing views into Canada. 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!"

    -Melissa Breitling

  • "Had a great time biking Going to the Sun Road with Brandon. He was very knowledgeable about the park and surrounding areas, and my friends and I learned a lot throughout the tour. I especially appreciated how accommodating he was to my group. He offered rides to and from Apgar, provided options for lunch, and throughout the day suggested great spots to stop for pictures/breaks. The day was capped off by a beautifully backdropped lunch near the top of the pass. Couldn’t recommend Glacier Hikes and Bikes enough to anyone wanting to see what the area has to offer"
