Hike & Float: The Perfect Adventure in Montana’s Wilderness

Looking for a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation? Our Hike & Float tours offer an unforgettable experience, combining a scenic hike with a leisurely pack raft float on a pristine alpine lake. Whether you’re looking to explore Montana’s breathtaking backcountry or simply soak in the serenity of a crystal-clear lake, our guided hike and raft combos are the perfect way to experience the best of the outdoors.

The Hike: A Scenic Journey to an Alpine Lake

Your adventure begins with a guided hike through the Flathead National Forest, just outside of Glacier National Park. Our expert guides will lead you along scenic trails lined with wildflowers, towering pines, and panoramic mountain views. Each hike is chosen based on the season and your group’s ability level, ensuring a fun and rewarding trek.

🥾 What to Expect on the Hike:

  • Moderate distances, typically 3-6 miles round-trip

  • Stunning mountain and lake views

  • The chance to see wildlife such as mountain goats, moose, and eagles

  • Expert guides sharing local knowledge and trail insights

The Float: A Peaceful Rafting Experience

After reaching the secluded alpine lake, it’s time to relax and take in the beauty of Montana’s backcountry. Our lightweight pack rafts allow you to gently glide across the water, offering a calm, meditative experience surrounded by towering peaks. Unlike fast-paced river rafting, this is a leisurely float, giving you time to soak in the mirror-like reflections of the mountains, listen to the peaceful sounds of nature, and even take a refreshing dip in the clear waters.

🛶 What to Expect on the Float:

  • A calm and relaxing pack rafting experience—no whitewater!

  • The freedom to explore the lake’s shoreline at your own pace

  • Opportunities for swimming, photography, and wildlife spotting

  • The ultimate way to cool off and unwind after a scenic hike

Gourmet Lunch with a View

To top off your Hike & Float adventure, we provide a gourmet sandwich lunch from Jersey Boys Pizzeria. There’s nothing better than enjoying a fresh, hearty meal while overlooking an alpine lake—it's the perfect way to recharge before hiking back.
