How to Plan for Your Glacier National Park E-Bike Tour

Exploring Going-to-the-Sun Road by e-bike is one of the most breathtaking ways to experience Glacier National Park, offering stunning views, exhilarating descents, and the chance to connect with nature at your own pace. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a beginner, an e-bike tour in Glacier makes this adventure accessible to just about anyone. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for an unforgettable ride.

Dress for the Weather: Be Ready for Rain and Cold

Weather in Glacier National Park can be unpredictable, especially in spring and early summer. While it may be warm and sunny in Whitefish or West Glacier, the temperature can drop significantly as you gain elevation on Going-to-the-Sun Road—often 15 degrees colder at higher altitudes. Being prepared for changing conditions is key!

What to Wear for Your Glacier E-Bike Tour:

  • Rain Jacket – A must-have! Sudden showers are common, and staying dry keeps you comfortable.

  • Rain Pants – Not required, but a great extra layer for wet or windy days.

  • Gloves – Hands can get cold, especially on early morning or high-altitude rides.

  • Warm Layers – A fleece or lightweight insulated jacket ensures you stay warm as you climb.

  • Comfortable, Athletic Clothing – Breathable, moisture-wicking layers work best for an active day outdoors.

Do You Need to Train for an E-Bike Tour?

One of the best parts about e-biking Going-to-the-Sun Road is that you don’t need to be an experienced cyclist to enjoy it. The pedal-assist feature on our high-quality e-bikes allows riders of all fitness levels to tackle the elevation gain with ease. While traditional road biking requires endurance and strength, e-bikes make this iconic route accessible for nearly everyone—whether you’re a casual rider or someone looking for a little extra assistance.

Additional Tips for a Smooth Ride

  • Bring Sunglasses & Sunscreen – Even on cloudy days, UV rays at high elevations can be intense.

  • Pack a Small Backpack – Great for storing layers, snacks, and water.

  • Stay Hydrated – Even in cooler temps, biking at elevation requires plenty of water.

  • Check Road Conditions – Certain sections of Going-to-the-Sun Road may be closed early in the season due to snowpack.
