About your trip

Join a small group for a powerful, five-day hiking experience in Glacier National Park and surrounding wilderness, designed to immerse you fully in the landscape while keeping the logistics simple and supportive. Each day features thoughtfully chosen trails that showcase both iconic scenery and quieter corners of the region.

On most days, we’ll hike 4–8 miles with moderate elevation gain, with built-in options to adjust distance or difficulty depending on the group and conditions. Evenings and breaks throughout the trip include optional moments that add ease and enjoyment—such as guided meditation, journaling, wilderness painting, stretching, and unstructured time to relax and take in the setting.

All transportation and logistics are handled by your experienced local guides, including lodging and daily breakfasts, trail lunches, and two group dinners during the trip. The itinerary is designed so you can focus on hiking, connecting, and enjoying the experience. Retreat to Montana and return home feeling refreshed, confident, and deeply connected to Glacier Country's landscapes.

Itinerary

This five-day hiking adventure begins with a 9:00 AM meet-up in Whitefish, where the group gathers before heading out for the first of several thoughtfully chosen day hikes in and around Glacier National Park. The first two nights are based in Whitefish, offering a lively mountain town atmosphere in the evenings, with optional community sessions and time to enjoy local dining, including a group dinner on the final night in town. On the third day, the primary activity is a guided hike, with the option for guests to choose a rest day or an alternative experience such as a river float or fly-fishing, before traveling east across the Rocky Mountains to a historic and quieter hotel in East Glacier. That evening includes a group dinner and time to unwind while taking in expansive views and memorable sunsets together. The final two days focus on scenic hikes, optional activities and evening gatherings, and opportunities to relax and reflect before returning to Whitefish, with the trip concluding at approximately 4:00 PM on the final day.
