Trip Itinerary
Days 1-3: Hiking - Backpacking The three-day backpacking trip offers a taste of Glacier's backcountry. Even though Montana Raft can't give you an exact itinerary for your particular trip, many of these trips are in the Two Medicine Area since several short loops originate here in the southeastern corner of Glacier. You'll spend days in subalpine and alpine meadows amongst Glacier's towering peaks. All of the camps in this area are located on lakes or streams. Distances covered on three-day hikes range from four to nine miles per day and may involve some elevation gain, but these trips are geared toward those with little or no backpacking experience and moderate conditioning. Your pack will weigh 35 to 40 pounds. These trips are a great introduction to backpacking or perfect for those with limited time to venture into wilds of Glacier for a memorable backcountry adventure. On the third day, return to West Glacier around 4:00 or 5:00pm, unpack, and return to the Glacier Highland Hotel where you can unwind and relax in the comforts of the hotel.
Days 4-5: Rafting Meet at 9:00am and pack your gear for rafting. Enjoy the next two days floating and camping along the banks of the Wild and Scenic Middle Fork of the Flathead River. This river forms the boundary between Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest. Flora and fauna abound on its banks making this one of the most scenic areas in America. While floating the river you may dangle your feet in the cool mountain waters and challenge the most exciting whitewater around. In camp you'll enjoy dining on fine cuisine and staring up at the star-filled skies. Check the two-day raft trip description for more details.
