The Top 6 Adventure Tours in East Glacier

The east side of Glacier National Park is a dream come true for adventurers looking to push the limits. With fewer crowds, rugged terrain, and jaw-dropping views, this side of the park offers some of the most thrilling outdoor experiences around. Whether you're summiting a peak, riding alpine roads, or mixing trail time with pedal power, East Glacier delivers big-time adventure.

If you're staying on the West side of the park (or the Flathead Valley) for convenience, there's no more convenient way to adventure on the east side than a private tour that can pick you up at your hotel and take you on epic hikes and explorations of Two Medicine, St. Mary or more. If you're staying somewhere on the east side, then try out this guided hike and cultural experience for some light adventure. 

E-bike rides along the Going-to-the-Sun Road are a popular choice for good reason. You get sweeping mountain views, fresh air, and a serious sense of accomplishment—without the thigh-burning grind. If you're more of a paddler then a pedaler kayak rentals are available out of East Glacier as well. 

If you're up for a multi-sport day, the East Glacier Waterfall Hike & Bike tour is a top pick. You’ll pedal through scenic terrain, then hike to a remote waterfall, all while learning from Indigenous guides who know this land better than anyone. It’s active, meaningful, and a great way to see more of the landscape in a single day.

For a true bucket-list challenge and "peak" experience, private summit tours take you into the backcountry along with a local indigenous guide. You and your crew will see spectacular scenery and be physically challenged with the oversight of your guide who provides safety, expertise as well as interesting history and local knowledge while you climb a notable peak in Glacier National Park. 

These tours are built by locals who live and breathe Glacier’s wild side. Whether you're chasing a personal goal or just want an epic story to bring home, East Glacier's adventure tours are packed with moments you’ll never forget.
