The Top 8 Hiking Tours in East Glacier

East Glacier is a hiker’s paradise, with dramatic terrain, hidden waterfalls, and trails that feel wonderfully off the beaten path. While the west side of Glacier National Park sees much of the spotlight, the east side offers a wilder, more serene experience—especially if you're lacing up your boots and hitting the trails with a knowledgeable guide. From gentle nature walks to full-day peak climbs into alpine terrain, East Glacier hiking tours offer a deep and immersive way to explore the park.

For travelers looking for a relaxed pace with cultural depth, the East Glacier Nature Hike is a must. Led by Indigenous guides from the local Blackfeet community, this experience blends storytelling, ecology, and gentle trail time into one unforgettable outing. It’s perfect for families, seniors, or anyone who wants to connect with the land on a more meaningful level.

More ambitious hikers can tackle longer day hikes like Firebrand Pass or around Two Medicine where expert guides help you navigate changing conditions, wildlife zones, and route choices—letting you focus on the scenery and the challenge. These tours often include transport, snacks, and essential safety gear, making them both accessible and worry-free. And with fewer crowds on this side of the park, chances are good you’ll have stretches of trail all to yourself.

Whether you’re new to hiking or looking to summit a ridge with sweeping valley views, guided hikes on the east side deliver a more personal, grounded experience. You’ll go beyond the viewpoints and truly into the heart of Glacier—on foot, with someone who knows every turn of the trail.
