West Glacier Park Scenic Driving Tour

Experience Glacier National Park from the comfort of a full-service shuttle as we guide you through some of the most picturesque locations in the park.

Your journey begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Whitefish, Kalispell, or Columbia Falls. Enjoy the mountain views as you travel toward the park's western entrance, following the scenic Middle Fork of the Flathead River. Along the way, your knowledgeable guide will share insights into the area's rich history and the important role of the Great Northern Railway in shaping the region.

Upon arrival at West Glacier, the route takes you through the historic Belton Bridge and past the Glacier National Park entrance sign—a perfect spot for a photo. The adventure continues to Apgar Village, nestled at the foot of Lake McDonald. Here, take in the serene views of towering mountains reflected in the crystal-clear waters and admire the famous 'rainbow rocks' that line the lake's shore.

As you travel along the lower portions of Going-to-the-Sun Road, you'll make your way to the Lake McDonald Lodge. Here, enjoy a hearty lunch and refreshments with a spectacular view of the water. If there's time, make your way north to the historic Polebridge Mercantile before making your way to some local shops like Huckleberry Land and Glacier Distilling Company, where you can sample local flavors and browse regional gifts.

This tour is an easygoing way to take in the varied terrain of the park—rivers, forests, lakes, and mountain peaks—all without the effort of planning or driving. Lunch, transportation, and park entry are all taken care of, so you can focus on what matters: the outstanding Montana views and a memorable experience.
