Description

Avoid the stress of permits, parking, and complex logistics—this full-day shuttle service whisks you from Whitefish directly to Glacier National Park’s Many Glacier Valley, one of the most scenic and sought-after areas in the entire park. With construction-related access restrictions in 2025, personal vehicle access is limited—but this shuttle ensures you get in smoothly and comfortably, without the hassle.

After a relaxed three-hour drive, you’ll be dropped off steps from the historic Many Glacier Hotel, surrounded by towering peaks, glacial lakes, and some of the park’s best hiking trails. You’ll have up to five hours of free time to explore the area however you choose—no guide, no rigid schedule. Just endless scenery, big mountain air, and the flexibility to roam.

Use your free time however you like:

  • Iceberg Lake Trail – A moderately strenuous hike through wildflower meadows to a glacier-fed lake where floating icebergs drift through turquoise water

  • Grinnell Lake Trail – An easy, scenic trail with wildlife sightings, waterfalls, and a dramatic lake framed by cliffs and hanging glaciers

  • Many Glacier Hotel – Lounge on the lakeside deck, grab a snack, or explore the 100-year-old Swiss-style lodge and its sweeping mountain views

  • Swiftcurrent Lake Loop – A gentle shoreline trail, perfect for photography, wildlife spotting, or a peaceful stroll

If you're planning a longer Glacier itinerary, consider pairing this with a shuttle to Two Medicine on another day—a quieter corner of the park known for its colorful lakes, boat tours, and rugged trails. Whether you’re here for one day or more, this shuttle gives you direct access to the most breathtaking terrain in the park, without the red tape.
