The Top 15 Going-to-the-Sun Road Tours in Kalispell

Kalispell is more than just a convenient gateway to Glacier National Park—it’s the region’s largest town, and a perfect home base for exploring the jaw-dropping Going-to-the-Sun Road. Just about 40 minutes from the park's West Glacier entrance, Kalispell puts you in striking distance of one of the most scenic drives in America, with tours that run the gamut from relaxing sightseeing to breathtaking hikes along high-alpine trails.

Group tours are a great value, ideal for travelers who want to soak up the scenery with others and learn from expert local guides. For example, the Half-Day Going-to-the-Sun Road & Logan Pass Tour offers a quick hit of the area’s highlights and is perfect if you’re short on time. But if you want a deeper dive into the park's wild heart, the Full Day Going-to-the-Sun is a great way to see the full length of the iconic road along and get a great education about the history, geology and more with a small group of no more than 14 people. 

Are you based out of East Glacier, St. Mary or another region on the south or east side of Glacier? Then you'll want to check out the Full-Day Going-to-the-Sun Road & East Glacier Tour—led by Blackfeet guides—blends panoramic driving with rich cultural insight.

More of a hiker? You’ll love the Hidden Lake Guided Day Hike or the challenging and rewarding Highline Trail Hike, both offering epic views and insider knowledge. For a quieter vibe or a sunset adventure, the Evening UTV Side-by-Side Rental or Evening Hike to Hidden Lake Overlook are great options without the daytime crowds.

Want a totally custom experience? Private tours mean it is just your group and your guide, with much more flexibility in the itinerary as you explore Going-to-the-Sun. This is the best option if you want pick-up directly from your hotel in Whitefish, Kalispell or Columbia Falls. 

All these options are carefully curated by locals who live, work, and play in Glacier—so you’re getting the real deal, the stuff we recommend to our friends!
