Itinerary
Day 1 Things might look a little different here... this is Big Sky Country! | Follow the Trail of the Cedars through a dense forest to turquoise Avalanche Lake | Back at the lodge, take a dip in Lake McDonald... if you dare! | Take in the immensity of the Montana night sky from our rustic Swiss-style retreat.
Day 2 Behold stunning Going-to-the-Sun Road, 'the most beautiful 50 miles in the world' | Marvelous geologic features, including Haystack Butte, embellish the landscape as you hike on the Highline Trail | Take in gorgeous panoramic views from Logan Pass and the Continental Divide.
Days 3-4 Spend the morning in the striking Many Glacier Valley on a hike to a lake cold enough to harbor icebergs well into the warmer months then cross the border into Canada in the afternoon to immerse yourself in Waterton Lakes National Park | Stay at the grand Prince of Wales Hotel with its soaring roofs, gables and balconies and a timber-framed interior... it's no surprise that it's the most photographed hotel in North America! | Options abound today, including exploring trails on foot, kayaking, shopping in Waterton Townsite or a cozy afternoon tea at our hotel.
Days 5-6 Hike along a trail to a gorgeous sub-alipine lake surrounded by towering cliffs and mountains | Return to Montana to explore East Glacier | Spot bighorn sheep, mule deer and maybe even a grizzly bear | Raft down the Middle Fork of the Flathead River with expert guides who provide a unique perspective on the flora and fauna along the way.
