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 Cross the border into Canada to immerse yourself in Waterton Lakes National Park | Follow the Carthew-Alderson Trail, considered one of the best hikes in Alberta | Amble through numerous botanical life zones and past Forum Peak to the west and Mount Custer to the south | Options abound today, including a boat excursion to the northern gateway of Glacier National Park, exploring trails on foot, kayaking, shopping in Waterton Townsite or afternoon tea at our hotel, one of the most photographed in North America.
Days 5-6 Spot bighorn sheep, mule deer and maybe even a grizzly bear | In the striking Many Glacier Valley, hike to a lake cold enough to harbor icebergs well into the warmer months | 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.
