Your tour guide will share some information about the area and the Flathead River system as we travel to our first stop, the Hungry Horse Dam which is on the South Fork of the Flathead River.

After the Hungry Horse Dam, we will proceed to the village of West Glacier. This quaint little town sits just outside Glacier National Park on the Middle fork of the Flathead River. It is the west entrance to the park. Here you’ll have a few minutes to explore the small town and an opportunity to purchase food, drinks, and snack items as well as locally made goods, including a vast array of products featuring Huckleberries. Be sure to ask your guide about Huckleberries and Flathead Cherries.

We will enter Glacier National Park just outside West Glacier, but not before a stop for a picture at the famous entrance sign. Once in the park Our first stop will be Lake McDonald Lodge. This historic building is one of the oldest hotels inside the park.  Behind the Lodge you can walk on the shore of beautiful Lake McDonald. Go ahead and dip your feet in the pristine water if you want.  Great photo opportunity. Ask your guide to take a group picture on the rocky beach.  Possible option for a short hike (see below)

Next, we will make a stop in Apgar. Photo opportunities abound in this village which sits on the south end of Lake McDonald.  This will be a good place to have lunch.  Possible option for a short hike (see below)

We wave goodbye to Apgar and head outside the park to rustic and remote Polebridge. The “town” of Polebridge is completely off the electrical grid and makes its own power via solar panels, The townsite consists primarily of the Northern Lights Saloon which serves up food and libations and the Polebridge Mercantile.  The Mercantile is on the National Registry of Historic places and is most famous for the bakery in the back of the store. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a Bearclaw and take some home with you.  Possible option for a short hike (see below)

After our time in Polebridge, we will again travel along the North Fork of the Flathead River and return you to the point of pickup. There is an option to add on a trip to a local distillery to the return.
