Backpacking in Montana

Highlights

Forget about civilization and visit remote parts of Glacier National Park.

There are over 700 miles of hiking trail in Glacier National Park, so the best way to see it is on foot. You'll spend the days in subalpine and alpine meadows amongst Glacier's towering peaks. On the trail, your guide will point out features of interest, identify flora and fauna and be on the lookout for wildlife.

You'll be camping in Glacier's backcountry campgrounds where your guide will help you set up your tent if need be. Your guides are great backountry cooks so you'll enjoy delicious meals, and you'll be able to relax and rest after a challenging day of hiking. All of the campgrounds are located by lakes or streams. The daily mileage averages 6 to 8 miles a day, and you'll be carrying about 40 pounds.
