4 Day Backpacking Glacier National Park

The day starts with meeting your guide at the West Glacier office at 8:30 am. You’ll go over your gear and split up food and equipment amongst the group. Depending on the itinerary, you may expect a 1 to 3 hour van shuttle to the trailhead. You should be on trail between 11:30am to 12:30pm.  

Expect to hike approximately 6-8 miles the first day. No matter your level of hiking experience, the guides will teach you something new as you hike. Your first night’s camp is likely to be on the shore of a beautiful alpine lake, surrounded by majestic snow-capped peaks, or nestled in a secluded valley next to the peaceful sounds of a babbling creek. After setting up camp, your guide will prepare an incredible backcountry meal.  

Your in house kitchen staff, who assists guides in trip preparations, believes in sourcing locally, purchasing organic when possible, and fueling your body with the best available, homemade food. You won’t find commercially freeze dried one bag meals on this trip! You can also accommodate nearly any dietary restriction or preference – just ask.
