Day 1: McDonald Falls, Welcome Dinner on Lake McDonald

Premium Lodging: Lake McDonald Lodge or Under Canvas Glacier Glamping 

The Expedition Cruiser will pick you up from the Glacier International Airport by 5:00 pm. We’ll continue into Columbia Falls before entering through West Glacier. Due to the narrow roads and rock overhangs, vehicle regulations prohibit the Expedition Cruiser from entering major areas of the park. Luckily there are several shuttle options, including guided bus tours, hiking shuttles, and the free Glacier’s Going-To-The-Sun-Road Shuttle System with stops on the west side of the park. We will head towards McDonald Falls aboard a hiking shuttle. Here, you may hike the 0.7 miles to the cascading falls or embark on a longer route to a surrounding lake. Either way, you’ll have ample options to stretch out your legs before we go to Lake McDonald Lodge. We’ll eat dinner at favorite scenic outlook of Lake McDonald before boarding a guided evening boat tour on Lake McDonald. For those who will be staying at the lodge, the evening is yours to enjoy. For those who will be glamping with Under Canvas, the Expedition Cruiser will escort you to your accommodations. 

Day 2: West Side Scenic Red Bus Tour and The West Side of Glacier National Park

Premium Lodging: Lake McDonald or Under Canvas Glacier Glamping

We’ll rise early to begin our exploration of the west side of the park on a scenic Red Bus Tour.  The tour starts in cedar and hemlock forests that lie within the Lake McDonald Valley. We will traverse the famed Going-to-the-Sun Road to the high alpine region of the park and stand on top of the Continental Divide. We will discover incredible mountain ranges, glaciers, waterfalls, and wildflowers along the way as we move along the glacially carved Garden Wall.  After our famous Red Bus Tour, your National Park Travel Club guide will provide trail maps and an overview of the west side of the park and escort you as you navigate regions such as Lake McDonald, Logan Pass, and North Fork - all of which boast breathtaking views of the park.  After a full day of exploration and fun, we will return to the banks of Lake McDonald for relaxing evening.

Day 3: East Side Exploration

Premium Lodging: Lake McDonald or Under Canvas Glacier Glamping

Today you will see Two Medicine, Many Glacier, Goat Haunt and St Mary as we explore the East Side of Glacier National Park.  The wildflowers, waterfalls, lakes and wildlife will take your breath away while the trail systems provide safe access to these wonders.  The park also provides guided boat tours on Lake McDonald that can be scheduled for any day that we are in the park. 

Day 4:  Lakeside Brunch Farewell

This morning, have your luggage ready to be loaded onto the Expedition Cruiser. Your guide will be taking the group on a morning hike to some of the destinations that the group has not seen yet, but the purpose of the morning is to take relaxing strolls and soak in our last moments in the park.  Our Chef will provide a farewell brunch for those that don’t have to leave earlier, and we will spend our last day in this majestic wonderland with good food, good friends and the serenity of the national treasure called Glacier National Park.
