Adventure-Rafting

I highly recommend the Great Northern Raft Company. This is a beautiful location. If you are interested in rafting or fishing or if you'd like to rent paddle boards or equipment, I can get you a discount from the owner. Please reach out to me for the information and discount code. Stop in for coffee and snacks on your way to Glacier Park!
This is a beautiful Location. Stop in for coffee at the caboose, live music on Fridays and sign up for rafting or fishing trips.

If it's hot, this is a fun way to cool off. These are older slides and pools. They also have bumper cars and a carousel etc. If the kids are getting bored...

Glacier Park

A popular hike is Avalanche trail of the cedars. Its about 3 miles but pretty easy and you can bring kids on that. Its gorgeous when you get to the lake. The road often opens up to Avalanche before/after the rest of the park is open.

Beautiful place to visit. When the park is closed for traffic on the Going to the Sun road, you can usually drive up to this lake/lodge and see gorgeous views. The restaurant is open during the summer.

Great short hike for kids and families. You can go to John's lake loop or just do the river walk. Mostly flat- some stairs. No strollers though.

Great short hike for kids and families. You can go to John's lake loop or just do the river walk. Mostly flat- some stairs. No strollers though.
Mostly boardwalks. Easy hike with kids. There will be patches of snow here year round and mountain goats. You will need to park at Logan's pass at the top of Going to the Sun road. The parking lot fills up very early in the day (7am?) and they will not allow anyone to pull into the parking lot and there is no where to pull over if the lot is full. If you can take a shuttle instead- highly recommend.

Long beautiful hike. You may see bears so bring bear spray. The trail is sometimes closed due to bears. You will need to park at Logan's pass visitor center which is often closed and filled very early in the morning. If you can take a shuttle I highly recommend.

Hungry horse reservoir past the Hungry Horse dam also has a beautiful body of water and campgrounds you can spend time on the lake. There is also huckleberry picking along the road. Bring bear spray. Beautiful lake but more remote. There is no cell service.
