Day 2: Glacier National Park- Highline Trail
7:30 am- 4:30 pm
For this morning, we partner with the Glacier Institute to explore and hike Glacier National Park. After jumping into the Glacier Institue vans, we drive along the spectacular "Going to the Sun" road, a stunning architectural achievement in itself. We'll arrive at the Highline Trail, one of the park's more advanced hikes. The Glacier Institute will then lead us through some of the most scenic vistas in the lower 48, in view of many geological wonders. A one-way scenic traverse with Shuttle return; famous ledge section with hand cable.

Throughout the trip, your guides will keep snacks and water available whenever you are together in the vans, so you can focus on the experience, the views, and the friendships you build along the way.
Day 3: Glacier National Park - Iceberg Lake Trail

Today we explore one of Glacier National Park's most iconic hikes, the stunning Iceberg Lake Trail. This 10-mile round-trip journey takes us through lush forests, vibrant wildflower meadows, cascading waterfalls, and alpine terrain, culminating at a striking turquoise lake often dotted with floating icebergs and surrounded by towering cliffs. The first half mile is steepest, climbing nearly 200 feet, but the grade levels out to a more gradual incline afterward. Along the route, we will pass Ptarmigan Falls, encounter native wildlife, and enjoy sweeping views before reaching the lake.
