The Ultimate Tour of Glacier National Park

[admin]

According to U.S. Geological surveys, the glaciers of Glacier National Park could disappear as early as 2020, forever changing the features that make this park so unique. There is something very special about the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Parks that can best be experienced by breathing in the fresh mountain air, travelling on vintage buses and sleeping at lodges that date back to the early 1900’s. From late June until early September, Glacier Park offers an amazing 6 day/5 night tour of both parks, showcasing what Glacier National Park is all about. The tour begins at East Glacier with an authentic outdoor Cowboy Cookout dinner and overnight at the Glacier Park Lodge and Resort. Travel within the parks will be exclusively on the vintage Red Bus motocoaches; lovingly restored 1930 buses with roll-back canvas tops. Day two travel is sightseeing the Two Medicine Valley with a classic wood boat cruise, viewing of Running Eagle Falls and a Blackfeet Tribe Cultural tour. That evening will be spent at the stately Prince of Wales Hotel in southern Alberta, Canada and overlooking sparkling Waterton Lake. The next day is free to explore the village of Waterton with a special Afternoon Tea served at the hotel before you depart for the Many Glacier Valley. The next two evenings are spent at the picturesque Many Glacier Hotel on the shores of Swiftcurrent Lake and the base of Mt. Grinnell. Enjoy evening entertainment with singer/songwriter David Walburn as well as a boat cruise of Swiftcurrent Lake, unsurpassed mountain vistas and sunsets from the lakefront verandah. Day five is devoted to the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road ending at West Glacier, overnight at Lake McDonald Lodge and a farewell dinner. Space is limited to about 40 visitors per tour, insuring an intimate and personal experience within the park and at the lodges.
