Full Description

A Carefree Day in Glacier National Park!

Experience Glacier’s quieter season on a guided, small-group winter driving tour. We’ll pick you up from your lodging and navigate the winter roads in a comfortable four-wheel-drive vehicle while you relax and enjoy the snow-covered scenery.

Your local guide knows what is open and accessible during the winter and will choose the best stops based on current conditions. The day may include West Glacier, Belton Bridge, Apgar Village, Lake McDonald, and other scenic destinations in the surrounding area. Park entry, lunch, snacks, hot chocolate, and return transportation are all included.

Our Glacier National Park winter tour offers a peaceful way to experience the park without navigating winter roads yourself.

Glacier provided one of the best tours I’ve ever had. They phoned me twice to confirm the reservation and tell me what to expect on the tour. Our guide, Adam, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. The 5-hr driving tour included many key spots in Glacier National Park plus an excellent lunch. This company made the first visit to Glacier both easy and memorable.

Adam was out tour guide today, and despite the awful rainy weather we dealt with, he made the day a very fun and enjoyable experience. His knowledge of the park, its history and the area overall made things fun and lifted our spirits in spite of the weather. He’s really great at his job and we’d highly recommend using Glacier Tours to get familiarized with the park.

Dan was our tour guide. He had so many interesting facts and stories about what we were seeing. He kept me thoroughly engaged. I am so glad we did this and would recommend. We saw things we never would have known about if we were out on our own. So glad we took the tour with Dan.
