Today we dive headfirst into the magic of Glacier National Park, one of the crown jewels of the Rockies. Our first hike leads us through towering cedar groves on the Trail of the Cedars, then winds upward to the breathtaking Avalanche Lake, where waterfalls tumble down cliffs into turquoise waters. It’s the perfect intro hike—energizing but accessible, with plenty of chances to stop, snap photos, and take it all in.

After lunch by the lake or a nearby lodge, we’ll enjoy a scenic drive along the legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road, marveling at dramatic vistas and glacial valleys. Back in Whitefish, we’ll wind down with a hearty dinner and maybe even some lakeside sunset watching. This is what Montana is all about: big skies, bold views, and bonding in nature.

It’s time to hit one of Glacier’s most iconic hikes! We’ll make our way to Logan Pass, where the wildflower-filled meadows and soaring peaks set the stage for today’s adventures. Depending on the group’s vibe, you can choose the panoramic Highline Trail, a dramatic route that hugs the cliffs with jaw-dropping views at every turn, or opt for the equally rewarding Hidden Lake Overlook, a shorter hike with high chances of spotting mountain goats.

Lunch is enjoyed trail-side with epic backdrops before a leisurely return down the scenic highway. This is our most visually stunning day—think postcards come to life—and you’ll return to Whitefish feeling like you just stepped into a nature documentary. Tonight, we’ll keep things relaxed with a casual dinner and plenty of time to share photos and stories from the trail.

After two big hiking days, it’s time to play! We’ll head to Whitefish Mountain Resort, where adventure takes a thrilling twist. Zip through the forest on the Alpine Slide, soar through the trees on a zipline tour, or ride the scenic gondola to the summit for 360-degree views of the Flathead Valley and Glacier’s distant peaks. You can make today as exhilarating or chill as you like—there’s even a treetop obstacle course if you’re feeling bold!

Lunch will be served with a view at the summit café, and afterward, we’ll return to town for some well-earned downtime. Whether you prefer to unwind at the spa, poke around the local shops, or sip wine at a cozy tasting room, this afternoon is all yours. Tonight, we’ll gather for dinner and swap stories about our afternoon.

We’ll close out our Montana adventure with a gentle, soul-filling morning. For early risers, a sunrise walk at Lion Mountain Trail offers golden views and a peaceful goodbye to the peaks. Prefer to sleep in? No problem—your morning can be as slow and luxurious as you like. Journaling by the lake or just sipping coffee on the porch are all encouraged.

We’ll wrap up our time together with a farewell brunch and a final group circle to reflect on the experiences, challenges, and joys we’ve shared. This trip is more than just mountains and trails—it’s about discovering your wild side, forming new friendships, and heading home feeling energized, empowered, and a little bit more free.
