For trips starting in mid June onward, we will have permits in early February. Feel free to ask us what we have scheduled for a particular date. For trips in late May and early June we won’t know exactly where we’re going until the day before the trip.
May and June: Early Season (Difficulty 2: Easy to Moderate)
We spend most of the early season exploring Glacier National Park’s Belly River. You’ll experience fields covered in wildflowers, towering snow-capped peaks and plenty of backcountry lakes to admire.
Late June – Late July: More Terrain Options (Difficulty 3: Moderate)
We love the Cutbank area of the park both for the beauty and serenity. This is the perfect time of year for a peaceful few days spent in Glacier’s backcountry and typically our first chance to go over Triple Divide Pass and into St. Mary. Total elevation gain for this pass is about 2,400 feet!
Late July – Late August: Opportunities abound (Difficulty 3: Moderate)
We’ve made it to that time in Montana’s short summer window where we can reach higher elevation areas and see the Glacially carved valleys below. Many times, we will begin in the Two Medicine area and hike over Pitamakan Pass to Cutbank, or vice versa. Another amazing option that occurs frequently in August is hiking over Gunsight Pass from Jackson Glacier Overlook to Lake McDonald Lodge
September: Cooler Weather Arrives (Difficulty 3: Moderate)
As we drift back into cooler weather and early fall, high alpine areas or passes may receive snowfall. In this case, we venture back to The Belly River or hike from Cutbank to the Two Medicine ar
