Description
Bike, Hike & Raft in Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks
Bring the family to Big Sky Country for a multisport adventure in Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks, where jagged peaks soar skyward, vibrant wildflowers carpet valley floors, black bears munch huckleberries in the afternoon sun and bald eagles soar overhead. Kids (and adults) thrill to each day’s activities, from pedaling mountain trails and horseback riding to walking through meadows strewn with wildflowers. When you’re ready to cool off, turquoise lakes and crystalline rivers provide ample time for water play—be it swimming, canoeing or rafting. Mountain goats, bighorn sheep and bald eagles are our frequent companions during this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
