‘There is a long standing history of horseback riding in and around Glacier Park. In fact, the first Park visitors arrived via the Great Northern Railroad and then spent days, and sometimes even weeks, touring the Park staying along the way at tent camps or backcountry chalets that were set approximately one day’s horseback ride apart from each other.

Swan Mountain Outfitters is honored to be carrying on a nearly century long tradition of trail riding in and around Glacier National Park. We don’t think there could be a better way to experience Glacier, so we invite you, your family and your friends to come and join us on a horseback adventure through this unspoiled and awe-inspiring national treasure.

We offer a variety of horseback services including:

The only trail rides inside Glacier Park and now in West Glacier!
Overnight horseback trips from our West Glacier Corral
Our Cowboy Cookout Ride – 3 hours of riding with a steak dinner
Full day and multi-day saddle paddle packages
Customized Glacier Park drop camp trips
Packing services into Glacier’s backcountry
Packing services to guests of Sperry Chalet and Granite Park Chalet
Our most popular offering is our trail ride where experienced wranglers guide you on horseback tours ranging from one hour to a full day in length. We offer these trail rides from four stunning locations:

Apgar Corral – near the main entrance on the west side
Lake McDonald Corral – across the road from Lake McDonald Lodge
Many Glacier Corral – across from Many Glacier Hotel on the east side
West Glacier Corral – behind the Glacier Rawhide Trading Post, about 2 miles from the West Entrance to Glacier National Park
We can accommodate riders of all skill levels. The horses are gentle and our staff is friendly and ready to meet you. Let us help you make your Glacier vacation an experience to remember for years to come!’

From its beginnings in 1955 Japan, Masahisa Goi dedicated his life to spreading the message conveyed on the peace poles and today there are tens of thousands of poles in more than 180 countries throughout the world.  There are peace poles located at the Pyramids of Giza, at the magnetic North Pole and at Hiroshima, Japan.

The peace pole at the Historic Tamarack Lodge and Cabins was inaugurated in September 2010 in recognition of the 100 year anniversary of Glacier National Park which is also celebrated as the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.

‘The high mountain peaks of Montana’s Glacier Country accumulate large amounts of snow each winter, which supply an abundance of water for the three forks of the Flathead River. Every spring folks from around the world begin to arrive around May, to enjoy the mountains, valleys and rivers, eager to test their skill and to challenge the whitewater of the Middle Fork of the Flathead River.

Great Northern Whitewater runs a fleet of High side self-bailer rafts ranging from 12′ to 16′ in length. Rafts accommodate 6-10 people. Most of the trips are paddleboat guided. Oar-guided trips are also available.

Nicolas and Victoria Lee would like to personally invite you and your family to join us this summer as Great Northern Resort celebrates over 30 years of whitewater rafting.
