Glacier Park Vacations from Austin-Lehman Adventures
Celebrating 100 years of Glacier
Known to the Native Americans as the “Shining Mountains” and the “Backbone of the World,” Glacier National Park preserves over a million acres of old growth forests, alpine lakes, rugged mountains and sweeping wildflower meadows. Boasting more than 750 miles of maintained trails, one of the most scenic stretches of paved road in North America and a river equally as suited for rafting as it is gazing at the surrounding beauty, the park’s unique, glacier-carved terrain is an adventurer’s paradise.
Hike backcountry trails for a jaw-dropping view of granite cliffs and jagged ice fields reflected perfectly in the pristine blue waters of Iceberg Lake. Step into the set of A River Run’s Through It as you raft the unspoiled waters of the Flathead. Bike the world-famous Going-to-the-Sun Road, snapping postcard-worthy photos of mountain goats, big horn sheep and grizzlies along the way. By night, raise a glass to your day’s adventure and to the park’s 2010 centennial before retiring to the comfort of your historic mountain resort, chalet or lodge.
*$100 from each of our Glacier Park vacations will go to ALA's Preserve-A-Park program.

A few more reasons why you've gotta go…
1. Going-to-the-Sun Road: This iconic stretch of highway spans 50 miles through Glacier park, around (and through) mountainsides and over the Continental Divide at Logan Pass.
2. Big Mountain: Hike the hill that, in winter, is transformed into a mecca for downhill skiing.
3. Trail of the Cedars: A relaxing hike through giant 80 foot cedar trees, colorful rock formations and breathtaking waterfalls.
4. The wildlife: Glacier is the only place in the continental U.S. that still has all of the predators that were present when Europeans first arrived in North America.
