One of the most amazing highlights of Glacier National Park is a drive on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. This engineering marvel spans 50 miles through the park's wild interior with some of the best sights in northwest Montana.  Our tour will highlight Glacier's natural features relevant to the Blackfeet Nation, past and present.  Spiritual and philosophical perspectives are interpreted in Blackfoot life and commonly used plants and roots for nutrition and medicine are pointed out. Our guides are life residents of the reservation, knowledgeable in many facets of Blackfeet tribal history and culture. You will have some free time after the tour. (B)

This evening we'll get together and have dinner at a casual dinning restaurant in the local area. (B,D)

Thursday, June 25: Waterton Lakes National Park, Canada

We will take a day trip to the Canadian side of Glacier National Park known as Waterton Lakes National Park. Waterton is where the Canadian mountains meet the vast rolling prairies, so there's an incredible variety of flowers and animals.  The area is a haven for moose, elk, mule deer, and bighorn sheep, and both grizzly and black bears are found in the park.  The parks have been designated the Waterton/Glacier International Peace Parks (a World Heritage site) to commemorate the "long history of peace and friendship" between the United States and Canada. (B)

Friday, June 26: Glacier Chaser Gondola, Hiking

Today we go to Whitefish for a ride on the Glacier Chaser Gondola to the 7,000-foot summit of Big Mountain. Across the valley below stretches Flathead Lake and the Alp-like crests of Glacier National Park.  A visit to the U.S. Forest Service Environmental Education Center located in the Summit House will showcase outstanding displays of plants, animals, and the geology of the area.  

After lunch it's time for a hike. The Danny On Trail is the most popular trail in the Park.  Along the trail and at the summit enjoy vistas of the Flathead Valley below and long-distance views of mountains of Glacier National Park; the Canadian Rockies; and the Bob Marshall, Great Bear, Scapegoat, and Cabinet wilderness areas. The view from the top is 360 degrees of alpine wonder.  The Danny On Trail is one of the few national recreation trails in the nation that can be accessed by chairlift. We will return to Kalispell in the afternoon where we will gather in the evening for our farewell dinner.  (B,D)
