EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
Hike the trails of Glacier National Park's incredible landscapes while discovering the natural wonders of bears and berries, goats and glaciers, marmots and pikas. Explore the "Crown of the Continent's" dramatic scenery, shaped by geologic forces that continue to create hanging valleys, cirques, and knife-edged arêtes. Traverse Going-to-the-Sun Road through the Park and enjoy a special experience with three nights in the fabled Many Glacier Hotel, part of the Park's exceptional heritage.

• Enjoy the ambience of a bygone era with a stay in the fabled Many Glacier Hotel, part of the Park’s fascinating heritage.
• Learn about icons of the wild, grizzlies, mountain goats and moose, and see evidence of the powerful geological forces that created the spectacular scenery.
