When we scheduled our tour, we called ahead the night before and had booked for a early morning tour. When we arrived at McDaniel Lake Lodge the clerk couldn't find us on the list and told us that there were no tours for that time. She was so apologetic and explained that when we had called central booking that evening... More

Such a great day. Took 8 hour North Trail tour with Cajun Jim. He made the day. Delightful person, funny, knowledgable, accommodating. He knew the roads and tge vehicle and that made me feel safe. Saw a black bear almost immediately! Saw bighorn sheep. Lots of waterfalls and photographic places. Jim had lots of infirmation and history to share. Amazing... More

We went on the red bus tour on the last day of the season in 2012. We did the Going to the Sun Road tour, and overall we felt it was a great tour. Our tour guide, Jammer Sherri, was excellent! We saw some great views of the park, and learned a lot about its history. I would highly recommend... More

I can only speak for Joe the Jammer, our driver, but he definitely wins the prize for best driver. Full of interesting information about the park, and he might even pull out the old bear suit at Logan Pass. Very glad we had this, as it was a great way to see and learn about the park without worrying about... More

Very glad I wasn't navigating the twisting, winding roads! Too much to see to have to concentrate on driving.

We took the 8-hour tour of Going to the Sun road the last day of the season - weather was beautiful, scenery awesome and the driver/guide was entertaining. This is really the way to see the park. You can book the trip on the website where you book your Glacier Park room.

Spending any time in Glacier National Park is a great opportunity. Being in Glacier and taking a Red Bus tour is a slice of heaven. Keep this in mind when taking a Red Bus tour. The 'Reds' were built between 1936 and 1939. The average weight of a college aged male in the early 1900's was around 135 lbs. Today... More

Cute tradition to ride through the park in these red jammer buses. It allows everyone to get a break from driving and enjoy the park. However, I didn't find the tour to be informative; I learned a lot about the refurbishment of the buses and not a lot about the park and its wildlife. I don't think the jammers are... More

GOING TO THE SUN ROAD - lots of slow traffic but with awesome views. Like we said, leave the driving to someone else so you can enjoy a first class ride in a old time (yet safe) vehicle. Plenty of time, plenty of stops for picture taking, and plenty of tales and local knowledge. This was a surely a treat... More
