One Day in Glacier National Park: An Itinerary

Planning for 2026 tours and beyond is on the horizon, and if Western Montana and a visit to Glacier National Park are part of the plan, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide for you. With over 1 million acres to explore, Glacier National Park offers endless opportunities for adventure. To help you make the most of it, we’ve created an itinerary of top experiences. And while it’s ideal to take your time and fully immerse yourself in this treasured landscape, sometimes a day is all you have. From driving the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road, to soft-adventure activities like a scenic river float or historic boat tour, our new itinerary is here to provide inspiration and information on bringing group tours to Glacier National Park during the peak summer season.

Student Tours
in Western Montana

Many student travel itineraries focus on major urban hubs like Washington, D.C., New York City or Chicago. However, Western Montana’s Glacier Country offers a different kind of classroom—one defined by wide-open spaces, hands-on learning and experiences that merge adventure with education. Student groups can explore pristine public lands, engage directly with scientists and cultural educators, and participate in activities that encourage discovery and teamwork. The result is a tour beyond sightseeing, leaving students with knowledge, perspective and memories that last well beyond their time in Montana.

Add Agritourism
to Any Itinerary

Agritourism combines Montana’s top two industries—tourism and agriculture—and offers groups the chance to experience agricultural life firsthand at local farms, ranches, wineries and various agricultural businesses. Groups might find themselves participating in diverse activities, from picking fresh Flathead cherries and churning cheese at a local creamery to herding cattle by horseback or trekking with llamas. We’ve assembled a four-day agritourism itinerary for groups and FIT clients. This curated travel plan showcases some of the best experiences in our region, connecting with the land, heritage and culture of Western Montana.
