Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Glacier Hiking & Geothermal Cave Pools Tour?

A: I'd recommend layers since you're starting at such a high elevation! Wear moisture-wicking base layers, a warm mid-layer, and a waterproof jacket. Don't forget sturdy hiking boots and maybe some thermal socks for the hike up St. Mary's Glacier. You might get a bit sweaty, but you'll want to be warm and dry at the hot springs!

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Can kids join?

A: Great question! The tour is generally suitable for kids aged 10 and up, but it really depends on their ability to hike at high altitudes. If your kids are active and can handle a moderate hike, they'll likely have a blast. Just be sure to keep an eye on them, especially near the glacier!

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

A: If the weather looks bad, the company will try to reschedule you for another day. They keep safety as a priority! Just make sure to check the weather forecast before you go and stay in touch with them for any updates. It can be snowy up there, especially in winter, so always have a backup plan.

Just did the Glacier Hiking Tour! Here’s my experience!

Hey everyone! I just got back from the Glacier Hiking & Geothermal Cave Pools Tour and wow, it was amazing! We started at St. Mary's Glacier, and the view from the top was totally worth the climb. So breathtaking! The hot springs afterward were perfect for relaxing those sore muscles. Also, Beau Jo's Pizza was a great stop for lunch; the crust is unique and super tasty. Highly recommend it for anyone considering this as a gift or just a fun day out!

Thinking about gifting the Glacier Hiking Tour, any tips?

I’m considering this for my sister’s birthday, but she’s not super active. Is it doable for her? I love the idea of combining the hike with the hot springs! What’s the best time of year to go?
