Announcement: Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the state of Montana has declared that mask or face covering use is required for ages five and older. All of our guests are required to arrive to their scheduled trips with a personal face mask or covering. Wearing a mask or cloth covering over the mouth and nose is required during all Swan Mountain Outfitters trips during the check-in process, during the mounting and dismounting process, as well as when social distancing is not possible during the trip.
Glacier National Park, otherwise known as the “Crown of the Continent”, stretches across thousands of miles of snow-capped Rocky Mountain peaks in Northwest Montana. The Glacier backcountry is a land of shining mountains, sweeping alpine views and aquamarine glacial waters you simply have to experience. And, what better way to do that than on horseback? The majority of Glacier’s most magical secrets are found off the beaten track and we can take you to them. We offer a variety of trail rides, where no two trips are the same. Or, for a truly unique experience, check out our drop camp services. All you have to do is decide which horseback riding adventure you want to embark on from the choices below!
Please keep in mind that availability of all trails in Glacier National Park is subject to change. Swan Mountain Outfitters reserves the right to change or cancel a ride at any time due to unfavorable trail conditions, inclement weather or the presence of wildlife.
