These trails are NOT inside Glacier National Park.

Our West Glacier Corral is conveniently located on Highway 2, just 1.5 miles outside the West entrance of Glacier National Park. You will check in for your ride at the Activity Desk inside the Crown of the Continent Discovery Center. Our rides depart from behind the building and head out past private land and onto public land managed by the United States Forest Service. All rides are conducted at a walking pace only.

Check-in at the stated time, but please plan to be with us for an extra 45 minutes for paperwork, mandatory safety briefing, and the loading process that is in addition to the listed “time in the saddle”. Time in the saddle is also an approximate.

Need help choosing a ride? Check out this page: Which Ride Should You Choose? While budget and schedule are likely the first things you will determine, your physical fitness is a huge factor and is very important to consider before you even hit the trail: All of our riders are expected to mount the horse from the ground without a mounting block. Be sure to discuss your abilities and expectations with all the members of your party.

Combine two Montana classics- western riding and grilled steaks! Your cookout adventure begins with a 2 hour horseback ride. As you ride through an aspen/lodgepole forest, keep an eye out for the wide variety of seasonal wild flowers and wildlife. Once you arrive at our cookout camp, dismount your horse and enjoy a light appetizer as your guides prepare a traditional cowboy dinner of steaks* over open flame, corn on the cob, green salad, beans, buns, and s’mores for dessert. With your tummy full, you’ll be just a short stroll back to your car.

Alcoholic beverages are not included, but are available for purchase to riders 21+. You’ll check in at the Crown of the Continent Discovery Center which offers Montana made wine, beer, or spirits that riders can add to their meal.

If members of your group are unable to ride, we have meal-only pricing of $50. These group members can enjoy an activity of their own until it’s time to join the riders around the campfire to enjoy the cookout together. 

*Beginning Sep 23rd, ride will check in at 9 am and feature a burger lunch instead of a steak dinner
