This was our first snowmobile experience. We have ridden our motorcycle to 47 of the lower 48 States, with over 750,000 miles in the saddle, so I was pretty sure this was within my abilities. I made our reservation on line, & Lois from Swan Mtn called to follow up to insure we had all the bases covered. We elected to take the clothing option as we were flying in. We brought our base, silks & thermals with fleece pants & vests. Wish I had bought my motorcycle gloves instead of the ski gloves I did bring, oh well. We arrived on time for our half day guided tour, Hannah got us fitted with outer clothes & helmets & lead us to the trail head. There we met Cooper our guide. Hannah reviewed the operation of the sled & safety issues. Cooper selected our sleds, told us about the trail & off we went. The trails were challenging to me as a newbie, especially not counter-steering like the motorcycle. I spilled us twice due to not carrying enough speed through 2 turns, but Cooper was right there to pull us up & get us going again. This was our first time on a sled & after 30-45 minutes I got the hang of it. So what does it boil down to? Cooper, our guide, did a fantastic job of gearing our speed to our slowest rider but still kept it challenging for me, nothing like the need for speed even at 64! He was right there when we needed him, & his instruction built my confidence. I was comfortable with a very tight, 3-Point turn without getting off the machine. The downside, time went by too fast! Next time a full day. Great job by Cooper & Hannah. As a first timer I would not hesitate to suggest my children ride with the Swan Mountain gang!

This shop is wonderful! I would rate it as one of the very best in the entire Flathead Valley. Its clean and beautifully curated. There are many separate vendors within the shop and the goods they all sell change continually. Its a great place to look for Glacier Specific items. We visit this shop multiple times a year...its that good and the staff are wonderful. Prices and goods for all tastes and budgets. The shop has been open during Covid with logical precautions. I would encourage visiting and shopping there to help them stay in business. You will be amazed at all the goods offered for sale there. It is not like so many shops which all buy from the same wholesale markets to stock their stores.

My family was blessed beyond measure to work with Tom and Reuben during our recent trip to Glacier! They run a great operation and Reuben made sure we had the cleanest Jeep in town. They also helped us plan a variety of things to do in and around Glacier National Park. We were able to have amazing adventures in a Jeep thanks to this dynamic duo. Looking forward to our next visit!

Tucked in the back of a Cenex gas station is a unique attraction everyone is sure to enjoy. Enter a casual convenience store just outside of Glacier National Park, but beware because this isn't your average gas station. Nestled in the back is an 8-seat theater room. This is where you will experience a state-of-art virtual story, complete with interaction and intrigue. After adorning a special headset, and before the show starts, you will view your entry ticket as it magically comes to life, interacting with you and foreshadowing the mystery yet to come.

Thanks Ed for setting us up and showing us where to launch. We had four kayaks and all of the necessary accompaniments. It was a great day on Hungry Horse Lake. Ed also has some awesome electric bikes and there are great paths along the Flathead River.
