Could you please advise about packing and luggage restrictions, as well as information regarding the day pack?

You are allowed one large suitcase per person and a book bag or duffel bag per person. This information is included in the travel documents.

What happened to our drive to Polebridge? I dont see it on the new itinerary.

You do visit Pole bridge on Day 5.

want to see wildflowers what is the best time to go?

The best time to see wildflowers in Missoula at the Glacier National Park is June, July and August.

What is the single supplement for the Glacier National Park tour

The single supplement is $3699.00

Are there tours available for 2 families (9 persons total) to join? We want to see Glacier National Park and have a lot of flexibility in our time.

Yes we can book 9 people on one tour that has availability. Our van holds 14 people.

Do you have dates available for 2025?

We do, we are working hard to get them uploaded in TourRadar for you to book! Keep an eye out, it should be soon.

What kind of scheduling do you have then for May 2025?

We do not have a scheduled departure for May of 2025. It isn't the best time to be exploring Glacier because the park is still transitioning from winter to summer. May 1 – June 30 Early Season, trails are often muddy and covered in puddles or flowing water at lower elevations. Water crossings are deep, swift, and cold. Seasonal suspension and plank bridges start to be installed in late May. Expect snow cover at higher elevations and be prepared with map and compass skills for route finding, and ice axe and crampons for crossing steep slopes. Snow conditions can change daily: icy in the morning, soft in the afternoon. Backcountry Campgrounds earliest scheduled openings begin June 15th, but the Belly River region in the northeast and the North Fork region in the northwest are often accessible in May. We can do a custom tour for you if you would be interested in that.

please rate the difficulty level of the hikes, and the overall pace of the trip

You do need to be able to walk/hike on uneven ground for 1-3 miles at a time. Elevation loss and gain averages between 50 and 300 feet.

Is the tour fully guided? Can you make my flight reservations? If yes, do the flight reservations include transfers between airport and hotel, and back?

Is there a premium cost for a single traveler? Is there a discount for AARP members? Is there a discount for AAA members? What is TourRadar and how are they associated with Southwest Adventure Tours?

The tour I was interested Glacier National Park is sold out so I was seeking an alternative. I prefer late August. Somewhere departing between the 23 and 27 but can be a little flexible.

The only Glacier tour I have any availability on is the tour that departs on July 29th. If you would like to join us on this tour please let me know asap.

  Is that the total price for a single traveler? Or in addition to the price for double travelers?

  We would like to book a tour but now may have other family members who are interested in coming. There is a possible 16-18 people who might want to come. Can you accommodate this group?
- Southwest Adventure ToursOperator•Written October 2024
  Our vans only hold 13-14 passengers you would have to have 2 vans. We wouldn't be able to do this tour off of our guaranteed departure rate, it would have to be a custom tour.

  One of my sons is graduating from college and looking for a job. I am hoping that when I book this trip, he will be able to take time off from his work to enjoy it. If he is not able to go on the trip, I wanted to ask what the cancellation policy is.

  Traveler•Written November 2024
  When we took a Tourradar trip to Costa Rica (which we really enjoyed!), we had some days where we could choose what tours we wanted to do on a particular day. Is that true for this tour also?
- Southwest Adventure ToursOperator•Written November 2024
  This is a group tour, so there will be other travelers joining you. Due to the group setting, modifications to the itinerary aren't possible, so you'll need to follow the planned schedule as it is. However, if you'd like to take time off from the itinerary at any point, you're welcome to do so; just note that you'll need to make your way back to the accommodation on your own.
