A half-day adventure experience that offers a unique view of the majestic forest as you walk on a canopy board-walk suspended 30-70 feet above the forest floor. Also includes a 1 mile bike ride followed by a 1/2 mile hike to begin this adventure. Walk in the Treetops is available to guests ages 10 years and up with a minimum height requirement of 54″ tall.
Alpine Zip Line
There is 4 separate spans connected by short walks, each with 2 parallel cables for dual riding action. The harnesses used are paragliding-style seat harnesses. Zippers can expect to reach speeds of 50 mph or more as they travel more than 100 feet above the ground on custom-made trolleys.
Alpine Slide
On the slope beneath Chair 6 will be a serpentine, U-shaped track for a ride called an Alpine Slide. Riders will take a wheeled sled up the lift, enter the track, and then careen down to the bottom as fast as they’re daring enough to go. Speed is controlled with a handbrake on each sled, and the track as high walls on fast corners that let the sleds take advantage of the physics involved in high-speed gravity-fed downhill rolling.
Glacier National Park Lake Cruises
Step onto a classic boat and you will be glided across beautiful alpine lakes nestled among Glacier’s peaks. You can see a spectacular side of Glacier not visible from the road. And the Captain will share with you his love for and knowledge of this incredibly special place. Besides breath-taking beauty and interesting narration you can count on your boat tour for these opportunities: Photographic stops, optional guided hikes with later return and all weather seating and easy boarding.

The Montana Adventure Company, located in the lobby of Grouse Mountain Lodge, can arrange half-day and full-day guided trips that include all equipment for both lake fishing and fly fishing.
The Whitefish area is home to over 1,500 lakes in a 50-mile radius, including the 3,350-acre Whitefish Lake, as well as Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. The North Fork and main stem of the Flathead River are listed as blue-ribbon trout rivers.
Stream fishing is open the third Saturday in May through November 30. Some streams have extended whitefish and catch-and-release fishing for trout from December through the third Saturday in May. Lake fishing is open the entire year, with some exceptions, which makes for great winter ice fishing.
