This morning, marvel at what you’ve accomplished as we shuttle back (3hrs) over the roads you have covered in the last three days. Incredible!

Alas, this is probably your last chance to grab a “moose nugget” necklace…

IMPORTANT ~ TRAVEL INFORMATION SPECIAL PACKING LIST FOR DAY 1

Glacier-Banff-Jasper Tour On Day 1, we meet in Whitefish, Montana, and bicycle to Glacier National Park. Since the National Park Service does not allow trailers over Logan Pass (our Day 2 route), we haul the trailer ahead to the east side of the park on the evening of Day 1 so await our arrival on the afternoon of Day 2.This means you’ll be separated from the trailer – and therefore some of your luggage – from the afternoon of Day 1 until the afternoon of Day 2. Please pack a separate small overnight bag with everything you might need for that time frame. We’ll carry these overnight bags inside the van, rather than the trailer, so they will stay with our group.

Vaccine or test: A negative Covid test will be required within 72 hours of departure for all non-fully vaccinated guests. or Proof of a completed Covid vaccination course can be used in lieu of a Covid test. A "completed Covid vaccination course" means that the guest has had 1 or 2 shots (depending on vaccine brand) and has completed the 2-week waiting period post final shot.
All of our guides are fully vaccinated.
