12:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Due to record amounts of snow, Glacier National Park will not officially open until June 17, 2008, so this is a chance to get a glimpse behind the scenes. The trip will begin with views of Lake MacDonald located just inside of Glacier National Park’s boundaries. Next stop is the Izaak Walton Inn for lunch and a chance to stretch your legs on one of their numerous hiking trails. Finally, weather permitting; the tour will end with a trip to the Mariah Pass, for a chance to overlook Glacier National Park.
