Adventures & Art: Introducing Our Local Artist Partners at Glacier Hikes & Bikes
Whether you’re stopping in to gear up for a sunset e-bike tour or returning from a day of snowshoeing at Lake McDonald, the Glacier Hikes & Bikes storefront in Columbia Falls has always been about celebrating the rugged beauty of Montana.
This season, we’re taking that a step further. We are thrilled to announce that our shop is now a local gallery space featuring two incredible Montana creators: Creative Combinations MT and Etienne Films.
Capturing the Light: Photography by Etienne Films
There is a specific kind of magic in the way light hits the peaks of Glacier National Park, and no one captures it quite like Etienne Films.
We now have a curated selection of framed professional photography available in-shop. These aren't just photos; they are windows into the backcountry. From the hidden corners of the North Fork to the iconic vistas of the Sun Road, these pieces allow you to take a piece of the "Crown of the Continent" home with you.
What to look for: Large-scale framed prints that highlight the dramatic scale and quiet moments of the park.

Forged in Montana: Metal Art by Creative Combinations MT
If you're looking for something that matches the industrial, hardy spirit of the Flathead Valley, you have to see the work from Creative Combinations MT.
Their custom metal artwork brings a modern, tactile edge to Montana’s natural icons. Whether it’s a silhouette of a mountain range or a unique piece of wall decor, these metal works are designed to last a lifetime—much like the memories made on our guided tours.
What to look for: Intricate metal cutouts and mountain-inspired designs that fit perfectly in a cabin or a modern home.
