Skip the drive and the parking: our shuttle leaves the shop in Columbia Falls at 11:00 am and drops you at the Avalanche Lake trailhead, the perfect starting point for riding Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Hop on for a seamless biking adventure in Glacier National Park. Departing from our shop at 7309 Hwy 2 E, we transport you and your bike directly to the Avalanche Lake trailhead, where you begin your ride on one of the most scenic roads in the world. In the afternoon the shuttle brings you back to the shop; in past seasons the return has been around 4 to 5 pm.

The Bike

Bike rental is not included; please reserve your e-bike separately, or bring your own bike.

The Ride

“These guys are awesome and they rent great equipment! I had a large group of friends coming to visit. We have some e-bikes and needed to rent five additional bikes. Kate and Brandon went above and beyond helping us coordinate and shuttle everyone for a great outing in the park. I really appreciate their incredible service!”

“Glacier Hikes & Bikes was wonderful to work with. I rented a bike and took their shuttle to the ride starting point. They were prompt, professional, and provided a lot of helpful information. This was my favorite "extra" during my visit to Glacier National Park.”

Karen JohnsonJuly 2026

“Biking the GTTSR was one of our top adventures from our Glacier trip! The entire process from booking the bikes and shuttle was seamless- Brandon, Kate, and team were very knowledgeable and helpful from beginning to end. I highly recommend Glacier Hikes and Bikes!”
