The Cycling House crew calls Montana home, and we love to show off our breathtaking backyard. During this five-day cycling tour of Glacier National Park, you’ll experience some of the best routes the area has to offer. Going-to-the-Sun Road is a true bucket-list ride, surrounded by dramatic views of u-shaped valleys, mountain lakes and waterfalls.  No matter how many times you return to this special part of Montana, you’ll discover something different and uniquely beautiful each time.

Check out the rides here.

Highlights

  • Five days of guided, supported rides through Glacier National Park and the surrounding Flathead Valley
  • 5 nights at Good Medicine Lodge in beautiful Whitefish, Montana

Food

Using locally sourced ingredients, The Cycling House chefs create clean and delicious meals to fuel your week of riding. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included. Each meal is inventive and diverse – often inspired by our chefs’ global travels – and focuses on lean proteins, leafy greens and root vegetables. We prepare food specifically for endurance athletes and accommodate all dietary preferences and restrictions. 

Accommodations

In 2026, we’re bringing this trip back to one of our all-time favorite places—Whitefish, Montana—for a 5-night home-based adventure. We’ll be staying at The Good Medicine Lodge, a spot that holds a special place in our hearts. We’ve stayed here before and couldn’t be more excited to return!

ITINERARIES

Day 1

Welcome to Montana - Arrival Day

Guests will arrive in Montana, and our staff will do Glacier International (FCA) and hotel pickups. After you register, we will email a list of suggested hotels for guests planning to arrive early. Please email us your arrival/departure plans, including flight numbers.

Everyone will have time to settle into the accomodations and enjoy our first chef-prepared meal at Good Medicine Lodge.

After lunch, our mechanics will work on building guest bikes or fitting people to their rentals. We will depart for an afternoon shakeout spin once all the bikes are ready, and all the guests have arrived.

Arrival Spin

20 miles & 500′

Day 2

Star Meadows

We start the morning with a quick 15-minute shuttle west of Whitefish. The ride starts with a nice warm up on quiet roads before we get to make a game time decision. Gravel curious? We will have a road and gravel option. The gravel option is 12 miles of hard packed dirt roads and gets you nice views of Tally Lake, the deepest lake in Montana. No worries if you prefer pavement, this is a classic Whitefish ride up Star Meadows. The two options converge at the high point then its a quick decent back to Spencer Lake where we will shuttle back to Good Medicine Lodge.

  • 42 miles & 2,100′ (GRVL)
Day 3

Going-to-the-Sun Road (West Side)

Going-to-the-Sun Road is a true bucket-list experience—offering some of the most stunning views you’ll ever take in from the saddle. This legendary route winds through the heart of Glacier National Park, climbing across the Continental Divide and topping out at the breathtaking Logan Pass. The panoramic vistas at the summit are nothing short of spectacular—worth every pedal stroke and perfect for a scenic pause.

From the top, guests have options: continue descending the dramatic east side for an extended adventure or turn around and enjoy a thrilling descent back to Lake McDonald, where a well-earned lakeside lunch awaits before we shuttle home.

This ride also offers a fantastic chance to spot Glacier’s iconic wildlife—keep your eyes out for mountain goats, marmots, black bears, grizzlies, and more as you ride through one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in North America.

 Going-to-the-Sun Road 

  • 54 miles & 3,800′ 
  • 70 miles & 6,000′
Day 4

Upper Whitefish

After a couple of big days in the saddle, today is all about flexibility. We’ll all roll out from Good Medicine Lodge and cruise toward the head of Whitefish Lake. From there, guests can choose their own adventure—whether that’s heading up the iconic Big Mountain climb (it’s tough, but the views are unbeatable), or, for those craving even more, tackling the legendary Triple Crown route—a favorite challenge among Whitefish locals.

Upper Whitefish

  • 20 miles & 1,000′
  • 30 miles & 2,600′ 
  • 40 miles & 4,000′
Day 5

Polebridge

Today’s ride begins at Good Medicine Lodge, rolling east along scenic backroads that connect Whitefish to Columbia Falls. We’ll wind our way through peaceful countryside before crossing the beautiful North Fork of the Flathead River and heading towards Glacier National Park.

After entering Glacier, the views get really good and gradually climb to a high point before crossing back over the North Fork of the Flathead River. The final miles are on the North Fork Road and we get big views of the Rocky Mountains extending up into Canada. This lesser-known pocket of Glacier is a local favorite, and ending at Polebridge is a real treat.

We’ll finish the ride in Polebridge and have lunch and take a plunge in the river. It’s a perfect blend of riverside cruising, big climbs, and mountain magic.

My wife and I just did the Glacier ride with the Cycling House. This was my 3rd trip with them and the 1st for my wife. We did the ride on our Tandem and it was a great experience. The staff were exceptional, the accommodations and food were also exceptional. We're already talking about booking our next trip with them. A first class operation and team!
