This historic tunnel was built in the 1930s by Civilian Conservation Corp for horses and early park tours, it features exceptional architecture. The beginning of this route shares the trail with the popular hike to Iceberg Lake. Just past Ptarmigan Falls, at approximately 3 miles the route forks from the Iceberg trail and begins an aggressive uphill climb through meadows to Ptarmigan Lake. From the lake it is additional 800 feet up a barren slope to the tunnel. After walking through this 250 ft. tunnel (6ft. wide by 9 ft. long) which cuts through Ptarmigan Wall, admire the burst of red rock on the other side, and the stunning views of Natoas Peak, Crosley Ridge, and the Belly Rivers as it flows into Elizabeth Lake. Depending on snowpack, the tunnel doors will open in July and close in early October so be sure to confirm the status at the ranger station before starting your adventure.

This loop ride begins on Boulder Road and rides through the small town of Pony then passes by Cataract Creek Reservoir and to the Lower Mason Lake. Views of the lake are gorgeous and there is great chance to see moose or other wildlife. Return down to Old Miners Cabin road through Mammoth.

Smith River is a pristine river that offers an excellent river trip. Best to plan on minimum of 3 days and 2 nights. It flows through a colorful canyon with plenty of wildlife, spectacular scenery and good fishing. The river requires a float permit by calling Montana Fish, and Wildlife. You must also declare your boat campsites before leaving. The permits are a first-come, first-served system. The highlight of the trip is a deep limestone canyon with towering rock formations and thick forests. Best float times are May through June before the water gets too low from irrigation. Flows can pick back up in September for a Fall trip where you might find some solitude. Be prepared for cold and rainy weather which is common even in the warm months.

This is the longer of two loops which includes the Southside Trail and the Red Beds trail. You can also include the Valley View section which would add almost a mile.

Iceberg Lake is a popular hike in Glacier National Park. After a steep beginning the rest of the hike has a comfortable, mild elevation gain. Watch closely as a junction approaches within the first mile. As with many other trails in the park, be cautious of the bears, it is common for this trail to be closed because of frequent bear activity. Near the last part of the hike watch closely for mountain goats and bighorn sheep on the grassy slopes above and to the right. There are amazing chunks of ice that float around the lake, usually until September, but the “icebergs” are larger and more scenic in July and August.
