Gateway To Glacier Trails

Developing and maintaining a network of trails within the Greater Glacier Ecosystem to foster stewardship and connect communities to our open spaces.

Gateway to Glacier Trail is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building connectivity through trails and paths in the Columbia Falls and Greater Glacier area. The organization began with an initial goal of completing a paved path from Hungry Horse to West Glacier and quickly expanded to additional trails projects in the Columbia Falls area.

We have successfully funded and completed a paved off-highway path from Hungry Horse to West Glacier, built a welcome center with a Gazebo and informational kiosks, an additional mile of paved path in Columbia Falls from the bridge to the waterpark, and have completed the River Trail. The Cedar Flats project is underway and will feature 25 miles of non-motorized multi-use singletrack trails for hikers, runners, bikers, backcountry horseman, and other recreationalists to enjoy. We are also happy to partner with local residents in the restoration of the Historic West Glacier Underpass.
