    About this trip

    This 5-day women’s adventure in Western Montana is the perfect blend of active exploration, stunning natural beauty, and meaningful connection. Centered around Glacier National Park and the vibrant town of Whitefish, the trip offers a taste of everything—from iconic hikes and alpine thrills to cozy evenings and group camaraderie. Whether you’re standing at the edge of Avalanche Lake, gliding down the alpine slide, or sipping wine with new friends, every day brings a new adventure with just the right balance of challenge and relaxation.

     Designed for women who love being outdoors and crave fresh air and fresh perspectives, this itinerary is about more than just miles on the trail. It’s about confidence, joy, and rediscovering the wildness within. With a supportive group, expert guidance, and time to both push yourself and unwind, you’ll return home feeling stronger, more connected, and completely recharged.

    Important Notes

    Activity Level – Moderate

    This trip is moderately active and designed for women who enjoy being on the move and exploring the outdoors at a comfortable pace. Most days include 3–6 miles of hiking on well-maintained trails with some elevation gain, particularly in Glacier National Park where alpine terrain can be uneven but rewarding. Activities like the alpine slide, or optional zip-line,  add bursts of fun physical movement, while built-in downtime and flexible options ensure participants can listen to their bodies and adjust as needed. A good level of overall fitness, comfort with walking for extended periods, and a sense of adventure will make the experience both manageable and deeply fulfilling.

    Weather

    The weather in Montana in July can range from the 70s-90s for highs and 40s-50s for lows. Be watching the weather to pack accordingly.

    Day 1-Hello Whitefish

    Aug 19 – Arrive in Whitefish, Settle In, Welcome Dinner

    Welcome to the wild beauty of Western Montana! After arriving in the charming mountain town of Whitefish this afternoon, you’ll settle into your cozy accommodations and start soaking up the fresh alpine air. Once everyone’s gathered, we’ll kick things off with a relaxing walk around Whitefish Lake or a casual wander downtown, where boutique shops and art galleries line the streets.

    In the evening, we’ll come together for a warm and welcoming dinner at a local favorite, where Montana flavors take center stage. Over shared stories and a toast to adventure, we’ll preview the week ahead and get to know each other. Whether you’re a first-timer or seasoned adventurer, this trip is all about connection, confidence, and a little adrenaline, too.

    Day 2-Waterfall Views

    Aug 20 – Glacier NP Hiking, Going-to-the-Sun-Road, Views

    Today we dive headfirst into the magic of Glacier National Park, one of the crown jewels of the Rockies. Our first hike leads us through towering cedar groves on the Trail of the Cedars, then winds upward to the breathtaking Avalanche Lake, where waterfalls tumble down cliffs into turquoise waters. It’s the perfect intro hike—energizing but accessible, with plenty of chances to stop, snap photos, and take it all in.

    After lunch by the lake or a nearby lodge, we’ll enjoy a scenic drive along the legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road, marveling at dramatic vistas and glacial valleys. Back in Whitefish, we’ll wind down with a hearty dinner and maybe even some lakeside sunset watching. This is what Montana is all about: big skies, bold views, and bonding in nature.

    Day 3 -Alpine Views

    Aug 21 – Logan Pass, Highline Trail & Mountain Chalet

    It’s time to hit one of Glacier’s most iconic hikes! We’ll make our way to Logan Pass, where the wildflower-filled meadows and soaring peaks set the stage for today’s adventures. Depending on the group’s vibe, you can choose the panoramic Highline Trail, a dramatic route that hugs the cliffs with jaw-dropping views at every turn, or opt for the equally rewarding Hidden Lake Overlook, a shorter hike with high chances of spotting mountain goats.

     

    Lunch is enjoyed trail-side with epic backdrops before a leisurely return down the scenic highway. This is our most visually stunning day—think postcards come to life—and you’ll return to Whitefish feeling like you just stepped into a nature documentary. Tonight, we’ll keep things relaxed with a casual dinner and plenty of time to share photos and stories from the trail.

    Accommodations: Hotel in Whitefish

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

    Activity: Hiking (about 12 miles with 800 ft elevation gain)

    Day 4-Fun on the Slides!

    Aug 22 – Whitefish Mountain Resort, Alpine Slides, & Chill Time

    After two big hiking days, it’s time to play! We’ll head to Whitefish Mountain Resort, where adventure takes a thrilling twist. Zip through the forest on the Alpine Slide, soar through the trees on a zipline tour, or ride the scenic gondola to the summit for 360-degree views of the Flathead Valley and Glacier’s distant peaks. You can make today as exhilarating or chill as you like—there’s even a treetop obstacle course if you’re feeling bold!

     

    Lunch will be served with a view at the summit café, and afterward, we’ll return to town for some well-earned downtime. Whether you prefer to unwind at the spa, poke around the local shops, or sip wine at a cozy tasting room, this afternoon is all yours. Tonight, we’ll gather for a hands-on cooking class or casual dinner party where laughter and connection take center stage.

    Aug 23 – Optional Hike & Farewell Brunch

    We’ll close out our Montana adventure with a gentle, soul-filling morning. For early risers, a sunrise walk at Lion Mountain Trail offers golden views and a peaceful goodbye to the peaks. Prefer to sleep in? No problem—your morning can be as slow and luxurious as you like. Journaling by the lake or just sipping coffee on the porch are all encouraged.

     We’ll wrap up our time together with a farewell brunch and a final group circle to reflect on the experiences, challenges, and joys we’ve shared. This trip is more than just mountains and trails—it’s about discovering your wild side, forming new friendships, and heading home feeling energized, empowered, and a little bit more free.

    Reviews

    What a fabulous trip to Greece and the islands of Santorini and Mykonos! This is my second trip with Chicas Abroad and both trips have been stellar. Last year I hiked the Camino De Santiago trail with the Chicas and had a blast. The hotels are top of the line. You won’t be disappointed. I love that everything is arranged for you and all you have to do is enjoy! No stress on vacation as Melanie and her trip leaders take care of everything. The activities and tours are carefully chosen and all have been fabulous. And you get to make new friends with your fellow travelers. If you are looking for a tour company that is top of the line, check out ChicasAbroad.com for all of their fabulous trips! I am already looking forward to my next trip with the Chicas!

    Just returned from 8 days in Greece with Chicas Abroad! What an amazing trip. From Athens to Santorini to Mykonos back to Athens. From the time I landed until the time I left I didn’t have to think about a thing. Everything was thoughtfully planned, including free time to explore and to see all of the relevant sights. It was a dream vacation. I have met wonderful ladies from all across the country, whom I will remain friends with for years to come. Melanie and Kathy were the most excellent Chicas guides! I loved every single minute. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

    I traveled to Greece with 2 friends from my hometown and we had a wonderful time. However, the Chicas Abroad leaders, Melanie and Kathy had all the details planned extremely well and everyone was so nice that I would not hesitate to take another Chicas’ trip on my own. What a confidence booster! It was a super experience all the way around. Great job ladies!

    This was my first trip with the Chicas. It will not be my last! The accommodations were top notch. The activity level was very active, we truly had great adventure. I learned so much thru the people I met. There was a real sence of belonging. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and fun as well. I started out with strangers but gained a new group of strong friends with these ladies. It was an unforgettable experience.

    This trip felt “intimate” and very cultural. I enjoyed meeting meeting the food artisans in their shops (pasta, chocolate, dairy). The chefs and owners of several restaurants came to our table to welcome us, and will always remember dinner at Monica’s family home.

    We could not have had the experience we had without your assistance. From the driver who picked us up from the airport to the driver of the 55 passenger bus the drivers were amazing. Having a guide for every excursion/tour was a must. Our tickets were ready, no lines to wait in, and having a knowledgeable guide was so appreciated!!! We were able to see everything we hoped to. Our time in Grimaldi was so special…we didn’t know what to expect. The people of Grimaldi were so kind and made us feel very welcomed. A trip of a lifetime that we were able to experience as a family🇮🇹❤️

    My niece and I went on this trip together and the memories and experiences we gained are something I will always cherish. The trip was perfectly planned, the group was full of kind and fun women, and the itinerary was challenging while also safe and enjoyable. I will definitely be checking back in to book a future Chicas Abroad trip!
