Went on the 2 hour Glacier Getaway just outside of West Glacier National Park. Honestly, if it wasn't for the leaves changing this ride would have been just a walk through a wooded forrest. I would have hoped for more mountain views. Our trail guide was friendly but did not talk almost the entire trip, there were 3 of us, myself and another couple and it was an extremely quiet ride. Our guide did not speak unless a question was asked, which all questions ended about 10 minutes into the ride. Not that I want my guide to talk the entire time but every other trail ride I have been on they try to make small talk and get to know the people they are guiding along with giving information about the area. The most he talked was when he was explaining the safety tips and how to control the horses. Also there are no mounting blocks so if getting on the horse from the ground is going to be an issue this is not the place for you. Horses were well behaved and the ones we rode where a good weight and had nice coats, did see a few saddled underweight and coats looked poor. All in all if i had a choice I would not go again and would not recommend this ride for anyone, not worth the $70 dollars for the experience.
