Example Itinerary
Your Families Itinerary
Hey Adventurer!
Based on your groups size, ability level and expectations; I created this itinerary for your time here. All day’s activities can be changed due to weather or other unforeseen events. There is so much to do, lets get you out there.
Day 1: Pick up a lunch kit, cooler and all your trail needs from us before you head up to Glacier. Coffee and breakfast for the early birds beating the crowds. Book a rafting trip on the Middle Fork or hike on one of Glacier’s many trails. We will let you know what to see, where to stop and what to bring for a great day. Make time for local spirits, craft beer and good food after you visit the park. Live music most nights.
Day 2: Get some bikes and gear delivered for a full day of riding. Have us get you a guide or shuttle for a some of the hundreds of trails in the area. Cold beverages waiting in the cooler and off to the lake for a swim and a evening boat ride. Dinner cruise or try out wake surfing. Dinner is a breeze, no matter where you are. Fine dining to bar food to food trucks, the valley pleases all pallets.
Day 3: Go try your luck at fishing in the morning on one of the many lakes or rivers in the area. After ripping lips, go check out the downtown of the closest town and shop local, grab some lunch and head back to the lake. Looking windy today, so lets go sailing. Hop aboard Salad Days and hoist the main. Get off in time for the local rodeo, go watch some live theater or stop by a Farmers Market.
Events, Activities and other must do’s!
My goal with BetaHouse is to get the most out of your day. We tell you of any events, live music and things that are happening around the valley during your stay . BetaHouse works with other guide services in the Flathead to make your trip perfect. If there is anything you want or must do please let us know and we can hopefully make your dreams come true. We provide overnight camping supplies, Camp craft and outdoor education classes, personal in home chefs, coolers for daily outings, 24 hour support while you’re here.
