Gateway to Glacier

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, and an additional mile of paved path in Columbia Falls from the bridge to the waterpark. Trail construction is currently underway for our River Trail and Cedar Flats projects, and we are happy to partner with local residents in the restoration of the Historic West Glacier Underpass.
