Where to Ride?

E-Bike Rides For Glacier National Park, Whitefish, MT & Flathead Valley

We are building out the most comprehensive list of e-bike trails and rides to do in Glacier National Park, Whitefish, MT and the Flathead Valley. If you would like to rent or buy an e-bike to ride these trails, please click here or come see us in our Whitefish store.

Important Note: Our WHERE TO RIDE PAGE has lots of great places to ride your e-bike and is growing rapidly with great rides! However, we do want to point out that e-bikes are NOT allowed on the Whitefish Legacy Partners Trail System. You will find their rides here, and want to emphasize that this trail system is a non-motorized trail system and e-bikes are not allowed on these trails. Thanks for your understanding. 

Going-To-The-Sun Road E-Bike Ride

Probably one of the most spectacular rides you can do in the lower US is the famous Going-To-The-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. This unbelievably beautiful ride is one that you will never forget and one that we highly recommend. This ride is up to 32-42 miles long round trip depending on where you start and how far up the forest service allows you to go (see info below).

Very Important: This ride can only be done early season while most of the road is closed to cars. This is normally from May 1st to July 1st. Springtime biking is allowed on the main road while the National Park Service is working on snow removal. You can ride from where the gate is closed all the way up to where they are snow plowing or often all the way to Logan Pass depending on what the park service allows at the time.  You can get all the information here: https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/directions.htm. Also check out the Going to the Sun Road biking page: https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/bicycling.htm

Second Important Note: you will need to pay the entrance fee into the park or use your park pass for entry.  

Third Important Note: Vehicle Reservations: You will need a vehicle park registration as of May 26, 2023. You can get the pass here: https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10087086 . Also, you can learn more about the pass here: https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/vehicle-reservations.htm . A portion of vehicle reservations for each area were released 4-months in advance. The remaining reservations will be released 24 hours in advance. 24-hour advanced reservations become available on a rolling basis starting May 25. This will occur the day prior to your visit at 8 am MDT. If you want a pass, you need to be on at 8am!

Getting There: Enter Glacier National Park West Entrance (Apgar). Once in the park you will follow the signs to Going-To-The-Sun Road and take it as far as they allow. Where the gate is closed is where you will start your ride. The road closure starts at Lake McDonald Lodge (early spring) and then opens to Avalanche Trailhead (6 miles up the road from Lake McDonald). 

Where To Park: You will find parking areas not too far from where the road is closed (within .25 miles or so). Head through the various lots until you find a place to park. Be patient as finding parking can be challenging and will probably take you a few minutes. It is worth the hassle - trust us! 

When to ride: Overall, it takes a reasonably fit person about 4 hours to bike from Lake McDonald Lodge to Logan Pass. Coming down is faster, but it’s still at least half a day’s adventure to bike the entirety of the ride. This does not include the time off the bike to take photos, eat, and enjoy the views. If you get there before 9:30 AM, there is less traffic, and you'll increase your chances of seeing wildlife. If you get there later in the day, you will often enjoy a warmer ride.  

What to be aware of: Although you are on a powerful e-bike, the ride to the top still takes moderate effort and you will be required to pedal (with help) all the way up. There are no services along between Lake McDonald and Logan Pass so make sure to bring enough water and snacks for your day's adventures. Check out the weather beforehand as Glacier National Park can be unpredictable. Temperatures are usually at least ten degrees cooler up at Logan Pass than those at lower elevations, so it is good to wear layers. Allow extra time for stops so you can rest and enjoy the beautiful views.

Restrooms: Located behind the Apgar Education Center or across from the Lake McDonald boat launch. There are also restrooms available at the “The Loop" and then again at Logan Pass.

What to Bring: Bear Spray (required to ride in Glacier), Breathable Layers, First Aid Kit, Flat tire repair kit, Gloves, Pack a lunch/snacks, Raincoat/Jacket, Shoes, Sunglasses, Water, Water Bottle.

Bears: In April is when you will typically see bears emerging from hibernation. We require that every party carries a bear spray with them and have it in an accessible location.

The Ride: Going-To-The-Sun Road ride is (up to) either 42 miles round trip from Lake McDonald Lodge or 32 miles round trip from Avalanche Trailhead. Starting at Lake McDonald (Mile 11) with a relatively flat start or Avalanche Trailhead (Mile 16) slowly increases to a steady climb after Avalanche Creek. Here are some key mile marker points of interest.

·       Mile 11 – Lake McDonald Lodge  

·       Mile 12 – McDonald Falls, McDonald Creek

·       Mile 16 – Avalanche Trailhead/Trail of the Cedars 

·       Mile 17 – Red Rock Point

Whitefish, MT E-Bike Rides (5 Options)

Whitefish, MT is an absolutely awesome town, full of energy and enjoyment for the entire family! We think the best way to really experience the town is on an e-bike. Whitefish has a myriad of sidewalks, bike/walking paths and bicycle lanes to help you get around town. You should also consider riding through some of our unique neighborhoods to really get a feel of our town. 

Where to ride from: You can launch from anywhere in Whitefish to do any of these rides. Your bike comes with a phone holder on the handlebars. Enter any of these locations into your mapping app and choose ‘bike’ as your mode of transport and enjoy your journey. 

We have a few recommendations for you to consider: 

Whitefish City Beach: Ride here to hang out on the beach and take a dip in clean mountain water. (We don’t think your vacation would be complete without a swim in Whitefish Lake.) This park has a beach with a designated swimming area, grassy areas, gazebos, and picnic tables for you to enjoy. You can also purchase some incredible ice cream from Sweet Peaks during the summer. Learn more here.

Whitefish State Park: We love the ride to Whitefish State Park. The ride is a mix of sidewalks, bike paths and road travel. There is a $4 entrance fee to the park.

After the bike path ends, you will be on the regular road for about 1 mile (you will see signs for the park).  This day-use area has incredible views of Whitefish Lake and cool places to hang out. This is the ideal location for a picnic or a quick swim. Learn more here.  

Lakeshore Drive: This is a beautiful ride that takes you along the shores of Whitefish Lake. To do this ride, you will follow the above instructions to Les Mason State Park, but instead of turning into the park, you will continue on the road you are on as far as you would like to take it. It is 6 miles from Les Mason State Park to where the road ends. The entire ride from downtown Whitefish is around 20 miles round trip. (IMPORTANT: The road narrows after Les Mason Park and you share it with cars. If you do this ride, know that it is narrow and you will be sharing it with many cards and bike riders.)

Upper Whitefish Road: This is a dirt road with lots of riding options. As you travel down this road you will find cool places to explore and other roads and trails to ride on. This is a great place for huckleberry picking in the spring and early summer and just an overall stunning place. We will give you a couple of options for this ride:

First Option: If you continue past Les Mason for 4 miles you will see the dirt road on the right side with clear signs that say “Upper Whitefish Road”. This is a dirt road with beautiful views and dirt trails and roads from the main road. If you are renting from us and have a fat tire Mountain Bike - this will be a great place to explore.

This ride is a blast and perfect for all fitness levels. The ride is 10 miles one way or 20 miles round trip.

Trail: This trail is a super fun multi-use that is open to walkers, runners, bikers, skaters, etc. It is a mix of paved trail, smooth gravel trail and roads.

Getting There from Whitefish & Where to Park: Head East on HWY 40 towards Glacier for about 15 minutes then turn off HWY 2 by South Fork Drive or Canyon Rd on the right side. There are lots of places to park in that area. Once you are parked, you will see the sidewalk or path, jump on your bikes and get on the path and start an awesome ride into Glacier.

About the ride: The Gateway to Glacier Trail is a scenic Montana ride on paved trails and smooth gravel that takes you all the way to the west entrance of Glacier National Park. This ride is a blast and perfect for all fitness levels. The ride is 10 miles one way or 20 miles round trip.

Note: Once you are in West Glacier, there is another option to keep riding into the park as you can get into the park on the Apgar Bike Trail bypassing the entrance station. Once in West Glacier ride past Freitas Bar and across the bridge. Immediately after the bridge on the right-hand side is the beginning of the trail that you can take to Apgar Village.

Important Notes For The Ride: The trail crosses HWY 2 from the south side to the north side just as you enter the town of Coram. This crossover takes place at HWY 2 and Seville Lane where the trail ends on one side and begins on the other. Second, during your ride to Glacier, there are 2 deviations from the Gateway to Glacier Trail worth mentioning. Those come between mile markers 147 & 148 and the other between mile markers 151 & 152. In each case, the path ends right at old HWY 2 and you take a left onto HWY 2 and ride it for 0.7 miles until the road ends and the path picks back up. As you near GNP, the trail then turns into a sidewalk that curves into GNP and you will enter in West Glacier community. This is a wonderful place to stop, grab a bite to eat and drink, and use the restroom before heading back to Hungry Horse.

Camas Road E-Bike Ride (West Glacier - Inside Glacier National Park)

About The Ride: This is a great ride. We did this ride (23 miles) there in early 2023 and absolutely loved it. It is on a paved road and you share this ride with cars and bikes. The road is plenty wide making this a good biking road. You will enjoy beautiful mountain views along with Lake McDonald, McGee Meadows, and the Huckleberry Lookout trailhead. Absolutely gorgeous! You can ride 22-25 miles and there are other roads you can take from this road. There is a 900-foot elevation gain so you have nice climbs followed by fun downhill sections.

Two Options For This Ride: 

From West Glacier: Go into the West Glacier/Apgar entrance. At the stop sign turn left (the opposite way of Going To The Sun Road). Head up the road 2.3 miles and there is parking on the right side just past Fish Creek Campground turn-off. From there you will get on your bikes and head west. You will stay on that road for the entire ride. A few miles into the ride, you will leave the park. At around 11 miles you will cross the river and dead end at North Fork Road. This is a great place to take a break and enjoy the beautiful scenery. After that, you will head back toward your vehicle. The total ride is around 22 miles. 

From The North Fork Rd: This trailhead is 23 miles from Colombia Falls on mostly a dirt road. To get there you will travel from Whitefish toward Colombia Falls on HWY 40. Once in Columbia Falls, you will turn left onto Nucleus Ave. Stay on Nucleus until hits North Fork Frontage Rd and then take a right onto this road. This will turn into North Fork Road. Follow this road for 22 miles until you run into Camas Road on the right side. Right past Camas Rd, you will find plenty of parking there on the right side. From there you will jump on your bikes and head across the bridge toward GNP. You can ride all the way until the Apgar Visitor Center 12 miles away (or 24 miles round trip). You can also turn around at the turn to the Fish Creek, which makes the ride 2 miles shorter. If you turn toward Fish Creek, there is a nice picnic place down on the right side.

One thing to know: There is about a 900-foot climb on the road, but the climb is very doable on the e-bikes. Be cautious on the downhills as you can get going super fast. 

Very Important: There is a bicycle entry fee to enter the park. E-Bikes are allowed only on paved roads and unpaved roads. E-Bikes are not allowed on any park hiking trails or in any backcountry areas.

Great Northern Rails To Trails E-Bike Ride - Kalispell, Kila, Somers 

Rails to Trails ride is 22 miles end to end from the town of Somers on the north shore of Flathead Lake, west to Kila bordering the Smith Lake Waterfowl Production Area. Much of the trail is built on former Great Northers Railroad beds, making it perfect for biking. 

Parking & Start Areas: If you start in Kila or Somers, you will be starting where the trail ends. If you start in Kalispell, you will be starting in the middle of the trail and you will choose which way you want to ride. 

Starting in Somers - Just put Del’s Bar in your Google Maps and you will find lots of parking in this area. From there, you will cross the street to the path and start your ride. 

Starting in Kila - Park along Kila Road across from where it intersects Smith Lake Road or further north on Kila Road at a small pull-out area.

Starting in Kalispell - Just put Kalispell Mall in Google Maps. You will park in the backside of the mall where the parking lot touches 5th Ave NW. Once you are parked, you will get on the bike path across the street from 5th Ave. You will ride on that bike path until it hits a T in the path. There you will take a left and the path will go under HWY 93 and meet up with the Great Northern trail. From there you will choose if you want to ride north to Kila or south to Somers. 

The Ride - This paved trail through the heart of the Flathead Valley offers views of Swan, Mission, Salish and Whitefish mountain ranges. The tiny town of Somers at the trail's southern end is located on the north shore of Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. The town is the site of the former tie plant for Great Northern Railroad and the trail passes a diminutive community museum with a vintage steam locomotive situated outside. There’s a bike repair station close by. Stop at Somers Bay Café seven days a week for breakfast or lunch. 

The trail travels north from Somers paralleling the highway then takes a left turn and meanders through pastoral scenery southwest of Kalispell, the largest community in the Flathead Valley. Watch for the turnoff west to Kila which will take you under the bridge and through a rural landscape to the Smith Lake Waterfowl Production Area. There’s a bike repair station at this end of the trail also. The trail passes directly behind the Kila Pub, which opens in late afternoon (check seasonal hours).

The Ride: From the store, you will head north (turn right) on Spokane Ave in front of the shop and stay in the bike lane. You will follow that to 2nd Ave and take a right. Follow that until you hit a T and turn right onto Edgewood Dr. You will be on Edgewood for 0.8 miles.
