Most adventure groups settle for a place to sleep. The best ones find a base camp.
There’s a difference between crashing somewhere after a long day on the trail and returning to a place that actually restores you — somewhere with a hot shower, a warm fire, a real bed, and a group of people who just shared something extraordinary with you. That’s what The Great Bear Inn offers every adventure group that walks through our doors.
Positioned just minutes from the western entrance of Glacier National Park, our property is one of the most strategically located group accommodations in the region. You’re close enough to be first on the trail in the morning and comfortable enough to recover fully by night. Whatever your group is chasing — peak summits, whitewater, wildlife photography, endurance training, or all of the above — this is where you come home to.
We’ve hosted groups who came for the park and stayed for the property. Once you’ve had your morning coffee on the deck with Glacier’s peaks in front of you, a hotel room never quite cuts it again.
Less than 10 minutes from Glacier National Park’s west entrance; minutes from the Middle Fork of the Flathead River and access to world-class trails
