The Bar W Guest Ranch - Whitefish MT - Public Trail Rides

Spencer Mountain Adventure

Season runs from May 17 – November 1, 2025 (weather dependent)
THERE IS CONSTRUCTION ON HIGHWAY 93 IN FRONT OF THE RANCH. PLEASE ALLOW AN ADDITIONAL 30 MINUTES TO ARRIVE ON TIME!

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Spencer Mountain on this half-day adventure! Spend approximately 2.5 to 3 hours in the saddle, exploring the diverse and scenic areas of the Spencer Mountain forest — places you won’t encounter on our standard 2-hour ride. Highlights may include stunning mountain vistas or views of Spencer Lake.

While some sections of this ride offer a bit more challenge, it’s designed to be enjoyable and accessible for riders of all skill levels.

During your ride, enjoy a delicious lunch of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs at The Ridge, the best picnic spot on the ranch. Take in the expansive views stretching across the valley and into Glacier National Park as you relax and refuel.
