This wasnāt the self-guided trip, but the actual GTTSR guided trip. We got a bit beyond the three arches (14 miles up) before the road was closed by snow. I expected the riding to be quick, but it actually took more time. We got our bikes and gear straightened out at the Glacier Guide site near the West Glacier entrance, then loaded into 2 fans (6 bikes each) for the van ride to Avalanche Creek. (thatās about an hour). Once there, we got ready to ride Eva and Todd were great guides, so knowledgeable, personable, friendly, and ever helpful ā one going in front, and one at the rear to let folks lag if they needed to. They stopped at all the key points of interest along the way. The e-bikes were easy to ride ā really just a pedal assist (with 4 levels of assist), and a single gear shift lever (maybe 7 gears?). Even in off and on rain ā- we wore rain jackets and rain pants, wool socks, and water resistant shoes, and our rain jacket hoods under the helmets ā it was great fun (temp in mid 50ās). The coasting ride on the way down ā we held it to 20 mph (there were speedometers on the bikes) ā was when we got really wet as it poured, and the rain simply slid down our slickers and right into our shoes! Oh well ⦠it was great fun. We had the sack lunch/dinner in the van on the way back. Very companionable all around. Would recommend to do at least once. Great thing was NO CARS since the road was closed to cars at our starting point. Glacier Guides is really good.
