Glacier Ridge Runners
Glacier Ridge Runners is a rental outfitter in Hungry Horse, outside Glacier National Park. It rents side-by-side UTVs, boats and jet skis in summer and snowmobiles in winter from the Sinclair gas station on US Highway 2, and its own site says it was established in 1998. The operator says its UTVs are street legal and leave straight from the shop for the North Fork or Desert Mountain, and that boats are delivered to Hungry Horse Reservoir, Whitefish Lake, Flathead Lake or Stillwater Lake. This is a research-based planning guide built from the operator's own pages, not a firsthand review.
The operator says it is located directly at the trailhead, at the Sinclair gas station in Hungry Horse, so UTVs leave from the shop with no bus ride. The same counter rents boats, jet skis, paddle boards and kayaks, and snowmobiles in winter.
