Glacier National Park Helicopter/Plane tours

We are wanting to look into an aerial tour of GNP on an upcoming visit. We love to hike but we are unable to do long hikes up steep terrain for health issues. I was thinking a small private aerial tour company might give us a view of everything we cannot see due to our restrictions. Anyone have any info I would appreciate it! TIA, Ellen

Helicopter tours have gone out of business near Glacier Park.
Nearest scenic flights would be in Polson or Libby, Montana. In Polson, which is 70 miles from Glacier Park, Blue Goose Aviation advertises tours; www.bluegooseaviation.com Tel# 719 393 5550.

In libby, which is 120 miles from Glacier Park, Kootenai Aviation also advertises tours: www.kootenaiaviation.com Tel# 406 293 9320

thank you! I guess since we will be in Columbia Falls it may be too far to travel to get to where they take off. Dang!
