Glacier National Park in a Montana Campervan Rental
The majestic Northern Rockies represent some of the grandest and most impressive terrain to be found anywhere in North America. See it all from a campervan rental in Montana.
In Glacier National Park, mountains stretch like massive fortress walls along ravines and waterfalls before plunging into emerald lakes and pristine forests. Moose and elk wander the marshes and river valleys, where grizzlies hunt for salmon. A trip into the remote, rugged mountains of Montana and the Canadian Rockies is a trip through time into a fierce, stunning landscape that continues to awe visitors.
Your Moterra campervan awaits you just five minutes away from Glacier International Airport, equipped with everything you need for this spectacular adventure into the Crown of the Continent. From mid June to September, the roads will typically be clear of snow, spectacular wildflowers will be on display, and wildlife spotting will be plentiful.
Our luxury Sprinter van rentals in Montana are the perfect way to explore Glacier National Parkβs 1,489 square miles of wilderness, or the 12,000 square kilometers of Canadian national parkland just north of the border. Donβt forget your passport!

Glacier National Park
There arenβt many places on Earth more visually arresting or inspiring than Glacier National Park. Bighorn sheep perch on cliffs, waterfalls cascade off snow-capped peaks, and pristine stands of red cedar and fir lend their shade to 740 miles of hiking trails. Scramble up Triple Divide Peak, whose steep sides direct flows of water into three different bodies of water, then follow the setting sun over the Continental Divide, winding your way in your campervan rental on the historic Going-to-the-Sun Road. Between the natural splendor and the picturesque harmony of the parkβs historic lodges, this place is a must-see national treasure.

Drive the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road, an engineering masterpiece, which winds across the entire park and over the Continental Divide.
Float the crystal waters of Saint Mary Lake, a 10-mile-long mirror to peaks featuring sunsets like no other.

Waterton Lakes National Park
Part of the first International Peace Park, this beautiful national park is located just over the border from our Whitefish, MT campervan rental hub, in the province of Alberta, βwhere the mountains meet the prairies.β Hikers, mountain bikers, photographers and wildlife-aficionados alike will find world-class activity options, while the parkβs three namesake lakes provide a worthy backdrop.

Banff and Lake Louise
Canadaβs oldest national park and undeniably one of its most impressive, Banff National Park is just one of the reasons to range north on Albertaβs iconic Highway 93. Each winter, heavy snows blanket the slopes and granite precipices of soaring peaks, melting in the spring through couloirs and glaciers into the glimmering emerald lakes resting at the foot of the mountains. From Canmore to Banff and Lake Louise, adventures abound in the Canadian Rockies.
Insider Recommendations
Cruise the smooth pavement of Banffβs bike paths through the historic town and up into the mountains.

The Great White North
Venturing into Canadaβs vast wilderness, it can be hard to resist the impulse to push a bit farther, a bit higher. The vast and pristine wild lands extend far from our borders, with mountains, valleys, and glaciers rippling and curling north to the edge of the continent. Drive your campervan north to the incredible Jasper National Park, where mountains climb into the sky, reflected in the clear smooth mirrors of its alpine lakes, or journey west to British Columbia and Canadaβs Glacier National Park.

My boyfriend and I rented a Moterra campervan from Jackson, WY and finished our trip in Whitefish, MT. I have nothing but great things to say about this company. We worked with Trevor over at Jackson and Kevin at Whitefish, both who were incredibly knowledgeable. Their standard of excellence exceeds expectations with their customer service being impeccable. The employees in general have been highly responsive since the day I booked with them and they were willing to answer any questions that popped up. I met one of the owners at Whitefish as well and you can tell he truly loves the company and makes sure to maintain a company with a high quality standard. The vans are very well thought out and are equipped with everything you can possibly think of. Will definitely be renting from them again for future endeavors!

The hi-top van is spectacular and was crucial in us getting around GNP when the Going-to-the-Sun road was closed due to late season snow. Found the staff at Moterra super informative and helpful, A+ customer service. The van itself was comfortable and very convenient for two people. I would highly recommend the hi-top van to anyone interested in exploring the National Parks and wanting a flexible option for doing so.

Awesome trip! This is our third trip with Moterra, and I wouldnβt do it any other way now. The pop top van is on top condition, easy to drive, and makes it really effortless to get into the parks and national forests. Itβs super fun, too. The kids love the van and help with all the camp chores. Montana is spectacularly beautiful. We spent a week at Glacier, saw all sorts of wildlife, did some big hikes, and were really able to see the park from all sides. Moterra staff were nice, professional, and extremely helpful as always. Looking forward to our next trip with them.
