At Glacier Guides and Montana Raft, we’re locals, and we love Glacier National Park with all of our hearts. So, we decided to share the love and put together our very own Glacier National Park Insider’s Guide. In it, you’ll find our recommendations on the top 10 adventures in Glacier. We also weigh in on what to pack, where to eat, what to drink, and where to stay. You’ll also find information on typical weather conditions around Glacier. We’ve even listed our our favorite things to do in the neighboring communities.

🌿♻️At Glacier Guides & Montana Raft, we’r

🌿♻️At Glacier Guides & Montana Raft, we’re passionate about preserving the beauty of our incredible surroundings, especially being right by Glacier National Park. We believe that little things can make a big difference for the planet and our environment.

Here’s how we contribute to a greener future for the betterment of planet Earth:

- 🌲 We maintain a vegetated screen along our property next to the highway to protect the landscape.
- 🚫 No billboards for us! We keep our marketing eco-friendly.
- 🌳 Our shaded parking lot offers guests comfort while minimizing heat impact.
- 🛣️ We regularly participate in highway and river cleanups, keeping our environment pristine.
- ♻️ We compost and recycle everything from paper to aluminum, oil, and batteries.
- 👕 T-shirts and souvenirs sold in our store are made out eco-sensitive materials + made in the USA.
-🪡 We repair any gear on property.
- 🛒 We buy in bulk, supporting local and organic goods to reduce waste and carbon footprints.
-💧We no longer sell bottled water (we sell canned water and have refillable water stations).
-🍽️ We use reusable dinnerware instead of disposable on our trips.
-🔋We purchase wind and hydro power to fulfil our electric needs.
- 🏞️ We practice Leave No Trace principles, ensuring our adventures leave the wild as we found it.

Taking care of the environment is not just a duty—it’s our way of life. We like to always think of the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, & Recyle) Together, we can make a big impact, one eco-conscious choice at a time 💚🌍
