Glacier Guides & Montana Raft Insider's Guide To Glacier National Park

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.

Another week brings another Rivers Roads and Trail Another week brings another Rivers Roads and Trails Report with some info on current water levels, trail postings, and campground closures!

Hey y’all let’s talk about the Great Fish Comm Hey y’all let’s talk about the Great Fish Community Challenge! Yes that’s a great fish, but Glacier Guides & Montana Raft is stoked to support THE great Fish multi week fundraising campaign through our Corporate Sponsorship of the Whitefish Community Foundation. Our sponsorship helps make it possible for 100% of every donation made during the Great Fish Community Challenge to go straight to the participating nonprofits—without being reduced by administrative costs or fees. The Great Fish Community challenge inspires community-wide giving and builds awareness about the critical work of Flathead Valley nonprofits, and in just a decade it’s helped raise over $35 million to strengthen the Flathead Valley. These vital funds support local organizations that protect our natural resources, support education, expand the arts, and improve quality of life. As Glacier National Park’s exclusive hiking guide service and a locally owned rafting, biking, and fishing company, we share those values. We believe that a strong community is the foundation for strong stewardship of the wild places we call home. We invite our friends, guests, and partners to join us in supporting this effort. Together, we can ensure these nonprofits have respirces to continue making the Flathead Valley a vibrant, healthy, and inspiring place to live and explore. ♥ Learn more @ whitefishcommunityfoundation.org/great-fish-community-challenge
Glacier National Park, you never disappoint!! Hiki Glacier National Park, you never disappoint!! Hiking season is really delivering in West Glacier, and we are loving all the photos flooding in from out in the back country. If you’re looking to get out with a guide in stunning Glacier National Park, our nature walks are a great place to start 🌟
Multi day raft trips: give us s’more of that ♥ Multi day raft trips: give us s’more of that ♥ Overnight trips all end in the West Glacier area, with the longest trips starting farthest upriver. An average day’s float is 15 miles of spectacular scenery, with most of the whitewater — if any — coming in the last day. These trips use the North Fork of the Flathead River during late summer, and the Middle Fork in early and mid summer. Our favorite option is customization of any of these trips – just ask! 😁 406.387.5555
