Glacier Guides and Montana Raft

Ultimate Spring Glacier National Park Adventure

View Trip Details Book Now

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.

ICYMI, Maizy from Missoula is our big winner in our competition for a free backpacking trip! Way to go Maizy, we can't wait to go backpacking with you this summer!

A big thank you and shout out to all of the contestants... Each submission was extremely creative, passionate, and well thought out! It was so tough to choose just one winner.

We hope you'll all still get out and enjoy Glacier this summer, and submit something again next year!

We recently asked Montana residents and Glacier lovers between the ages of 15 and 18 to tell us why they love Glacier and want to protect it, for the chance at a free backpacking trip -- and they really delivered!

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful submissions! We received 7 works of art ranging from poems, videos, essays, and wall art, to a full Glacier themed Dungeons and Dragons campaign!

Stay tuned over the next few days for us to share some submissions, and announce our big winner!

We're so honored to be nominated for "Best Whitewater Rafting Tour" again, as part of USA TODAY @10best Reader's Choice Awards! We feel pretty confident that we have some of the best guides, guests, bounce, splash, and views in the game - but a little friendly competition never hurt!

You can cast your votes daily through May 27th by visiting the link in our bio.

Thank you for being the best and for making us the best, too!
