    Shout out to our guides Jared, Jacob, and Sage!! They were funny, entertaining, energetic, knowledgeable, and kept the vibe high! My family came with a huge party of about 30 people which included adults and children. The Lee and Yang family had a great time and highly recommend this rafting company!

  • Biking Testimonial

    My husband and I had a half day fly fishing trip through Glacier Guides and Montana Raft. The whole experience was great, from making the reservations online, a phone conversation before our trip, checking in, customer service, and our wonderful guide. Glacier Guides was very easy to work with to get the trip we wanted, and very welcoming when we arrived. Everything happened exactly as advertised and exactly on time. Our guide Cam was just terrific. He took us down the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, taught us about fly fishing, helped us with our technique, and was a great companion throughout. It was a beautiful day on the river and a true highlight of our time in Montana.

We received our first no star review …. Joking We received our first no star review …. 

Joking aside, let’s talk bear spray: not for cooking, not for wearing, definitely not for bears to enjoy.

Before you go full pepper power, try not to invite the bear to brunch. Make noise, hike in groups, don’t surprise them, and keep your snacks sealed tight. If a bear still gets too close, stand your ground, stay calm, and prepare to engage your spray canister. 

Keep it handy, pull the safety tab, aim low, and spray when a bear gets too friendly: about 30-60 feet away. This is a powerful deterrent, and will completely disorient the bear/cause pain, so use it when only when threatened.

We offer bear spray rentals in our office in West Glacier, and recommend always traveling in groups while enjoying Griz country!
