Discovering Hidden Gems:
As you set foot in Glacier National Park, our guided hikes and courses will lead you to some of the most extraordinary and lesser-known corners of this natural treasure. From the iconic Going to the Sun Road and Logan Pass to the splendor of Lake McDonald, the enchanting Avalanche Lake, the tranquil Two Medicine, and the majestic Many Glacier, each area is a testament to the park’s diverse and awe-inspiring landscapes.


Wildlife Encounters and the Harmony of Nature:
As you traverse these breathtaking landscapes, keep your eyes peeled for encounters with some of the park’s most iconic wildlife. Glacier National Park’s ecosystem is a delicate web of interconnectedness, where each species plays a vital role in maintaining balance. The park is one of the few remaining strongholds for grizzly bears in the continental United States. Spotting these magnificent creatures roaming freely in their natural habitat is an awe-inspiring experience. However, it’s essential to follow the guidance of our experienced outdoor education specialists to ensure safe and responsible wildlife viewing.
In addition to grizzly bears, the park is also home to black bears, Rocky Mountain goats, bighorn sheep, elk, deer, eagles, and many more fascinating species. As you witness these animals thriving in their natural environment, you’ll begin to understand the delicate harmony that exists within the park’s ecosystem. From the grazing habits of bighorn sheep to the predation patterns of bears, every species contributes to the balance of nature.


Our experienced educators not only provide insightful information about the wildlife you encounter but also highlight the importance of conservation and preserving this delicate equilibrium. By learning about the interconnectedness of species and the environment, we hope to instill a sense of responsibility and appreciation for the natural world.
