Glacier National Park
Pre- and Post-Visit: Winter (Grades 6-12)

Students that have spent time preparing for their visit to Glacier National Park get more out of a field trip to the park. Activities post-visit also help to reinforce information learned during the trip.

The following are some of our suggested pre-visit activities, as well as supplementary materials that may aid in preparing for your trip.

Suggested classroom activities from Teacher's Guide  

Winter Ecology Teacher's Guide (pdf) - this is a large file and may take time to download

Winter Pack worksheet (pdf) - this worksheet may be used during your field trip

 
Snow can fall at any time of the year in Glacier  

Did You Know?
Did you know that eight inches of snow fell during one night in Glacier's high country in August, 2005? The weather forced hundreds of backpackers out of the backcountry.
