Join Us in the Summer!
Our scheduled activities include a variety of ranger-led programs, from easy walks and evening talks, to all-day hikes and boat tours. The Native America Speaks program, outdoor education programs, and interpretive boat tours are also presented by our park neighbors and partners.
Our Ranger-led Activity Schedules are made available about 3 weeks before each program segment begins. Each schedule covers 3-4 weeks at a time. Programs start mid-June and generally conclude at the end of September.
Please see our Brochures and Publications page for a schedule of activities.
What to Bring Hiking
-
Sturdy foot gear is a must for all but the very easiest of hikes. Everyone should have good boots, with strong support, to help prevent ankle injuries.
-
Bring water with you! The mountains can get very hot in the summer. Surface water in the park may be unsafe to drink.
-
Mosquitoes and flies can be bothersome. Come prepared with repellent to meet some of Glacier's smaller wildlife species.
-
A day of hiking can expose you to more sun and UV rays than normal. Wear a hat and sunscreen. It will help keep you cool and prevent a sunburned scalp!
-
Weather can change quickly. Come prepared with rain gear for summer showers.
-
Bring something to eat while you are in the backcountry. If you are on an all-day hike or a hike over the noon hour, you'll get mighty hungry without lunch. Remember, if you pack it in, pack it out.
-
Children are welcome on interpretive activities, but should always be accompanied by an adult.
- Come prepared to have a great time!
