We provide active travel vacations and experiences in and around Glacier National Park using the best available ecologically sound practices. We join and support the National Park Service, the United States Forest Service, and the surrounding communities in efforts to preserve and conserve the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem.
Our environmental efforts include using biodiesel, electric hybrid vehicles, and purchasing wind power and hydro power (as a second option) to fulfill our electric needs. We have converted all of our light bulbs to more efficient compact fluorescent.
As always, the Glacier Guides practices Leave No Trace ethics; we recycle paper, cardboard, aluminum, plastics, automobile oil, and batteries; we use the highest post consumer paper in our printing and brochures; we buy organic and local food for our trips; we use free trade and Energy Star products when available; and we continue to preserve the entrance to Glacier National Park by maintaining a vegetative screen and refusing to use billboards.
In 1997, we founded and sponsor Rafting for Refuse, an annual river clean up on the Middle Fork and North Fork of the Flathead River.
Since Climate Ride's start, we have been proud to be the founding sponsors of ClimateRide.org, a bicycle ride promoting responsible energy use and positive action toward climate change.
We live in an area that is experiencing rapid change due to climate patterns. It is our primary goal and mission to preserve and protect Glacier's unique ecosystem.
Cris, Randy, Denny and the Glacier Guides Team.
