It all began with a dream to
explore the wilds of Denali National Park,
until the realization that the bus would drop us off along the
park's single road and that would be it. Out with the map and
compass, we would be charged with navigating the wilds in an
effort to explore rugged country while avoiding close encounters
of the Alaskan Brown Bear kind.
Coming from New York's urban setting we opted for a more
controlled environment with marked trails, designated campsites
and the occasional roaming ranger. Enter Glacier National Park.
A five day backpacking trip into Glacier's backcountry was all
it took and we found ourselves scrambling to collect our
belongings so as to return permanently. That was six years ago
and we haven't looked back since.

While first researching Glacier Park we did it predominantly
online, and found it difficult to find a single comprehensive
resource. GlacierAdventure.com started out as a place to post
our photos from our backpacking trip and quickly morphed into
the very online resource we wished we had available when
planning our first visit. Since that time the internet has
grown in popularity, and the number of opportunities for finding
information online about Glacier National Park and surrounding
areas has grown.
With online travel information now abundant, we've taken a more
personalized angle. GlacierAdventure.com offers our personal
experiences while exploring area adventures. We offer the same
suggestions and ideas for fun we give to friends and family when
they come to visit, while also seeking out the opinions and
experiences of area experts.
We're ordinary people having extraordinary adventures, and we
invite you to join us as we uncover hidden gems you might
otherwise miss.
 Our
Story Really Isn't Unique
Spend enough time in this part of the
country and you'll find there are lots
of people with the same story. Like many
before us, we came to Northwest Montana
to explore the backcountry of Glacier
National Park, fell in love with the
turquoise lakes, glacial peaks and
velvet skies and essentially returned
home long enough to gather our
belongings so as to live here
permanently.
Northwest Montana is comprised of
generous, kind people, and there is no
shortage of volunteer opportunities to
get involved and participate in a
welcoming community. As soon as we
arrived we began volunteering on the
Big Mountain as Mountain
Ambassadors, which facilitated our
learning the mountain inside and out.
Since then through the years we have
participated in one way or another in
our local
Flathead County Search & Rescue,
Whitefish Winter Carnival,
Stumptown Historical Society,
Whitefish Theatre Company,
The Glacier Institute and
Whitefish Chamber of Commerce.
When we're not volunteering we're
exploring. The adventures this area
offers are boundless, with new
opportunities every season. There is so
much to do and see it is difficult to
fit it all in, and we live here! So it
is our hope that this site will serve as
a valuable tool in your vacation
planning process, helping you to
discover gems you might not otherwise
uncover and select those experiences and
places that interest you and your family
most. Share with us your experiences or
make a suggestion for the site, we're
here to enjoy this incredible place
together with you.
If you have never been here before prepare
yourself, you may never want to leave!
