	Northwest Montana, its continuous beauty and authentically kind people give us pause. Life here is the way it is meant to be; thoughtful, deliberate and rich in simply good things. As if there aren't enough reasons to call this place home already, glimpse a few of our favorites. We know you'll be hooked.

JUNE 2008

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!
