5.00Impressed with Lucas, our guide - seemed to love being a guide - very knowledgeable / wildlife, plants, park information. Great way to spend a morning and not worry about bears - we saw 2. Could have lived without the second muddy trail but at least it wasn’t raining
Great time, great views, great guides!

5.00Gabby and Anathea were friendly, excellent guides who answered all of our questions knowledgeably. They were clearly passionate about Glacier. Love that Gabby was passionate about birds and Anathea about fish. Both shared about the animals and terrain. The hikes were short, as advertised.
Best way to start your trip!
