He shared so much information about the river, the wildlife, the area, and Montana that we felt like we learned something new the entire time. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. The highlight of the trip was getting to see a bear in the wild! It was such an incredible moment and made an already awesome adventure even more memorable. If you're rafting with Wild River Adventures, definitely ask for Elliot. He made everyone feel safe, kept us laughing, and gave us an experience we'll be talking about for years. We also love supporting local businesses, and this is exactly the kind of place that deserves it. Thank you for such an amazing day--we'll absolutely be back!

Half of us went on TK's raft while the rest of us went on Carly's raft. I was with Carly who was an amazing guide. She was so nice and sweet. Very knowledgeable of our surroundings such as the landscape and very few wildlife we came across. I loved it so much, I went on the Rapids rafting the next day with just my boyfriend and I. Our guide was Niels. He was amazing as well! He knew a lot about not just the GNP, but of Montana itself. If you're looking for more of a fun experience, I suggest the whitewater rapids rafting! That was so much fun. I wish it was longer and had more intense rapids lol

Had all the equipment we needed to stay warm on a chilly day with scattered showers. Taught us everything we needed to know to navigate the waters safely. Provided some great shopping, dining, and hiking recommendations. And all the tour guides were lowkey comedians who should consider riffing some of their jokes off at a comedy club's open mic night. Thank you guys! We had a blast!

There are also cute little basecamps at the entrance.

Glacier National…read morePark completely exceeded our expectations and gave us some of the most unforgettable experiences. There was something incredible around every corner: Wildlife: We were lucky enough to see grizzly bears, black bears, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, birds, and so much more. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat was truly special. Glaciers & mountain views: Ancient glaciers surrounded by towering peaks, dramatic landscapes, and endless mountain views it honestly felt unreal. Turquoise lakes: The crystal-clear, turquoise waters looked almost too perfect to be real. Every lake felt like a postcard. Boat rides: A peaceful way to take in the beauty of the park, surrounded by glacier-fed waters and stunning mountain scenery. Hiking: Every trail we explored was worth it! Avalanche Lake, Hidden Lake, Running Eagle Falls, and more each one offered something completely different and beautiful. Wildflowers: Colorful wildflowers and bear grass were everywhere, adding even more beauty to an already incredible landscape. Huckleberry ice cream: And of course, you can't visit Glacier without trying huckleberry ice cream! Such a fun and delicious Glacier tradition. From the wildlife and glaciers to the turquoise lakes, scenic drives, hikes, and peaceful boat rides, Glacier National Park truly has it all. We left with so many beautiful memories and a camera roll full of pictures we'll be looking at for a long time. Absolutely unforgettable and 100% worth the trip!

Views views views!…read more Great change of pace after days of hiking. I rented a 1 seater kayak from glacier outfitters. It may look like a far walk but it isn't! Totally doable. The staff was very nice to explain everything to me. They showed me the lake map and where to go and not go, etc. Instructions were very clear. I rented 2 hours (they have you 15 mins for the round trip walk). The walk from the rental to the lake I thought was a bit of a walk but it was not bad to haul the kayak there, they are on wheels so it is not bad. You leave the wheels near the trees. Returning the kayak was fairly easy as well. There are lockers available that you can put your stuff if you don't want to take it with you. The minimum number of hours is 2 hours and it was 40 something. Overall it was a good experience! Everything was great. Would recommend and use service again.

We made reservations at Glacier Outfitters for kayaks for the day. (highly recommend reservations)…read more There is a small parking lot and some street parking but it was not a busy day and it was full. We had people waiting for our parking spot when we returned to the car. I'm not sure where people would park when it gets very busy. Perhaps there is another parking lot I didn't see. When you walk up to G.O. you sign waivers, pay the fee and are gathered in an area for instructions. The man who provided the instructions was very informative. Advised us of areas in Flathead Lake to avoid including a rough water area and a few bald eagle's nests as they recently laid eggs. After instructions, you are provided with the kayak, paddle, life jacket and a cart to roll the kayak down to the lake. Now, I'm pretty strong but the kayaks are heavy. I did think to myself, how would someone with less strength get this kayak down to the lake? Something to ask about if you are renting as it is several yards to walk with a heavy kayak. The carts were easy to remove and stash while we spent the day in the lake. When you finish kayaking, you simply load the kayak back on the cart and roll it back to G.O., drop off gear and you are done. We had a great experience with Glacier Outfitters and would use them again.

The scenery was spectacular, the camaraderie on the raft was a blast, and Oscar made every stretch of the river feel memorable. The highlight of the day was seeing a baby black bear, which felt like something out of a movie and instantly became a family story we'll be telling for years. Oscar clearly knows the river, loves what he does, and has a gift for making people feel both comfortable and excited. We could not have asked for a better guide. Glorious day, incredible adventure, and huge thanks to Oscar for making it so special.

Lots of trees to enjoy, quiet, a creek/stream (my kids loved this part), a gorge, and some weeping rocks. It is a loop trail. I recommend going right first so the bigger payoffs are towards the end. And there is one restroom on the trail towards the first half of the trail. It is... a trail bathroom so don't have high expectations. Parking can be a challenge, but we lucked out. There are a couple parking areas. Worth your time if you're at Glacier and not hard.

Breath taking views of the lake at the end so worth it and relatively easy hike. There ia even a restroom along the hike about a mile in. Both hikes recommended!
