Why West Glacier, Montana?
West Glacier is the western gateway to Glacier National Park — over one million acres of wilderness with more than 700 miles of hiking trails, 130 named lakes and some of the darkest, most star-filled night skies in North America. On your days off you can hike to Avalanche Lake, raft the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, spot mountain goats and grizzly bears from a safe distance, or ride the historic Red Bus Tours along Going-To-The-Sun Road.
The community is small, friendly and full of seasonal workers just like you — expect campfires, group hikes and friendships that stretch across continents.
