Glacier Conversations

Getting Glacier Open
with Park Roads Supervisor Brian Paul

Wednesday, April 26
6:30PM MDT

The annual process of getting Glacier National Park facilities open for millions of summer visitors is a huge undertaking. It involves removing hundreds of millions of tons of snow, braving avalanche and rock fall, and preserving the historic integrity of the road. Join us for a discussion with Glacier National Park Roads Supervisor Brian Paul about plowing Going-to-the-Sun Road and everything it takes to make Glacier ready for summer.

Registration is now open, limited space remaining!

Glacier Book Club

Last Stand 
by Michael Punke 

Wednesday, May 17
6:30PM MDT

From the author of the #1 bestselling book, The Revenant, comes the story of the American West through the lens of the bison. Over the last three decades of the nineteenth century, 30 million buffalo were reduced to twelve. Into that maelstrom rode young George Bird Grinnell. A scientist, journalist, hunter and conservationist, Grinnell would lead the battle to save this species. Last Stand is the story of the death of the old West, and the birth of the conservation movement.

Registration is now open! You can purchase the book in our online store. All proceeds from your purchases support Glacier National Park!
