A Note from the Executive Director

As we navigate the challenges presented by the current government shutdown, I’m writing to you today with a message of resolve.

While many operations in Glacier National Park have been temporarily suspended, our commitment to supporting our park partners is as strong as ever.

During this time, the Glacier National Park Conservancy is focused on our mission to raise critical funds for the park. We want to ensure that when our dedicated partners in the National Park Service can return, we are ready to support their work to preserve and protect this incredible place.

While the park remains accessible, please be aware that without staff on duty, visitor services are unavailable. Visitors should be self-sufficient, responsible for their own safety, and mindful to practice Leave No Trace.

This moment is a powerful reminder of how much Glacier National Park means to all of us. Your dedication ensures that Glacier remains a source of inspiration and wonder for generations to come.

With gratitude,

  A man smiling on a sunny day.

Employee Feature:
The Courage to Climb by Paige

Paige looks up at mountains

Every summer the GNPC family grows when seasonal employees join our retail team.

As they wrap up their seasons with us, we asked some of them to reflect on their experience for our Employee Feature blog.

In this edition, Paige reflects on finding courage and connection:

"One of the most valuable things I’ve learned is that courage is often found in the space between your limitations and the mountain peak in front of you. Whether your mountain peak is trying something new, the unknown nature of the future, working a Logan shift on a rainy day in peak July, moving to a new place, or raising money for invaluable work in the park, you are more than capable..."

Glacier Book Club:
Grizzly Confidential with author Kevin Grange

Grizzly Confidential follows Kevin Grange, a former paramedic and park ranger, on his journey to understand North America’s most formidable predator, the grizzly bear. From the misty island of giant bears to cutting-edge research on hibernation, Grange encounters scientists, activists, and even the darker sides of wildlife trade. His adventure leads him to a remote part of Alaska where humans peacefully coexist with the largest gathering of brown bears. Part science, part travelogue, Grange’s story is both an exploration of grizzlies and a passionate call for their conservation.
