GLACIER COUNTRY MONTANA

Experiences®

What is a Glacier Country Experience?

The very first thing you notice about Glacier National Park is. . . just how crowded it is!

There is also soooooo much traffic.

But you came to Glacier Country to get away from the crowds and traffic. . .

With my Glacier Country Experiences, you’ll have an unforgettable opportunity to explore Montana the way you've been dreaming about...

From Custom Guided Wildlife Spotting Adventures to Couples Picnics & Engagements, Alpine Huckleberry Hunts and even Vintage Barn Tours, you will see Flathead Valley the way it was when the first homesteaders arrived in the late 19th century. 

I’ve been leading my friends on backcountry adventures for years and eventually got hired by Backroads Tours to guide in Chamonix, France.

Hundreds of tours later, I moved to Whitefish, Montana where I previously spearheaded Photo Tours for Whitefish Outfitters & Bar W Ranch

I also offer some of the “Best Airbnb Experiences” in the entire State of Montana!

The Glacier Guide offers private, customizable Glacier Country Experiences for Firebrand Guests looking to go beyond a standard driving tour!

Hosted by local backcountry guide and professional photographer, Dan Smarg, activities include scenic Wildlife Safaris & Historic Barn Tours, romantic Sunset Picnics & SUP Paddleboard Floats accompanied by professional photo shoots, Master Photography Courses, Huckleberry Hunts, Marriage Proposal, Engagement or Wedding Elopement Sessions, as well as Custom-Built Itineraries around Whitefish and the greater Flathead Valley/Glacier Country area.

Guests book directly with The Glacier Guide for a polished, personal experience designed especially for their interests, timing, and comfort level.
