EcoTourism
Northwestern Montana is the home to a diverse landscape carved by glacial movement. It is also home to Glacier National Park rich in beauty and excitement. Ecotourism in this region can serve to protect everything from the Flathead River Valley to Whitehead Mountain.
Glacier National Park is home to streams, forests, lakes and alpine meadows aplenty. Whether you seek the clean crisp waters of the Flathead River or possibly a hike on the over 700 miles of trails, it should not be hard to see that your travel plans should also include eco minded choices. By utilizing the ecotourism guidelines outlined below and following your own ethical standards we can all work together to protect what nature intended us to enjoy.
-Do your homework. Research hotels and tour companies that have Eco tourism policies in place..
-Look for a lodging property that has eco friendly standards.
-Choose eco minded activities. Biking, hiking, whitewater rafting and kayaking can be green activities,
depending on the tour operator.
-Respect your environment. Leave a minimal impact on your surroundings so that others may enjoy it for years to come.
-Request paperless communication. Invoicing and receipts can all be done electronically.
-Go local. Support local companies and organizations that employ environmentally sensible practices.
