Services
Glacier Park Inc. (406/892-2525 or 403/236-3400 from Canada,
www.glacierparkinc.com ) is the official concessionaire of the park. You can book accom-
modations as well as a variety of tours and park transportation online or by phone.
Pets
Although pets are allowed in drive-in campgrounds, picnic areas, and on roads open to car
traffic, they are required to be on a leash no longer than six feet at all times. They are not
permitted on any trails within the park, and park officials strongly discourage the presence
of pets in Glacier. Because of this policy, it is nearly impossible to find pet-friendly accom-
modations in the area.
