It wasn’t disclosed that the provider does not allow ANY dogs. We have a-tiny 7lb support dog who was carried IN A BACKPACK. The dog wasn’t going to walk on trails and had all the documentation. Unfriendly manager dreamed up that no dogs are allowed in the park and refused entry. We were in the park all day after that and there were plenty of dogs, not even support or service, and there was no issue whatsoever. We had our dog with us everywhere in the park, met park rangers and it was absolutely fine. This provider seems to be animal haters, unfriendly and very unpleasant people. They promised to issue a full refund and I hope they’ll do it promptly. If Viator plans to represent them please make sure they make it clear they do not accept even a tiny pup in a carrier.

We went on a 4 hour nature walk with Layne as our guide. We did two short hikes. Layne was very knowledgeable about the flora in the region and the history. Learning about wildfires and their impact on Glacier was really interesting. This was our first big day in Glacier and he definitely educated us on many things that we would not have known otherwise. He was also able to make recommendations of other things that we might want to see in the area. The views were incredible. Highly recommend you check this out if you are in the area and request Layne! You will not be disappointed!
Great nature hike
