Greetings from West Glacier!

We've decided to launch an e-newsletter to better communicate with our friends all over the map. We'll share with you interesting news about what's happening in our special place in the world, as well as alert you to special offers from Glacier Raft Company & Outdoor Center. As always, please let us know if we can better serve you.

What does a Raft Company do in the winter? Winter is upon us and the quiet side of Glacier National Park is showing her face. White-capped peaks and calm reflections of the "crown of the continent" in the cold, deep waters of the lakes are the norm now - but before long, the rushing rivers will take over again.

If you haven't noticed, we're more than just a raft company. If you're looking for the perfect base camp to explore the wonders of Glacier National Park, check out our spacious log cabins just one-half mile from the Park's west entrance. The cabins are available in any season, either when the rivers are rushing from the tall peaks, or when the snow settles and muffles the sounds of stillness.

Glacier Outdoor Center cabins are the perfect base camp to explore Glacier National Park

The cabins are fully-furnished and provide all the comforts of home along with breathtaking views of the mountains. Each cabin offers separate sleeping and living areas, complete kitchen, full bath, television, covered deck, gas grill and gas fireplace. One and two-bedroom cabins can sleep from 6 to 14 guests and are supplied with everything you need to feel at home.

As a special offer to our e-newsletter list, stay in a 1-bedroom cabin between now and May 1 for $99/night or a two-bedroom cabin for $199/night (plus lodging tax).
