The wet spring was an incredible boon to this summer’s crop of wildflowers in and around Glacier National Park, and the Glacier Institute has several course opportunities to check them out in greater detail.
The Glacier Institute is a private nonprofit providing hands-on, field-based education courses for children and adults in Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest. Course subjects vary and are held all year, so be sure to check out the calendar.
