Dear Friend,
 

It's official...Backpacker's Ball is only 2 months away! Are you as excited as we are for Glacier's biggest event?

We are hard at work creating a program highlighting the important work you make possible in Glacier National Park.

Can't join us for the entire week? No problem! The videos premiering throughout the week will be available to watch online anytime.

There is one night you don't want to miss – Thursday, July 15. Be sure to tune in that evening at 6:30pm MDT so you can join the celebration, make final bids on auction items exclusively available for Backpacker's Ball guests, and give big to protect our park!

You can make a difference for the park today by registering for the event. There is a participation level for everyone!

We are pleased to present a sneak peek at some of the featured auction packages available at this year's event.

Paint In The Park with
Ken Yarus

Grab your friends and join renowned landscape painter Ken Yarus for a guided plein air session in the park. Ken is known for his large landscapes and is featured in many fine art galleries across the country. This package is for a private group of up to 4 people.

Hike In Glacier with
Christine Carbo & Doug Mitchell

Join author and Glacier Book Club favorite, Christine Carbo, and Glacier Conservancy Executive Director, Doug Mitchell, for a hike in the park and visit some of the iconic places that inspired Carbo's writing in novels like The Wild Inside and Mortal Fall.

All Aboard!
Rocky Mountaineer Experience

Bring a guest and board the Rocky Mountaineer luxury rail service to any destination of your choosing. Enjoy spacious coaches with views of breathtaking landscapes, as well as outstanding service, gourmet food, and stories from passionate hosts.

A Piece of Sperry Chalet
Custom Bench

Take a piece of Sperry Chalet home with this one-of-a-kind bench, made from reclaimed wood that was used in the winter stabilization efforts of 2017 and supported the chalet structure after it burned in the Sprague Fire.

Let's make a difference, and keep Glacier at its very best. I can’t wait to see you at the Ball!
