Glacier National Park Travel Expert

Tucked away in the northwest corner of Montana, Glacier is the kind of place where you trade in your screens for snow capped peaks, turquoise alpine lakes, and trails that seem to stretch into forever. I’ve sent couples there for romantic escapes, families for unplugged vacations, and solo travelers looking to reconnect with nature, and they all come back saying the same thing: “It was life-changing". Driving the Going-to-the-Sun Road is something I always recommend as it’s one of the most scenic routes in the U.S. Every twist and turn reveals jaw-dropping views of glaciers, waterfalls, and wildlife. I’ve seen mountain goats, grizzly bears, and even moose while out hiking or just pulling over at a viewpoint. For those who love to hike, this park is paradise. Trails like Grinnell Glacier, Hidden Lake, and Highline Trail offer views you truly have to see to believe. But even if you’re not a hardcore hiker, there are plenty of accessible paths and scenic boat tours on Lake McDonald and St. Mary Lake that are just as rewarding. What I love most about Glacier is how peaceful it feels. It’s the perfect place to slow down, breathe deep, and just take it all in. There’s something grounding about watching the sun set over a glacier-fed lake or waking up to the sound of wind in the pines. If you’re craving wide open spaces, rugged beauty, and that feeling of awe that only nature can give you, Glacier is waiting. I’d be thrilled to help you plan a trip that gets you off the grid and right into the heart of one of America’s most stunning national parks. Trust me, this is one for the bucket list.

My Reviews

Playa Guiones, Costa Rica
We recently had the pleasure of working with Dakota on planning a trip to Costa Rica. We weren't sure where we wanted to go but we knew we wanted to relax, have a little adventure, and have a beach nearby. Dakota knew just where we needed to go, Playa Guiones. We had 14 people from 5 different states all coming together so we knew it would take a lot of planning. He arranged flights all arriving at similar times and a private shuttle bus that took us round trip to our amazing homes. Dakota found two homes across the street from each other that accommodated us perfectly. We had a beautiful beach only a 5-minute walk from our houses, and a 10-minute walk to shops and restaurants. He also planned for a rental car and golfcart. During our stay we went to a monkey rescue, rode horses through the jungle, took a surfing lesson, went deep sea fishing, and snorkeling. Dakota's ability to speak Spanish and his knowledge of the country was definitely a huge asset to us. His amazing planning skil

Epic Hiking and Camping Trip !!!
I contacted Dakota for his help planning a trip to Glacier National Park. We were so impressed with how knowledgeable he was. He knew when we should go and where we should go. He booked our airfare, hotels, and rental car. He also help us decide what activities we wanted to do while there which included camping, hiking, and kayaking. He also gave us helpful information on equipment we would need and what to pack. He prepared us for crossing back and forth between the US and Canadian borders which was very helpful. We saw many amazing lakes, wildlife, and hiked in places that were absolutely beautiful. This trip was so much more than we could've ever imagined, and we will absolutely refer all of our friends and family to Dakota and hope to have him plan our next adventure soon.
