Glacier National Park
Be A Junior Ranger

Junior Ranger Program
Children who are interested in learning more about how special Glacier National Park really is can pick up a Glacier National Park Junior Ranger booklet when they arrive at the park. Booklets are geared toward children ages 8-12. (We are working on a booklet for 4-7 year olds which should be ready by the summer of 2009). Once children have completed the required number of activities, they can bring the booklets to any visitor center, have a ranger check their answers, and receive their very own Junior Ranger badge.

Learn more about the National Junior Ranger Program by visiting www.nps.gov/learn/juniorranger.htm.

Glacier is only one of hundreds of National Park sites throughout the United States. If you want to learn more about our National Parks and how you can protect them, visit www.nps.gov/webrangers.

Grizzly bears  

Did You Know?
Grizzly bears in the park have a wide variety of food sources, including glacier lily bulbs, insects, and berries. They may also make an early season meal of mountain goats that were swept down in avalanches over the winter.
