2025 Gift Guide for Glacier National Park Lovers
If there’s one place that has shaped both my adventures and my heart, it’s Glacier National Park. After months exploring its trails, alpine lakes, and winding mountain roads, I wanted to create a Glacier-inspired gift guide for anyone who loves this corner of Montana (or dreams of visiting one day). This list is short, sweet, and filled with trail-tested favorites, inspiration for moments between outdoor adventures, and a few items currently on my own wish list.
Whether you’re shopping for the hiker, camper, or mountain dreamer in your life, or treating yourself after a wild year, these are thoughtful, adventure-approved gifts inspired by the park’s magic (and my own adventures here).

Trail-Tested Favorites
🪶 Nemo Fillo Camp Pillow
I found out the hard way that chivalry was dead when my boyfriend wouldn’t let me use his pillow during our camp trips this summer. Since then, he’s gifted me my own to restore my faith in men in 2025. I previously camped with my Nemo Fillo Elite pillow, which, despite the name, is not elite (it just packs down smaller). The only time I’ll use it again is as a knee pillow. This regular Nemo Fillo completes my sleep system and surprisingly feels like a real pillow, which means you’ll have enough rest to not crash out the next day.
👣 Teva Original Universal Sandals
I used to swear by Chacos, until I realized they’re heavy, rub in all the wrong places, and somehow manage to cause blisters after years of ownership. I’ve since converted to Tevas (and yes, I still pronounce it wrong most days). They’re lightweight, quick-drying, and perfect for alpine dips or wearing with socks around camp since they don’t have a toe strap.
🎟️ America the Beautiful Pass
The ultimate gift for any national park lover. This pass covers entry to over 2,000 federal recreation sites, including Glacier. Pair it with a map or my Glacier National Park Guide and you’ve got an experience that lasts all year.
Note: Starting in January 2026, international visitors will need a separate, more expensive version of this pass.
For the dreamer
🖼️ Limited Edition Glacier Prints – Autumn Ride Collection
A piece of the park, captured through my lens. These prints are pulled from moments that I experienced while biking Going-to-the-Sun Road this fall when it shuts down to vehicles. To find out how to have this experience yourself, check out my post from the spring: Biking Going-to-the-Sun Road.
📘 The Glacier National Park Digital Guide
If you’re planning a trip (or just want to daydream about it), my complete guide covers everything from hikes, local attractions, travel tips, and dog-friendly adventures in the area. Think of it as your insider’s companion for exploring one of the most breathtaking corners of Montana.
🖼️ Glacier National Park Print by Long Lost Studio
I recently added this beautiful Long Lost Studio Glacier print to my own home, and it’s become a favorite reminder of the park’s timeless magic. If you’re local to the Flathead Valley, you can find it at Scout & Gather Mercantile (one of my favorite local shops to wander through).
📘 My Book List for Road Trips & Rest Days

I compiled a list of books that are on my TBR! Reading about a region and place that’s near and dear to your heart is so special. You’ll be spitting all the facts during your next group hike after reading some of these, but when you start off with “in 1967…” eyes might glaze over during work dinners with those who haven’t been hooked on Montana yet. I recently finished ‘The Night of the Grizzlies,’ which was necessary to tackle when the bears hit hibernation and my current read is ‘A River Runs Through It.’
For WHAT’S NEXT (& ON MY OWN WISHLIST)
🛶 Packraft Adventures
After spending a summer exploring the park’s alpine lakes from the shore, I’m dreaming of seeing them from the water next season. A packraft feels like the perfect addition for anyone who wants to add a new layer of adventure to their Glacier trips. Comment if you have a recommendation!
⛺️ Rooftop Tent Dreams
I haven’t decided on the brand yet, but adding a rooftop tent to my setup is high on my list for next year. There’s just something about being able to pull off a forest road, climb up, and call it home for the night.
wrapping it up
Whether you’re gifting adventure, art, or inspiration, these Glacier-inspired picks celebrate what makes this place unforgettable.
