We are a university student from the Czech Republic and we are considering working in Glacier National Park this summer.
Should you have for us some tips and advice? For example: are some things that we definitely should bring? Is it possible and realistic to find another job? Can we exist without a car? If the car important, you tip on a good used car? Is it possible to get wifi access in Glacier National Park?
I could not find this information. Thank you...

Hi Daniela,
Congrats on wanting to work in Glacier National Park! It's a great experience.
Be sure to check out the stories of former National Park employees to help build your excitement!
In answer to your questions...
- Check out our pages on hiking and backpacking equipment. Be sure to bring all that gear if you plan on hiking and exploring Glacier National Park to the full extent.
- Plenty of people arrive in Glacier National Park without a job and find one. However, it's best to apply for a job with Glacier Park Inc and have one before you show up.
- Yes, you can exist without a car. There's a bus system throughout Glacier National Park and hitchhiking is easy.
- Wifi is tough to find in Glacier National Park. However, you have access to a computer with internet in employee lounge areas at all the lodges in Glacier National Park.
Hope that helps!
