Forrester, and the history of Glacier’s red bass.
No registration is required. Participants are encouraged to bring a packed lunch to eat during the one-hour lunch break. Canadian participants should note that a passport is required to cross the US-Canada border.
The event has alternated between the two parks each year since its inception in 2004, with the past four years held online. This will be the first in-person event since 2019.
