The community that is fostered in Gardiner, Montana is the heartbeat of the town. If you were to walk down the streets of Gardiner, once crowded by tourists from all over, you would see the energy of Paradise Valley, seasonal workers and locals alike. Raft guides playing corn hole and cards on the sun-weathered deck, yoga led by locals in Arch park, and community members banding together to provide free resources for those in need.
The snowpack from the Rocky Mountains is the most important parts of a healthy river system for the American West. Our snowfall during the winter and precipitation throughout the spring provides us with full rivers, which helps with sustaining abundant trout populations, great whitewater, and water for many of our lakes and reservoirs. In addition to this, a healthy snowpack helps prevent against wildfires during the summer, and provides healthy graze to all of our animals coming off of a hard winter looking for nutrient rich grasses in the spring and throughout the summer.
