RANDY GAYNER came to Montana after finishing college, and he never left. After first working as a backcountry ranger based out of the Polebridge Ranger district in Glacier National Park, Randy founded Glacier Guides and Montana Raft Company in 1983. When he’s not holding his trusty clipboard, you can find him floating local rivers, ski patrolling up on Big Mountain, or scouting for another fun adventure.
