Bear Spray & Gear Rental at the Airport

What's Available at the Airport

Bear Spray Rental

Bear spray is strongly recommended for all visitors to Glacier National Park, and required for overnight backcountry trips. We carry UDAP brand bear spray — the same canisters used by park rangers. Rent for your trip and return when you're done. No need to ship it home or pay retail prices.

• 24-hour pickup availability (coordinated with flight schedules)
• Return at airport OR at our Apgar Village shop inside the park
• Can't bring bear spray on a plane? That's exactly why we're here.

Hiking & Camping Gear

We also carry a selection of hiking and camping gear at the airport location, including trekking poles, sleeping pads, and other backcountry essentials. If you need a more complete gear setup, our full inventory is available at our Apgar Village shop inside Glacier National Park.

Why Rent Instead of Buy?

A full-size can of bear spray costs $40–$55 retail. If you're flying home after your trip, you cannot pack it in your luggage — the TSA prohibits pressurized aerosols in both carry-on and checked bags. That means a can you purchased becomes trash at the airport. Renting makes more sense: you pay only for the days you're in the park, and you simply return it when you leave.
