As a blue-listed species, grizzly bears are sensitive to human activity and threatened by habitat loss and other factors. By observing Boo in his natural habitat, guests have the opportunity to see firsthand how beautiful and majestic grizzly bears really are. Raising awareness of these secretive and noble creatures helps to improve the plight of this embattled species.
Interpretive tours are held every hour on the hour, Monday through Sunday, from 10 am to 3 pm. There are no tours at 1 pm because Boo is often out of sight, napping through the mid-day heat. Grizzly bears are more active during the cooler morning hours. For that reason, the 10 am tour is highly recommended, providing a greater likelihood of seeing Boo active and up close. When he’s awake, Boo is rarely out of sight for more than a few minutes at a time, and your patience will be rewarded once he reappears.
Tours follow where Boo goes, so be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and don’t forget your camera, bug spray, and a light parka since mountain weather can change quickly. To avoid tempting Boo, please do not bring food during your visit. With his keen sense of smell, you might get more attention than you’d like. The interpretive tours do not follow a script, and each one is unique depending upon Boo’s activity.
The Ranger Assist Program (RAP) is a unique experience offered to those who wish to have a more personal encounter with Boo and for bear enthusiasts alike. Our Ranger Assist Program has a maximum of 5 individuals and is offered at 9:00 am MST.
Tours have exclusive early access to meet Boo and Ranger, team. The Rangers will pick up the guests from the Day Lodge after getting tickets from Guest Services. Using our service road, you will arrive at the Kicking Horse Grizzly Bear Refuge, where you will be given a behind the scenes perspective of GBR operations.
Guests get to have a personalized experience with Rangers and Boo and observe the various methods used to enrich Boo's life. The first public tour of the Day will begin at 10:00 am; however, guests apart of the RAP program are encouraged to continue observing Boo, join in with the public tour, and view the Interpretive Yurt. Upon departure, guests will then use the Catamount Chair to download back to the base; however, their ticket will give them unlimited access to the Grizzly Bear Refuge throughout the Day.
Don't forget to dress appropriately for changing mountain weather conditions; bring bug spray, water, and sunscreen.

Ranger Assist tours are limited to five guests and must be booked at least one day in advance. Call 1.866.SKI.KICK (754-5425) or visit Guest Services in the Day Lodge to make a reservation.
