Watershed Business Profile: Highline Adventures

Highline Adventures is a sustainable travel company founded by a local Montana family in Bozeman. Highline Adventures is committed to sustainable travel practices and actively seeks out ways for the company and its guests to reduce impact on the environment.

In June of 2022, Highline Adventures and GWC installed a rain garden at one of their hotel locations in Bozeman. The Baymont by Wyndham now has a sinuous rock channel featuring a selection of native shrubs, grasses, and other plants! Read this blog post to learn more about the value of rain gardens. Sod was removed, shrubs planted, and rocks shoveled in effort to reduce nonpoint source pollution and water usage! 

Within the partnership between GWC and Highline Adventures, the following has been accomplished: 

  • Built a rain garden at their Baymont by Wyndham hotel in June 2022

  • Working with GWC to create self-guided river cleanup and weed pull kits to distribute to their guests in summer 2022

  • Hosted an employee lunch & learn in 2021 where GWC came and talked to Highline Adventure staff about the watershed and the challenges it faces 

As an organization as a whole, Highline is: 

  • Doing their part to reduce plastic by providing water bottle refill stations for guests 

  • No in-room garbage can liners to reduce plastic waste

  • Installing more energy efficient light bulbs to reduce electricity use 

  • Installation of renewable solar panels at some of their hotels and RV parks

  • Supporting local– Highline Adventures sells artwork and other goods from local artists and vendors, and encourages all travelers to shop local, eat local, and seek out tours and experiences created by locals. 

Your stewardship and partnership is so valued! Thank you, Highline!
