Where to buy bear spray between Calgary and St. Mary's?

Post by Dayhiker Scott 613 »

On previous trips to GNP I've flown into Kalispell and picked up my bear spray at the rafting place on the side of the road on the way into the park, which was always cheaper than other places. For my upcoming trip it looks like I'll be coming down from Calgary to the east side of the park. Any recommendations for a cheap place to get bear spray anywhere along the route?

I think we paid $40 for bear spray at Thronsons in Babb. I can't think of any place between Calgary and the border that would be a convenient stop for picking it up. I believe Thronsons would be your first opportunity.

If you're going to St Mary's you can delicately buy it there.
