RightOnTrek Completes Wilderness EDGE Automated Outdoor Gear Rental Facility

Living on the EDGE

RightOnTrek just finished construction of its flagship backpacking and camping outdoor gear rental facility in Columbia Falls, MT. Conveniently located right by Glacier Park International Airport, the Wilderness EDGE offers top-of-the-line outdoor gear, meals, and supplies near Glacier National Park.

Officially launched earlier this year, it’s been operational all season within the functional enclosure of a converted sea shipping container.

While the retired transport vehicle served to protect the 24/7 automated gear lockers from the wind and the rain, it offered little in aesthetic appeal.

Crews worked all summer to complete the structure- a sloped-roof building that’s soon to be recognized by adventure seekers as their go-to destination for top-of-the-line outdoor gear rentals.

“I built RightOnTrek Wilderness EDGE to make the outdoors accessible to all. You don’t need to be an expert at selecting gear, food, or essentials. You can reserve your package online and everything will be ready for you or choose your gear on the fly right at the EDGE,” said Victoria Livschitz, founder and CEO of RightOnTrek

Originally intended for spring and summer seasons, RightOnTrek recently decided to keep it open in the winter, adding snowshoes to its offering.
