"The crown of the continent"
Glacier National Park is a wilderness area in Montana's Rocky Mountains, with glacier-carved peaks and valleys running to the Canadian border.
On May 11, 1910, President William Taft signed a bill into law establishing Glacier National Park.
Glacier straddles the Continental Divide, allowing for extreme weather. That’s because the opposing Pacific and Arctic airs meet at the Divide, creating a dramatic clash of weather. 
Evidence of human use in the area dates back over 12,000 years. Archeological evidence shows human occupation of this landscape dating back to the retreat of the Ice Age glaciers 12,000 years ago.
Home to 71 species of mammals, trails, and a hidden lake.
