Glacier National Park

In 1910 President Taft signed a bill creating Glacier National Park. The park includes 1,600 sq. miles of spectacular glacier-carved mountain peaks, lakes and valleys straddling the Continental Divide in northern Montana.

Canada’s Waterton Lakes National Park, adjacent to Glacier on the Canada/Montana border, had been established in 1895 (originally called Kootenay Lakes). In 1932 the Canadian Parliament and U.S. Congress “joined” the parks by creating Waterton/Glacier International Peace Park.

The first of its kind, the in-ternational park commemorates and celebrates the long history of peace and cooperation between the two nations with a natural beauty and abundance of wildlife oblivious to international borders.

Although Glacier has over 700 miles of hiking, horseback and cross-country skiing trails, many visitors familiarize themselves with the park by driving the breathtaking Going-to-the-Sun Road which bisects the park from West Glacier to St. Mary. (Going-to-the-Sun Road is generally open early June to mid-October; check with park personnel regarding vehicle size restrictions.) From west to east, the road passes Park Headquarters near West Glacier, then parallels the shore of Lake McDonald.
