Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park is located on the border of Canada and Montana and is named for the remains of ice age glaciers. Because of its dazzling diversity of natural beauty, it is sometimes referred to as the "Crown of the Continent". Hikers will enjoy the park's diversity of paths, which range from the simple Trail of the Cedars (which contains tall and gorgeous cedars) to the daunting Grinnell Glacier (which offers sweeping views). Furthermore, the park contains over 700 lakes, several waterfalls, and two mountain ranges scattered across more than 1 million acres, all of which provide habitat for a diversity of animals.

It has a lot of history in addition to its stunning natural characteristics. The Going-to-the-Sun Road, a magnificent 50-mile journey across the park that offers amazing vistas and access to popular hiking trails, is a National Historic Landmark and an engineering wonder. In addition, several of the park's lodges, chalets, and hotels are from the early twentieth century and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
