Rest assured that every trip detail has been anticipated so you’re free to enjoy an adventure that exceeds your expectations. Overview The true meanings of “spectacular” and “scenic” are restored in Glacier National Park in Montana. Its dramatic beauty was formed between 70 and 150 million years ago, when pressures of the earth’s tectonic plates caused a slab of seabed sediments several miles thick to be thrust gradually upwards some 50 miles to the east. Glaciers made their majestic entrance later, sculpting the park into elegant U-shaped valleys and matterhorns. All this work by Mother Nature left white-water rivers cascading into teal-green lakes reflecting mountain upon mountain in these upper reaches of the Rockies. The walks here take you to the mountain habitats of bighorn sheep, mountain goats, moose, and raptors. You walk to glacial, trout-filled lakes in dramatic cirques and find vistas that open generously over the heart of the Rockies.

    Montana: Glacier Adventure Trip Summary Known to the Native Americans as the “Shining Mountains” and the “Backbone of the World,” Glacier National Park preserves over a million acres of old growth forests, alpine lakes, rugged mountains and sweeping wildflower meadows. Boasting more than 750 miles of maintained trails, one of the most scenic stretches of paved road in North America and a river equally as suited for rafting as it is gazing at the surrounding beauty, the Park’s unique, glacier-carved terrain is an adventurer’s paradise. Hike backcountry trails for a jaw-dropping view of history laden sedimentary cliffs and jagged ice fields reflected perfectly in the azure blue waters of Iceberg Lake. Step into the set of The River Wild as you raft the unspoiled waters of the Flathead. By day, witness the wildlife and natural beauty of the park up close and personal. By night, raise a glass to your day’s adventure before retiring to the comfort of your historic mountain resort, chalet, or lodge.

The eltM ing ‘Crown of the Continent’: Visual History of Glacier National Park Abstract Glacier National Park (GNP), located in northwest Montana, US, was signed into existence on 11 May 1910 by then President William Howard Taft. onC servationist George Bird Grinnell was instrumental in lobbying for the park’s creation and negotiated the sale with the Blackfeet Indians. As an editor of the outdoor magazine Field and Stream, Grinnell learned about the region from writer James Willard Schultz and made his first visit there in 1885. Enticed and amazed by the glaciers of the area, the high Rocky Mountain alpine terrain, and the flora and fauna that thrived here, Grinnell advocated for the creation of the park, nicknaming it the “Crown of the Continent.” Grinnell recognized glaciers as a geological wonder.
