Located in Western Montana's Glacier Country, Glacier National Park encompasses more than 1 million acres boasting hundreds of sparkling lakes and cascading waterfalls; jagged, glacial-carved peaks; historic lodges and backcountry chalets; not to meantion a rich history of the ice ages, American Indian traditions, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Established in 1910, Glacier Park is open year-round and provides visitors with an up-close look at one of the most intact ecosystems in the temperate zone. In 1932, Glacier National Park was designated—along with Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada—as part of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, the world's first peace park.

The mesmerizing landscapes and beauty here are otherwordly, and recreation plus wildlife watching opportunities abound. The park is busiest during the summer but it's open year-round, and each season offers something unique and unforgettable.
