Glacier National Park was one of the high points of my 1997 cross-country trip with my dog Sam. It is a national park located in northwestern Montana on the US-Canadian border. I didn't go to Glacier when I was in graduate school in Montana (1987-1988), so it was still on my bucket list. It was worth the wait.
Welcome to Glacier National Park
The park was established in 1910.
Glacier National Park is one of the crowned jewels of the US National Park System. It encompasses more than a million acres. In no way do my pictures do it justice. It is a land of mountain ranges, glaciers, rivers, alpine meadows, forests, and waterfalls. The Going-to-the-Sun Road is the road that transverses the park. It is approximately 50 miles long. I drove it. They say it is one of the most difficult roads in the US to snowplow in the spring. I could see that. The scenery was amazing.
Snowfall can occur at any time during the year.
