Description
Glacier National Park encompasses over 1 million acres of what is known as the “Crown of the Continent Ecosystem” in northwestern Montana. This wilderness, which includes parts of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Hudson Bay drainages, is known for retaining nearly all of its original plant and animal species and being a place where numerous ecosystems, from prairie to tundra, meet. Glacier was established in May of 1910, and soon afterward, the Great Northern Railway began constructing a number of hotels and chalets, which today are listed as National Historic Landmarks. Over 2 million visitors enjoy this beautiful park yearly. From the world famous Going-to-the-Sun Road to the park’s pristine, well-maintained backcountry, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Many Glacier Valley is one of Glacier National Park's top destinations. Many Glacier Hotel and Swiftcurrent Motor Inn were both constructed in the vicinity of Swiftcurrent Lake, and the valley includes the trailheads for several popular destinations, including Ptarmigan Tunnel, Grinnell Glacier, and Iceberg Lake. On this morning, the mountains surrounding the valley reflect in the still waters of Swiftcurrent Lake.
