Established in 1910, the park consists of 1,600 square miles of magnificent land, with very few miles of road breaking up the scenery. The unspoiled beauty makes Glacier National Park a haven for lovers of big nature, photographers, or anyone wanting to seriously get away from it all. With more than 700 miles of trails, hiking or horseback riding is a pleasure.
Glacier National Park is in the northern Rockies and lies at the border of Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada. Together, the two parks create Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park World Heritage Site, which makes for a perfect Montana-Canadian holiday vacation. Take the breathtaking 52-mile long highway called “Going to the Sun Road” that goes through Glacier National Park and then crosses the Continental Divide at Logan Pass to continue on to the famed “Garden Wall.”
