in pictures Glacier: The Continuing Story

Meadows full of beargrass blossoms turn Glacier visitors into wildflower enthusiasts. Here forest flowers meet alpine tundra relatives, and prairie flowers mix with native plants of the Rocky Mountains to create an unparalleled display of abundant beauty.

Glacier National Park, located in northwestern Montana on the Canadian border, was established in 1910. Canada and the United States expanded the national park concept in 1932 when they formed Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.
