It’s no secret that we’re extremely proud of our natural wonders here in Montana, and we aren’t afraid to admit it. We all know that Glacier National Park is the Crown Jewel of the Continent, and it seems as if the rest of the world is inclined to agree. Recently, MSN ranked the most stunning national parks in the world, and Glacier was listed at number 7.
Glacier National Park is on the list with some absolutely breathtaking places from all over the world. However, we believe it’s spot on that list is well-deserved. After all, you won’t find such Earth-shattering beauty anywhere else in the Treasure State, and that’s really saying something.
Glacier National Park spans a whopping million acres, straddling the Continental Divide and bordering Canada to the north.
You could visit the park a dozen times and not even come close to seeing all of it. In fact, there are portions that Montanans who aren't skilled backpackers simply can't see. However, there are also plenty of areas that are easier to access.
The park was founded in 1910, when President William Taft signed a bill into law establishing it.
In 1932, Glacier and Alberta's Waterton Lakes National Parks were designated the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. This was meant to celebrate the friendship between the United States and Canada.
