Historic Glacier National Park captures the most interesting moments in the park's history, slices of life in northwestern Montana that provide an idea of what adventures were in store for those who chose to explore this gloriously beautiful snowy corner of the United States. There's the presence of Native Americans in nearly every aspect of the park's history, the significant leadership of the Great Northern Railway as the park gained its footing, and the people who risked life and limb in this astonishing Rocky Mountain landscape. Once Congress decided to make Glacier a national park, developers created hotels, chalets, campgrounds, residences, and the most spectacularly scenic road in the United States. Historic Glacier National Park provides just enough of this rich history to make the experience of visiting the park even better than expected.
