 Glacier
preserves over 1,000,000 acres of forests, alpine meadows, and lakes.
Its diverse habitats are home to over 70 species of mammals and over 260
species of birds. The spectacular glaciated landscape is a hikers paradise
containing 700 miles of maintained trails that lead deep into one of the
largest intact ecosystems in the lower 48 states.
The park contains over 350 structures listed on the National Register
of Historic Sites and six National Historic Landmarks.
In 1932 Glacier and
Waterton Lakes National Park, in Canada, were designated Waterton-Glacier
International Peace Park. This designation celebrates the longstanding
peace and friendship between our two nations. Glacier and Waterton Lakes
have both been designated as Biosphere Reserves and together were recognized,
in 1995, as a World Heritage Site.
