This spectacular park on the Canadian border has high country hiking and camping. Amazing mountains, foaming cascades, roaring streams, beautiful lakes, abundant wildlife, and nasty mosquitoes. The Glacier National Park was established in 1910, authorized as part of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park in 1932, designated a Biosphere Reserve in 1976, and a World Heritage Site in 1995. This ruggedly beautiful land includes more than 50 glaciers, countless lakes and streams, and a myriad of wildflowers and wildlife.
