The jagged and spectacularly beautiful peaks and valleys of million-acre Glacier National Park that anchors the north end of America's Rocky Mountains represents some of the purest, most scenic wild lands in this country.
The Crown of the Continent, or Backbone of the World, has long been revered and reached sacred status with the Blackfeet Indians long before it became a national park in 1910, or was designated the world's first International Peace Park World Heritage Site in 1995.
Today the honor of achieving Peace Park designation is shared with Waterton Lakes National Park just across the Canadian border.
