The story of Glacier National Park has been millions of years in the making. Visit the land before it was a park, when the Blackfeet, Kootenai, Gros Ventre, Assiniboine, Pend d'Oreille, and Bitterroot Salish tribes called the Crown of the Continent home. Experience this place when the Blackfeet first acquired horses and guarded the passes and hunting grounds from rival tribes. See the land as the Kootenai did when they held their spiritual ceremonies at the foot of today's Lake McDonald. Witness the collision of cultures as Guthrie chronicles the arrival of the explorers, traders, and railroad barons????????????and the rush of settlers moving west. In 1910 Glacier National Park was designated a national park, and it has undergone astonishing changes in the past 100 years. From the Great Northern Railway's Swiss-style chalets and lodges to the glorious Going-to-the-Sun Road, from the park's tragic first fatal grizzly attacks to its designation as an International Peace Park, Biosphere Reserve, |
