Named for the remnants of glaciers from the ice age, Glacier National Park is located on the border of Canada and Montana.
It is often called the “Crown of the Continent,” because of its dizzying array of natural beauty.

Glacier National Park is located in northern Montana, on the border with Canada.
Just across the border sits Waterton Lakes National Park. Together, these two parks form Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, the world’s first international peace park.
Glacier officially became a national park in 1910. In 2022, Glacier National Park was the 9th most visited park, making this one of the most popular national parks to visit in the United States.
There are several regions of Glacier National Park. Going-to-the-Sun Road cuts across the center of the park and this is the most popular and most crowded section of the park.
Just to the north is Many Glacier, a wildlife rich, gorgeous area with some of the park’s best hikes.
Two Medicine and the North Fork are more remote areas. If you want to leave the crowds behind and journey into the backcountry, visit Goat Haunt.
The park remains open all year, however, Going-to-the-Sun Road, the main thoroughfare through the park, is only open during the summer months (typically from late June/early July through mid-October).
Glacier National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
