Glacier National Park is located in Northwestern Montana, where the American and Canadian Rockies meet.
The Park, established as a National Park by President William Howard Taft on May 11, 1910, is managed by the National Park Service with its park headquarters is in West Glacier, Montana. Glacier National Park averages slightly less than 2 million visitors annually but few stray far from main roads and hotels.
The view from Apgar Mountain provides an opportunity to share views of the North Fork area of the park. This diversity of habitat provides ideal conditions for a number of species and is one of the trademark qualities of the North Fork section of Glacier National Park. The parks namesakes, the huge glaciers of the last ice age, have largely disappeared over the last several thousand years.
