A stream shaped valley is usually 'V' shaped. A glacier formed valley is usually 'U' shaped.
A 'V' shaped valley is formed by streams and water action. A 'U' shaped valley is formed by the gouging out of the valley walls by a glacier. A hanging valley is where side valleys are cut across by the main glacier. Hanging valleys often have waterfalls that fall into the main valley over a cliff.

Essentially every feature in Glacier National Park was formed by a period of glaciation during the Pleistocene Ice Age, including all the mountains and all the valleys. A look at a map of the park will show several large, long lakes whose beds were scoured out by these glaciers. Some famous and oft-photographed valleys in the park that are easily accessible by car (and on the internet via webcam at www.nps.gov/glac ) are the Lake McDonald Valley, the St. Mary Valley, and the Many Glacier Valley.
A V-shaped valley has been formed by a river. A U-shaped valley has been formed by a glacier.
