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.
