Glacier National Park was formed by an Act of Congress on May 11, 1910. George Bird Grinnell, editor of Forest & Stream (later Field & Stream) magazine and an early proponent of the park is given much credit for generating the will to establish Glacier as a park. At the time, Glacier was the 11th national park, though since Mackinaw Island was decommissioned, Glacier is typically referred to as the 10th national park. Glacier joined with Alberta's adjacent Waterton Lakes National Park in 1932 to create Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park (though both parks are still managed independently by their respective government agencies). Waterton-Glacier is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve. Geologically, the formation of the park's features can be summarized in three phases: deposition, uplift, and erosion. The majority of the rocks in the park were formed in a shallow sea environment called the "Belt Sea." This ancient seabed harbored only some of the earliest and most primitive forms of sea life, stromatolites, and the oldest rocks in the park may be up to 1.5 billion years old. Other layers of rock in the park include siltstones and limestones. Much later, around the time of the dinosaurs, the mountains were thrust up as North America slid westward across the Pacific tectonic plate; a huge slab of rock called the Lewis Overthrust was shoved upward and eastward. Since then, the rock has eroded down, most dramatically during the Pleistocene Ice Age, when glaciers carved up the mountains and valleys.

According to the NPS, over 1100 species of vascular plants exist in Glacier NP, along with over 850 species of mosses and lichens.

Summer, unless you enjoy TRULY dangerous weather conditions.

Most trails are not open until July, and the NPS strongly advises against hiking on a closed trail. By late September, Going to the Sun Road is closed. Thus, June can be too early and October is definitely too late for any but VERY hardy outdoorspeople.

Glacier National Park's area is 333,350 acres.

The average glacier is 5500 feet tall. The glaciers that are mostly melted are approximately 1 foot, and the largest glacier is 11,000 feet in the middle of Antarctica.

Mosquitos can be bothersome in summer.

Bark beetles attack old forests.

Logan Pass is named after Glacier National Park's first superintendent William Logan. However, Logan did not discover it, nor was he responsible for routing the Going-to-the-Sun Road over that pass.

Glacier National Park is not named for a person but for its glacial features and glacial landscape.
