Owner Comments:

Glacier National Park is composed of over 1 million acres of scenic land in the northwest corner of the state of Montana. Found within the park’s boundaries are hundreds of lakes, with only 130 of them named including Lake McDonald and St. Mary Lake, the two largest of the park.A thousand different species of plants and animals are also located within Glacier that have survived mostly untouched for centuries. Thus, the park has a uniquely endemic ecosystem offering a glimpse into the past. Only two historic animal species of the area are not currently present within the park – the bison and the woodland caribou. That still leaves sixty-two species of mammals still present in the region which join another 260 species of recorded birds.
