HE GLACIER NATIONAL PARK voices a “call of 
the wild” to the mountaineer and others who love to 
wander and behold the wonders of mountain, lake, for- 
est and glacier, which God created in certain places of 
this conn for the enjoyment of His children. 
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK is the newest and 
second largest of our national parks. It was created 
by act of Congress in February 1910, and “Uncle Sam” 
is now at work building r ads and trails, constructing 
buildings and making its scenic wonders accessible to 
the tourist. 
The park is located in northwestern Montana and 
comprises an area of 1,400 square miles, bounded on 
the north by the Canadian line, on the south by the 
Great Northern Railway, on the east by the Blackfeet 
Indian reservation, and on the west by the north fork 
of the Flathead River. 
The main range of the Rocky Mountains extends 
from north to south through the park, and within this 
region is compressed a variety of mountain scenery, 
unsurpassed for beauty and grandeur in this country 
or Europe. 
Within the limits of the park are 250 lakes, rang- 
ing from twelve miles to a few hundred feet in extent, 
noteworthy among them being Lakes McDonald, St. 
Mary, Iceberg, Louise, McDermott and Kintla. There 
are more than sixty massive living glaciers between 
five square miles and a few acres in area. Blackfoot, 
Harrison, Pumpelly, Sperry and Chaney Glaciers are 
the most important. The mountain peaks range in 
height from seven to over ten thousand feet. The view 
from Lincoln Peak or Gunsight Pass, both accessible 
to the tourist, is a magnificent one covering a hundred 
miles of the main range of the Rocky Mountains. 
There are two entrances to the Park—one at Bel- 
ton, and the other at Midvale, both located on the main 
line of the Great Northern Ry. Special roundtrip ex- 
cursion rates are made from all points East and West 
to Glacier National Park during the season. Any 
Great Northern agent will gladly give you particulars 
regarding fares and accommodations, as well as sup- 
ply you with literature describing Uncle Sam’s newest 
playground, which is destined to become the greatest 
attraction for tourists on the North American continent.
