FIRST 
Summer 
The latest of our national playgrounds. It lies in the western section of Mon- 
tana, between the Great Northern Railway and the Canadian boundary line, and its 
1525 square miles contain over 250 deep blue lakes of glacial origin as well ag 
innumerable mountain streams that find their source in the 60 living glaciers and 
snow-capped peaks, within the borders of the park, 
Here the Rocky Mountains tumble and froth like a wind-whipped tide as they 
careen off to the northwest of Canada and Alaska. Here is the backbone of the con- 
tinent and the little and big beginning of things; here, huddled close together, are 
tiny streams, the span of a hand in width, that, leagues away to the north, the south 
and the west, flow mighty rivers into Hudson’s Bay, the Gulf of Mexico and the 
Pacific Ocean; here peak after peak, named and unnamed, rear their saw-tooth edges 
to the clouds; three-score glaciers within its borders are slowly and silently grinding 
away at their epochal task; three hundred lakes in valley and in mountain pocket 
give back to the sky its blue, gray or green; half a thousand waterfalls cascade from 
everlasting snow in misty torrents or milk-white traceries; rainbows flicker and 
vanish in the everchanging play waters, while the clear Montana sun does tricks of 
light and shade on pine and rock. High up on some gale-swept crag the shy goat 
pauses for a moment and plunges from view; lower down the big horn sheep treads 
his sure-footed way. And all is as it was when the world’s first day was done, save 
for some man tracks here and there on the winding slopes. 
Glacier National Park has no side-shows for garrulous trippers; it has no Coney 
Island attractions; it has no geysers; there are other canyons as deep; other 
mountains as high; but those who have roamed the world with open eyes say 
earnestly that there is no spot where nature has so condensed her wonders and run 
riot with such utter abandon; where she has carved and hewn with such unrestrained 
fancy and scattered her jewels with so reckless a hand. 
ONLY NATIONAL PARK ON MAIN LINE OF A 
TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILWAY 
For the accommodation of touris’s, the Great Northern Railway has 
erected a chain of seven chalet camps in the Park in addition to a 
magnificent hotel at Glacier Park Station (eastern entrance) and the 
Belton chalets, at Belton (western entrance). The accommodation at 
these Great Northern Hotel Colonies is uniformly good, and the rates 
very reasonable—3.00 per day. American plan.
