Introduction

At 1,013,572 acres, Glacier Park is one of America's largest national parks. The park is along the backbone of North America - the continental divide. On one side of the divide, a drop of rain landing on the east will flow eastward to the Atlantic. On the other side, a drop of rain landing on the west will makes it's way to the Pacific. The park is very mountainous and contains many beautiful lakes and glacier morraines which were created during the Ice Age by retreating glaciers.
