After the area's official designation as a national park in 1910, an increasing number of tourists made the trek. To accommodate the crowds, the Great Northern Railway constructed a series of chalets and hotels that were designed to mimic lodges in Switzerland. These designs, combined with the use of natural materials, were dubbed “parkitecture.” Though WWII caused many of the lodgings to fall into disrepair, some of the buildings were saved and are registered as National Historic Landmarks.

Triple Divide Peak has the unique distinction of sending water to the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic oceans. The Continental Divide and Northern Divide, which direct water flow to the oceans, converge at the peak’s summit. This means that any water that falls on Triple Divide Peak will flow to the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean (by way of the Gulf of Mexico) or Arctic Ocean (by way of Hudson Bay, which is sometimes considered part of the Arctic Ocean).

Wooden boat tours have been a feature of Glacier since the 1920s and many of the original boats still cruise today. Among the oldest is the Sinopah, a 45-foot vessel that carries visitors through Two Medicine Lake, as well as Little Chief, a 49-passenger boat found at Saint Mary Lake.
