A wilderness area of over a million acres in northwestern Montana in the Rocky Mountains. Part of it is in Canada as Waterton National Park. Together they make up the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. Glacier National Park has almost 1,000 miles of hiking trails. The scenery includes rugged mountains, waterfalls, sparkling alpine lakes and streams, forests of pine, fir, hemlock and cedar trees, and meadows of colorful wildflowers.
Wildlife includes eagles and bears.
The grizzly bears can be a problem so camp in an established campground and follow regulations for the handling of food. This national forest contains 1,860 miles of hiking trails in two divisions in west-central Montana. The Rocky Mountain Division, south of Glacier National Park, follows the Rockies south, east of the Continental Divide, west of Augusta. The Jefferson Division's terrain varies from gently rolling hillsides to rugged peaks, including the Little Belt Mountains, Crazy Mountains, Big and Little Snowy Mountains and Highwood Mountains.
