Glacier National Park in Montana is one of the nation’s crown jewels in terms of National Parks. Some of the best hiking in the Rocky Mountains is located here, along with the world-famous Going-to-the-Sun Road. It is adjacent to Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada, and together they form an International Peace Park. The vast ecosystem includes over 100 lakes and 1,000 animal species.
