Glacier National Park!




Ranger Julia told us about Glacier National Park today. WOW! We learned about Glaciers, endangered animals, global warming and much much more!

This is an amazing place!! Talk about beauty and wonder!! It has been a while since I have been here and I am glad to be back!!

Glacier National Park is dominated by mountains which were carved into their present shapes by the huge glaciers of the last ice age. Evidence of widespread glacial action is found throughout the park in the form of U-shaped valleys, glacial cirques,arĂȘtes and large outflow lakes radiating like fingers from the base of the highest peaks.
