Happy Birthday, Glacier! 🎉🎂
On May 11, 1910, President William Taft signed the bill establishing Glacier National Park. A lot has happened in the century that's passed—but even at the venerable age of 112, you look as good as ever, Glacier.

High in the rocky slopes of Glacier National Park lives a fuzzy, potato-sized animal called the North American pika (Ochotona princeps). The pika is a lagomorph, in the same order as rabbits and hares, and they are experts at cold-climate survival.

A grizzly trying to get its BEARings!
This bear found out how hard it is to regain balance on snow. Crossing snow & ice can lead to serious injuries. Consider turning around instead of crossing a snow field, especially if you don’t have the proper gear. Video Cred: Jacob Hartman

Mountain goats rest on snow patches to cool down on hot days. Climate change raises temperatures and shrinks snow patches. Researchers worry that these changes could lead to greater stress on the park’s cold-adapted goats.

Glacier shares its northern boundary with both Canada and Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta. Visiting both parks would require a passport 🇺🇸 🇨🇦, but wildlife—like this harlequin duck—travel freely between the two!
