ABSTRACT
Glacier Park might be so named because it is glacial in origin, the result of the action of mighty glaciers which scoured out the valleys, leaving the precipitous mountain walls that characterize the park, or because it still has many glaciers. It is one of the most beautiful of our mountain parks. Although the mountains are not nearly as high as the high mountains of Colorado or the High Sierra—in the ratio of 10,000 to 14,000 feet—they appear quite as impressive because they rise from a lower base and because they are so steep and rugged and somewhat colored; and the several lakes are as lovely as can be found in the United States, excepting Crater Lake.
