Glacier National Park
Glaciers past carved, gouged, and rototilled the mountains, while glaciers present, some two dozen of them, cling to life in high-mountain fastnesses. Mountains reach for the sky, their stratified layers telling us that, in the distant past, immense tectonic forces cracked the earth's crust and drove a massive slab of it over itself. Together, these forces of creation and destruction produced the vertical, yet lake-studded landscape we know today.
