Glacier National Park, known for some of the planet's spectacular scenery, is found in which country?

Environmentalists, botanists, and famed naturalists have said, "Glacier National Park boasts some of the most spectacular scenery and animals on the planet." This park preserves more than a million acres of forests, alpine meadows, lakes, rugged peaks and glacial-carved valleys in the Northern Rocky Mountains. It is a beloved park in northwestern Montana, USA and takes its name from its many glaciers and the glacial forces that shaped its rugged topography over two million years. Glacier National Park is home to more than a dozen glaciers. It is also extremely impressive with massive U-shaped valleys and large hulking granite peaks carved by ice flows, which existed centuries ago.

The park was established in May 1910 and includes parts of two mountain ranges, over 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants, and hundreds of species of animals. The vast pristine ecosystem is the centerpiece of what has been referred to as the "Crown of the Continent". Encompassing 16,000 square miles (41,000 square kilometer), ninety-three percent of Glacier National Park is managed as wilderness, even though officially it hasn't been so designated. Some top U.S. geologists and other experts in 2020 still hope the park will become a fully protected wilderness.
