Glacier National Park Quiz – Montana's U-Shaped Valleys

Glacier National Park in Montana was established in 1910 and is called the Crown of the Continent. Ice Age glaciers carved its U-shaped valleys, sharp horn peaks and knife-edge ridges called aretes.

Far fewer glaciers remain than in 1850, and those left are shrinking. The Going-to-the-Sun Road, finished in 1932, crosses the Continental Divide at Logan Pass.

With Canada's Waterton Lakes, the park forms an international Peace Park. Mountain goats and grizzlies roam the high country, Lake McDonald has colorful stones, and water from Triple Divide Peak flows toward three oceans.
