2024 marks the 60th anniversary of the Wilderness Act of 1964. Ten years after the act was passed, 92% of Glacier was proposed to be formally designated wilderness. On June 13, 1974, Glacier's wilderness recommendation was submitted to Congress -- but it was never enacted. While Congress determines the status of the proposal, Glacier manages its recommended wilderness according to NPS Policy. This series of videos celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, and the 50th anniversary of

The Logan Pass parking lot has 236 parking spots and is often full by 7 am in the summertime. If you are planning to go on a long hike departing from Logan Pass, please park at the Apgar or St. Mary Visitor Center and take the free park shuttle up to the pass. This leaves the parking lot open to visitors planning a quick stop to Logan Pass. More turnover means more people get to experience this magical place we all share! If you’re curious about current conditions at the Logan Pass parking lot,

How much is a bird in the hand worth? Catching and banding birds in Glacier National Park is part of the MAPS program – Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship, which is a standardized way to track the health of bird populations, especially in response to climate change. A recent study using MAPS data found that spring is occurring earlier than in past decades and birds aren't responding quickly enough to this shift in timing. These research efforts help us see what’s happening with birds

Can you guess what month of the year this video was taken? ❄️ Did you guess Thursday of this week? This was the view at the Big Drift on the 20th. Plow crews working on Going-to-the-Sun Road are no strangers to snow, but this week brought forecasts of over a foot of new snow at Logan Pass—whose visitor center can be seen in the background around the 0:25 second mark. Happy spring! | Glacier National Park

When you flush the toilet in Glacier National Park, where does it go? 🚽💩A little known fact - Glacier operates 22 potable water systems, and three wastewater utility plants within the park boundary. Every day, park staff test this water and make sure the treatment plants are functioning. Three cheers to park utility and road crew staff, who last week located and repaired a break in the main pipe along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, just in time for the Lake McDonald Lodge to open on Friday!

Logan Pass: it's the high point on Going-to-the-Sun Road, a unique and beloved environment, and the highlight of many visits. But in this audio-teaser, Logan Pass sounds a lot less glamorous... Can you tell what's going on? We visit Logan Pass in Glacier's new podcast: Headwaters, and learn about the region's colorful past. This clip is an excerpt from a story about questionable attempts the park made 50 years ago to limit human impact—including a disastrous tale of pit toilets 🚽 To hear the fu

Can you tell how amped up our rangers are for the new electric vehicle (EV) charger in the Apgar Visitor Center parking lot?!

We are deeply saddened to announce the March 2, 2025 passing of longtime Glacier park ranger, and our beloved friend, Doug Follett. He was 98 years old. It is hard to imagine an individual more dedicated to Glacier National Park. Ranger Doug would often joke that he first started working with visitors as an infant in 1927, when he would be held up to train passengers disembarking at the East Glacier train platform. Around the same time, he learned to walk in the hallways of the Glacier Park Lodg
