Glacier National Park
For Kids
 

Glacier is a special place. The mountains, forests, lakes, and grasslands provide a home for many different animals. Grizzly bears, wolves, moose, deer, mice, and squirrels are just a few of the animals that live here. It is also a place where, every summer, thousands of visitors come to see the mountains, take pictures, and hike the trails.

We are currently in the process of adding information to our website to help kids learn about the unique nature of Glacier National Park.

Did You Know?
Glacier National park was named for the glaciers that carved, sculpted, and formed this landscape millions of years ago. Despite the recession of current glaciers, the park's name will not change when the glaciers are gone.
