Glacier National Park is a 1,583-sq.-mi. wilderness area in Montana's Rocky Mountains, with glacier-carved peaks and valleys running to the Canadian border. It's crossed by the mountainous Going-to-the-Sun Road. Among more than 700 miles of hiking trails, it has a route to photogenic Hidden Lake. Other activities include backpacking, cycling and camping. Diverse wildlife ranges from mountain goats to grizzly bears.

​

The Blackfeet Indian Reservation covers 1.5 million acres of some of the richest wildlife habitat on the Rocky Mountain Front and is an integral corner that connects wildlife on the Front to the rest of the Crown of the Continent ecosystem. It’s a beautiful mosaic of native grassland, prairie pothole lakes, wetlands and aspen parklands. Hugging the eastern slopes of Glacier National Park, the reservation is vital habitat for much of the park’s extraordinary wildlife. In addition to grizzlies, the land shelters a rich variety of other wildlife and bird species.

The reservation is also home to a distinct indigenous nation, the Blackfeet Nation. To the Blackfeet, or Amskapii Piikunni -- the southern band of the Blackfoot Confederacy, they originated in this beautiful environment and have evolved with the landscape for thousands of years. Today, the Blackfeet Nation is one of the ten largest federally recognized Native American Tribes in the United States.
