Today in History


May 11, 1910 - Glacier National Park established in Montana, becoming the 10th national park. I've only had the opportunity to visit Glacier once, and that was when I was a small child. My memories of that occasion are vague at best. I would love to go back, especially now that many of the park's namesakes are melting and in danger of disappearing altogether.

Also, if you haven't seen Ken Burns' The National Parks, check it out, as Glacier is one of the parks spotlighted in the series. http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks/
