Glacier's Early Days - National Park

Glacier National Park celebrates 100 years as a national park. Today, visitors to Glacier still feel the connection to the past when visionary people like George Bird Grinnell worked to preserve this special place.

Native Americans have inhabited this land for over 12,000 years. It is the ancestral home of the Blackfeet, Salish and Kootenai tribes. To them, these mountains have great spiritual significance.

In the early days of Glacier, you might find people doing many of the same things people are doing today. Horseback riding, hiking, riding tour boats, fishing and exploring the glacial landscape.

Four great historic lodges return the visitor to a different era. The Red Buses take visitors over Going-to-the-Sun Road, and historic boats like the Running Eagle and Chief Two Guns still cruise alpine lakes under some of the most beautiful places in America.

Filmed in high definition, this bonus feature is part of Finley-Holiday's new Centennial Edition Glacier National Park DVD. A portion of the proceeds from each DVD sold are donated to directly to Glacier National Park.
