O R I N G Glacier National Park he words, "Heaven on Earth" are often used to describe a place of beauty and perhaps a spiritual escape. Nowhere do these words ring more true than Glacier National Park. In 1890, naturalist and historian George Bird Grinnell described it as the "Crown of the Continent"—a two-tiered idea acknowledging the triple headwaters of the continent that flow out to three seas, and mountainous formations that decorate the rooftop of Big Sky Montana. It is home to hundreds of glacier-carved peaks, rivers, waterfalls and streams and nearly 750 miles of maintained hiking trails. Its sheer beauty at its finest!
