Local Native American tribes call Glacier National Park in Montana the “Backbone of the World.” Logan Pass, the highest point on Going-to-the-Sun Road, is known for its wildflowers, including the bear grass shown here, which is able to thrive in scorched earth after wildfires.

Wide panoramas lead to the turquoise waters of Iceberg Lake, a tarn that sits in a cirque that was carved out by glacial activity eons ago. Even in the middle of summer, chunks of ice can bob in the Glacier National Park lake.

Hidden from most visitors' eyes, Bowman Lake—reachable only by gravel road—is tucked into the remote North Fork region of Glacier National Park. A small campground, usually uncrowded, is a local favorite.

Lower Grinnell Lake in Glacier National Park gets its name from George Bird Grinnell, an early explorer who pushed to get the park created. His efforts were rewarded in 1910, when President Taft signed the bill that established Glacier as a U.S. national park.
