Beautiful shots! I did the AMTRAK tour Chicago to Seattle with 4 days/nights in Glacier NP back in 2013. One of the nicest "canned" tours I ever took (I recommend it).

Beautiful images. But why do you call it "the other?" There aren't really two of them, are there?

Yes, actually there are two. The photos are of Glacier National Park in B.C. not the one in Montana. Even though this one is only 520 square miles in area compared to Montana's 1580 sq. miles, the B.C. park has more than 130 glaciers versus just 25 in Montana's.

That Canadian section is called Waterton Lakes National Park, and it is adjacent to Glacier NP in the US. My 2013 tour included it, and my photos of it are included here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8712554@N02/sets/72157635038691097/. At the border is a small piece that exists between the 2 customs stations:Yes, actually there are two. The photos are of Glacier National Park in B.C. not the one in Montana.

pathfinder, Waterton Lakes is a Canadian National Park--Provincial Parks are analogous to our State Parks in the US.
