Glacier National Park

Established in 1886, Glacier National Park of Canada protects a portion of the Columbia Mountains Natural Region, in the interior wet belt of British Columbia. The steep, rugged mountains, warm, moist climate and wide variety of plant and animal life are typical of this natural region. The park protects unique stands of old-growth cedar and hemlock and critical habitat for threatened and endangered wildlife species such as the mountain caribou, mountain goat and grizzly bear.

With over 400 glaciers covering one tenth of its area, is a stunning setting for some fascinating transportation and mountaineering history. The Rogers Pass National Historic Site is located in Glacier National Park. Rogers Pass was so designated for its importance in the construction and development of the country's first major national transportation route.

Park highlights include:

• Rogers Pass Discovery Centre
• Hemlock Grove Trail
• Loop Brook Trail,
• Illecillewaet/Asulkan Valleys (for hiking)
• Beaver/Copperstain Valleys (for hiking)
