Scrap Girls Digital Scrapbooking Forum: Viewing image August 2012 Swap for Lei -- Glacier National Park Page 1 - Scrap Girls Digital Scrapbooking Forum

Lei sent me such great photos that I decided to make two pages for the swap. This is page one. I learned a lot about Glacier National Park by visiting some websites and here is just a bit of what I learned:

Glacier National Park is located in the U.S. state of Montana, bordering the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. The park encompasses over 1,000,000 acres and includes parts of two mountain ranges (sub-ranges of the Rocky Mountains), over 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants and hundreds of species of animals. This vast pristine ecosystem is the centerpiece of what has been referred to as the "Crown of the Continent Ecosystem", a region of protected land encompassing 16,000 square miles. The mountains of Glacier National Park began forming 170 million years ago when ancient rocks were forced eastward up and over much younger rock strata.
