Keep wildlife wild. It’s recommended to stay at least 25 yards away from elk or bison and 100 yards away from bears and moose.

Please don’t feed the wildlife.

Bring your binoculars and utilize observation areas to view the wildlife.

Ever wonder what the Many Glacier valley looked like before the hotel and other buildings were constructed? This photo taken by Fred Kiser around 1911 gives us some idea.

Construction on the Many Glacier Hotel began in 1914, but before that there was a small mining boom in the area that peaked around 1898-1900. Tales of great mineral wealth in the Swiftcurrent Valley had attracted a flurry of miners and settlers searching for copper, oil, and other minerals, but little to nothing of these were ever found and most claims, but for a few holdouts, lay abandoned by 1903.

After Glacier National Park was established in 1910, the Great Northern Railway started building visitor accommodations along Swiftcurrent Lake in the form of teepee camps and smaller chalets, followed by the opening of the Many Glacier Hotel in 1915. As a result, the surrounding mountains, such as Mt. Gould and Grinnell Point (shown here), look down on a different landscape today than they did in 1911.

Have you ever worn a uniform?

For NPS Fashion Week, we're turning our attention to the iconic Ranger uniform!

Designed 100 years ago, the Ranger uniform has remained largely unchanged ever since (for men, at least). Women in the NPS have encountered varying uniform expectations, including skirts, pumps, and a lack of a "stetson" hat requirement.

No matter which NPS site you visit, you'll always see the uniform. Flat hats and pleated pants, an enduring tradition brought to life each day by park staff—although sometimes "tradition" doesn't keep up with the latest breathable fabrics and modern materials.

To learn more about the history of the now-iconic ranger uniform, visit the NPS' Uniform Collection online, here: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/hfc/nps-uniform-collection.htm
