Rocks at Glacier Park


I was intrigued by the interesting rocks at Glacier Park.  This mountainous area contains rocks and fossils from an ancient sea bed.  It is hard to comprehend how dramatically nature works over the course of millions of years. Some of the oldest sedimentary rock in the entire Rocky Mountain chain resides here.... 1.6 billion years old.  More information is available on the National Park's Glacier Geology website.

Glacier National Park

It was a great experience to hike some of the trails by Logan Pass at Glacier National Park this past week.  Amazing beauty.  It was sad however to learn that the glaciers in the park are disappearing.  More information is available about this trend at the following website, Retreat of Glaciers in Glacier National Park
