Glacier National Park has a rich natural and cultural history. The park protects unique stands of old-growth cedar and hemlock, and a great diversity of wildlife. Created in 1886 following the completion of the Canadian Pacifi c Railway’s transcontinental line, the park enticed travellers to its uncharted wilderness and the area became the birthplace of mountaineering in North America. Today’s explorers will fi nd
heritage resources of national signifi cance, both historical and natural. The abandoned rail-grade, stone bridges and trestle supports, snow sheds and other structures associated with the railway may all be visited on self-guiding trails. Trails leading to spectacular glacier viewpoints were laid out by the Swiss guides for their clients a century ago – and are still waiting for you to discover the magic of the Selkirks for yourself.
Plan Ahead and PrepareRemember, you are responsible for your own safety.• Get advice from a Parks Canada Information Centre.
• Study trail descriptions and maps before starting.
• Check the weather forecast and current trail conditions.
• Choose a trail suitable for the least experienced member in your group.
• Pack adequate food, water, clothing, maps and gear.
• Carry a fi rst aid kit and bear spray.
• Tell somebody where you’re going, when you’ll be back and who to call if you don’t return.
• Travel with a friend or group.
• Be prepared for emergencies and changes in weather.
Stay on Maintained Trails• To prevent trail damage stay on the trail and avoid shortcuts.
Leave What You Find, and Take What You Bring• Pack out all garbage, including diapers and food waste.
• Dispose of human waste at least 100 m from any water source. Bury solid human waste in a hole 15 cm deep. Pack out your toilet paper.
• Natural and cultural resources such as rocks, fossils, artifacts, horns, antlers, wildfl owers and nests are protected by law and must be left undisturbed for others to discover and enjoy.
BackcountryA backcountry camping permit is required for any overnight trip.
Random CampingNon-designated or random camping may be permitted. Ask Parks Canada Information Centre staff for details.
