Glacier National Park centennial a success

Glacier National Park’s centennial celebration was deemed a success by park officials, who said increased visitation led to increased recognition of the region’s cultural and natural history.

Glacier set a record for visitors in 2010, with 2,216,019 people entering the park in the first 11 months of the year, eclipsing the prior record of 2,203,847 during all of 1983.

"We all feel it has been a success and the numbers certainly reflect it," Glacier Public Affairs Officer Amy Vanderbilt said.
