Glacier National Park in Canada is a wholly different park. The part of the US Glacier National Park that is north of the border is called Waterton Lakes National Park I believe.

And Waterton-Glacier is officially designated an international park.

Yeah, "National Park bordering Canada" would be more accurate. The Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park consists of (the US) Glacier National Park and (the Canadian) Waterton Lakes National Park. The (Canadian) Glacier National Park is 250 miles north-west, up near Banff.

That's in North Dakota. (And in the ND quiz.)

My biggest disappointment during a driving tour of the western US was Glacier National Park. It was beautiful with lots of mountains, lakes, and waterfalls, (and the terrifying Going-to-the-Sun Road where RVs take their half out of the middle leaving one to pray the car won't be forced off the road into the canyon far below) but I was expecting to see lots of big glaciers close up. There are only a few left - we could see a small portion of one high up in the mountains through a viewing scope - and, sadly, most are expected to be gone in another ten years. I wonder if they'll change the name of the park then to Melted Ice National Park?

Too bad. All the same, Glacier National Park is a place that I'd really love to visit.

The whole place is named not after actual glaciers, but because the Rockies there are primarily glacially-eroded, which is very rare. Most other US mountains are just wind- and water-eroded.

Why wasn't the company called Copperhead? That would have made more sense. Probably why they went out of business...

Actually, I always thought the Anaconda Company was in Anaconda, Montana, or perhaps at least started there. Thus the name.

The grizzly bear is a subspecies of brown bear and is also known as the North American Brown Bear. That should be allowed, and you should consider also accepting brown bear.

Good thing I've actually seen both of those Brad Pitt movies, or else I probably would've forgotten them.

It's a sad day when two of the questions in a Montana state quiz are about Brad Pitt

I don't think it's sad. They are both very good movies in my opinion and both capture the beautiful landscape of Montana.

Fair enough, I just would rather it highlight someone like Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to US Congress and the only one elected prior to the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

Could also add something about Libby, Montana, which is where a lot of materials with asbestos (which grows naturally in those same features) were mined and used throughout the world.

"Sweet Thunder" is an excellent Ivan Doig novel that takes place in Butte about Anaconda.

Shouldn’t the battle be the Little Bighorn? As in a small type of sheep, rather than a large horn?
