The coin, one of five new coins honoring National Parks to be released this year, features a mountain goat surveying the high country with Reynolds Mountain in the background.
According to Glacier Park superintendent Chas Cartwright, “The design of the coin is one of the iconic views of Glacier National Park and will be very familiar to the thousands of visitors that drive over the Going-to-the-Sun Road each summer.”

Novel partially set in Glacier's Swiftcurrent Valley
Thursday, September 2, 2010 (registration required) Glacier Institute Course
The mountain goat, neither true goat nor sheep, now lives exclusively in North America. Despite increasing threats to their habitat, goats continue to thrive in what remains. Although mountain goats sometimes frequent lower elevations, their normal home is a stark alpine aerie above the timberline and sometimes as high as 10,000 feet above sea level. The rugged high country of Glacier National Park is part of that habitat.

Gear Jammer Reunion

Glacier Celebration and Gear Jammer Reunion
Glacier Park Lodge, East Glacier, MT
Red Bus tours have been an integral part of the Glacier experience for most of the 100 years Glacier has been a national park. Through sun, rain, snow, wind, bears, and adversity, Gearjammers have made sure that visitors have reached their destinations safely and provided them with a fun-filled informative commentary on the unsurpassed, gorgeous scenery. The unbroken history of gearjamming in Glacier is unique to the United States. To become one of the special breed of Red Bus drivers has always been a high honor.
This reunion affords former Gearjammers a Glacier revisit to recall their youth, renew old acquaintances, and a chance to revisit a park that was a pivotal point in their lives.
