  • Angel Wing and Mount Gould tower over blue-green Grinnell Lake and bear grass on the Grinnell Glacier Trail in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. Bear grass (Xerophyllum tenax, or synonym Helonias tenax) is a grasslike perennial in the family Melanthiaceae, closely related to lilies. Bear grass (also called squaw grass, soap grass, quip-quip, and Indian basket grass) thrives after fire clears surface vegetation. Since 1932, Canada and USA have shared Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, which UNESCO declared a World Heritage Site (1995) containing two Biosphere Reserves (1976). Rocks in the park are primarily sedimentary layers deposited in shallow seas over 1.6 billion to 800 million years ago. During the tectonic formation of the Rocky Mountains 170 million years ago, the Lewis Overthrust displaced these old rocks over newer Cretaceous age rocks. Glaciers carved spectacular U-shaped valleys and pyramidal peaks as recently as the Last Glacial Maximum (the last "Ice Age" 25,000 to 13,000 years ago). Of the 150 glaciers existing in the mid 1800s, only 25 named glaciers remain in the park as of 2010, and all may disappear as soon as 2020, say climate scientists.

  • Purple-blue lupine and red-salmon colored Indian paintbrush flowers bloom on Apikuni Falls Trail in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. Lupinus is a genus in the pea family (also called the legume, bean, or pulse family, Latin name Fabaceae or Leguminosae). Castilleja, commonly known as Indian paintbrush or Prairie-fire, is a genus of about 200 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants native to the west of the Americas from Alaska south to the Andes, as well as northeast Asia. Castilleja is classified in the family Orobanchaceae, and is hemiparasitic on the roots of grasses and forbs.
