The Glacier Visitor Mural

More than 800 visitors at Glacier National Park helped to paint this mural at the 1913 Ranger Station this past summer. This is the second mural created by visitors, both under the direction of park volunteer/artist Sheryl Mink. The mural will hang in the lobby of the St. Mary Visitor Center this coming summer. Park officials hope to have a third mural project to help commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ranger station. The 1913 Ranger Station is located near the trailhead for the Beaver Pond loop hike, across from the St. Mary Visitor Center.

Glacier's Annual Park Pass Features a Collaborative Mural

The 2012 annual pass for Glacier National Park features a mural developed by hundreds of park visitors and staff.

The mural, titled Touched by Glacier, was created by park volunteer Sheryl Mink and was painted by more than 700 park visitors and staff throughout the course of last summer. The project was located in the park’s 1913 Historic Ranger Station near St. Mary. Mink created the basic background of the St. Mary Valley while others added layers of detail and color.

The $35 pass is valid for one year from month of purchase. It admits purchaser and passengers in a single, private, non-commercial vehicle, or the pass holder and his/her immediate family (spouse, children, parents) when entry is by other means (foot, bicycle).

The original mural now is at the St. Mary Visitor Center.
