national park geekery

The title is, of course, a reference to the fact that Glacier Nat'l Park was essentially created by the Great Northern Railroad in the 1910s as a tourist destination, in order to sell train tickets. Take a train out, spend a week riding horses between mountain chalets, take a train home.

(We generally skip the part involving horses, kthx.)
