Description
2024 marks the 60th anniversary of the Wilderness Act of 1964. 10 years after the act was passed, 92% of Glacier was proposed to be formally designated wilderness. On June 13, 1974, Glacier's wilderness recommendation was submitted to Congress -- but it was never enacted. While Congress determines the status of the proposal, Glacier manages its recommended wilderness according to NPS Policy.
