Page "Glacier National Park (Canada)" Paragraph 15

The interpretive program in Glacier and Mount Revelstoke National Parks is based at the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre at the summit of Rogers Pass on Highway 1.

This national historic site depicts the human history of the region through accounts of first climbs, last spikes, lives lost, and railway lines laid.

The Rogers Pass Discovery Centre is open year-round except Christmas Day, and Tuesdays and Wednesdays in November.

The centre is the only frontcountry facility open during the spring and winter, while the campgrounds, picnic areas and trails lie under a two-metre blanket of snow.

The centre includes a theatre, an exhibit hall with railway models, natural history displays and wildlife specimens, and the Glacier Circle Bookstore.
