St. Mary, Montana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St. Mary is a village located on the western border of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation adjacent to Glacier National Park (U.S.) in Glacier County, Montana, USA. The village is the eastern terminus of the Going-to-the-Sun Road which bisects the park east to west, a distance of 53 miles (85 km). Fewer than 50 people reside in the village year-round; however, the population increases tenfold on a busy summer evening. Several lodges, a small grocery store, two gas stations and campgrounds are located in the village. A large housing area for National Park Service personnel is located adjacent to the village, but within the park.

U.S. Route 89 passes through the village, which lies between St. Mary Lake in Glacier National Park and Lower St. Mary Lake on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation.
