Belton Bridge

Formerly known as Belton, the town of West Glacier once served as a major gateway to the Park. Beginning in the 1920s, Park visitors would travel here by train and then cross into the Park over Belton Bridge. It went out of major use in 1938, but made a brief comeback in 1964, when severe flooding destroyed other bridges throughout the area. It again served as the main westside entrance to the Park until 1966, when another bridge was constructed in West Glacier. The central concrete arch is all that remains of the original bridge.Read more
