There are many rocks and minerals in Glacier
National Park.
Rocks and soil under the water slowly harden
into thick layers of sandstone, mudstone and
limestone.
The ancient rocks of the sea belt that our
mountains have much less limestone and fewer
mudstone.
The varied colors of the rock in the mountains, including
the red green and maroons are the result of small
amounts of various iron minerals.
