Glacier National Park, established in May 11, 1910, is located in northwestern Montana, on the Canada–United States border, adjacent to the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. The park encompasses 4,100 km2 (1,583 sq mi) and includes parts of two mountain ranges (sub-ranges of the Rocky Mountains), more than 130 named lakes, more than 1,000 different species of plants, and hundreds of species of animals.

Mount Rockwell (2,828 m, 9,277 ft) is located into the Glacier Park, in the
Lewis Range.

Two Medicine Lake is approximately 3.2 km (2 mi) long and 0.53 km (0.33 mi) wide. A short outlet stream connects it with Pray Lake to the northeast.
