GOING TO THE SUN ROAD, EAST SIDE NEAR LOGAN PASS, AROUND 1933. Before this road
was engineered and built, people crossed the glacial terrain on foot or horseback. Pressure to build
came from the surge of settlers brought by the Great Northern Railway to the borders of the park.
Snow 50 feet deep had to be cut through in order to construct this fantastic road. e name "Going
to the Sun" comes from Native Americans.

BUTTE MINE FRAME. Some of the richest veins of copper in
the world lay under the Butte hill. Copper was used in electric
motors, telephones, and power lines. As the world's demand
increased, Butte's mines expanded and dominated the country's
economy. e industry's kings, Marcus Daly and William A.
Clark, engaged in political shenanigans.

MEN WITH EARLY SKIS. At first skis were hand-made out of
wood. Metal edges were introduced in 1928. In the '30s and '40s
ski builders experimented with aluminum and types of plastic. e
'50s saw fiberglass and carbon fiber. Plastics reduced the need for
waxing. e sport got a reputation for injuries until releasable bind-
ings and helmets came along.
