Logan Pass Visitor Center, National Park Service visitor center at Logan Pass, Montana, US.
Description
Logan Pass Visitor Center is a National Park Service information facility located at 6,646 feet elevation with two interior levels within a single-story structure. The lower level contains a Fireplace Room, while the upper level houses an Exhibit Room with views of the surrounding landscape.
History
The center was built between 1963 and 1966 as part of the Mission 66 program, which aimed to modernize National Park Service facilities. Architects Cecil J. Doty and Burt L. Gewalt designed it to reflect contemporary standards for visitor information.
Culture
The building shows how national parks moved away from traditional rustic designs toward modern architecture, using local stone and timber in its construction.
Practical
The facility provides restrooms, hiking information, maps, and a selection of books and souvenirs for visitors exploring the park. Keep in mind that it remains closed from October to May due to extreme weather conditions at this high elevation.
