Pursuit Proposes Glacier View Tram Near Glacier National Park
What happened
Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality submitted a special use authorization proposal to the Flathead National Forest to construct and operate the Glacier View Tram. The aerial tramway would run from Hungry Horse, MT, up Columbia Mountain, offering year-round sightseeing views of Glacier National Park and the Flathead Valley. The Forest must screen the proposal to determine if it meets public need and if Pursuit has the necessary financial and technical ability to operate the development.

Why it matters
The proposal requires the Flathead National Forest to initiate a screening process, which is part of the National Park Service's management of Glacier National Park. If the proposal is accepted, an environmental analysis and public involvement under the National Environmental Policy Act would begin.
