YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (YNET) -- Once again, the National Park Service has made headlines in regards to yet another expensive outhouse project. This time, the attention is focused on Glacier National Park in Montana, where a $1 million dollar outhouse is being constructed in the backcountry, against the wishes of Glacier officials.
Designated as a national park in 1910 and located in northwestern Montana, Glacier is an expanse of high, rugged mountains in the Northern Rockies. The park is a favorite of hikers and backpackers, some of whom make use of the Park's two backcountry chalets during the summer season. The million dollar outhouse, along with a second one, will be located at the chalets, and will be replacing old, non-functioning outhouses... - Dec. 1997
