Zooming into Swiftcurrent and Sherburne Lakes. You can see the Many Glacier Hotel below as well. It was, much to the chagrin of the Railroad, saved during the Heaven's Peak Fire of 1936: After the worst has passed, Omar Ellis sends a similar telegram to the Great Northern Home Office in St. Paul. He says, "We have saved the hotel!" A one word reply is received; "Why?" (Apparently is was after the depression and business was not all that good)
