The current Belly River Ranger Station with Bear Mountain in the background and you can also see one of the Stoney Indian Peaks.The Belly River Ranger Station Historic District in Glacier National Park includes several historic structures, including the original ranger station, now used as a barn.

Cosley was such a character: In 1910, when Maj. William R. Logan arrived to become Glacier National Park’s first superintendent, he hired Cosley and a rough-and-tumble group of locals to serve as the first rangers.
