Sign Maker Dave Yeats prepares Glacier's new west entrance sign for installation. The new sign and base was designed by one of Glacier's Landscape Architects, Treff Alexander, and is meant to match the mountain profile visitors see as they approach Glacier National Park from Highway 2. Weighing close to 900 pounds, Dave Yeats constructed the sign from douglas fir and redwood. It should stand the test of time for years to come.
