Since 1997, the expression encompasses the same four parks as well as the Glacier National Park located where Purcell and Selkirk Mountains meet, and Mount Revelstoke National Park in the Monashee Mountains, all these mountains being part of the Columbia Mountains. 2, record 1, English, - mountain%20parks
