Glacier National Park is now on fire. Yes, Glacier.

California's raging Mendocino Complex fire isn't the only blaze overtaking the west right now.

Montana's Glacier National Park defied its name over the weekend, hitting a near-record-high 100 degrees, per the Missoula Current. And when lightning struck the dry earth Friday, it sparked another incredible wildfire.

The Howe Ridge fire, as it's been named, has forced the evacuation of a handful of roads and campgrounds inside Glacier National Park. The National Park Service hasn't shut down the entire park yet, allowing photographers to capture dramatic shots and video footage of the scene.
