Glacier Icons: 50 Classic Views Of The Crown Of The Continent (1st Edition) (Icons)

Synopsis

From the mountain goats who linger by the visitor's center on Logan Pass to the crystal-clear glacier-fed lakes, from the magnificent views from the Many Glacier Hotel to the old-growth forest landscapes, visitors will find much to ponder and enjoy within these pages. In 1903 writer, editor, and naturalist George Bird Grinnell expressed his thoughts in Century Magazine about this land he had come to love, calling the area the "Crown of the Continent." His image of and descriptive story about the magnificent glacier-carved landscape in the far reaches of Montana brought about the creation of Glacier National Park in 1910. Grinnell's description is apt, but it is just one of the collective descriptions that evokes iconic images of Glacier, also called the "Land of Shining Mountains" and known by many millions of visitors for their own personal stories and connections to its magnificent vistas and small wonders.Glacier Icons contains fifty chapters filled with thousands of facts and hundreds of full-color photographs of iconic people, places, events, foods, animals, traditions, and more from all parts of this great national park.
