One of the jewels in the national park system, Glacier National Park encompasses the dramatic landscape where the vast watersheds of the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Hudson Bay converge. Here plants and animals unique to those three basins come together, making it one of the richest, most diverse natural places in North America. Wolves, grizzly bears, and moose wander its woods and high alpine meadows. Western redcedar, whitebark pine, and glacier lily thrive and mingle on the slopes of its glacial valleys. Author and naturalist David Rockwell explains the evolution of the park's geology from the erosion of Australian mountains more than a billion years ago to the glaciers that gave Glacier National Park its distinctive landscape. He explores the natural history of the plants and animals of the park's six distinct regions -- the aspen parklands, the North Fork Valley, the McDonald Creek Valley, the subalpine and alpine zones, and the park's bodies of water. You'll learn about the park's great predators -- grizzly bears, mountain lions, and wolves -- and about their complex relationship with their prey. The result is a fascinating and intimate portrait of one of the world's last truly wild places.
