KC Glastetter and Jeremie Hollman | Glacier National Park: An ABC Adventure

Published: February 25, 2009

There is a place in Montana where the grizzly bear is the boss and a road seems to go to the sun. It is home to over 900 miles of rivers and streams and four visitor centers.

While there, you can see snow fall in the summer and water seep from solid rock. You may also see mountain goats, deer, elk and an occasional black bear.

In Glacier National Park: An ABC Adventure, nature photographers KC Glastetter and Jeremie Hollman take readers on a letter-by-letter journey through the Crown of the Continent.

The letter H tells readers about huckleberries and the harlequin duck, which is fond of fast-flowing streams and migrates to Glacier in the spring. The letter W covers the western larch tree and the Weeping Wall, the rock wall along Going-to-the-Sun Road that oozes water.

With stunning color photos and lively text, Glacier National Park: An ABC Adventure is perfect for anyone fascinated by this wild and rugged land. Published by Mountain Press of Missoula, the book sells for $10.
