Through the Woods

Photograph by Gary Migues

Rain dampens the forest floor along a trail in Montana s Glacier National Park. Located in the Northern Rocky Mountains, the crown of the continent spans more than a million acres of rugged natural terrain. Among the features preserved within its borders are lakes and forests, alpine meadows, and valleys carved from the glaciers that give the park its name.
