This vast area includes two national parks in two countries (Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes in Canada), three designated wilderness areas including the famous Bob Marshall Wilderness. This book describes the area's geology, wildlife, plant life, and crucial environmental issues with over 150 stunning photographs. A great gift!

A feast for the eyes and the heart of the nature lover,
This review is from: Crown of the Continent: The Last Great Wilderness of the Rocky Mountains (Hardcover)
This book contains some of the most beautiful pictures of the northern Rocky Mountains that I have seen. The author becomes your own personal guide as he takes you on a virtual tour of some of the most breathtaking scenes of the area. In the writing he shares the different facets of the landscape, animals, and character of each area. With its exquisite photography, Crown of the Continent is a highly recommended nature book and a real pleasure just to sit down and browse through.

This review is from: Crown of the Continent: The Last Great Wilderness of the Rocky Mountains (Hardcover)
I live in Montana. Ralph Waldt expressed what it's like to live here and walk those trails and see the animals much better than I ever could. Oh, and his photos are just awesome.
