Glacier National Park

It is a living work of art, carved and honed by the forces of nature. Straddling the Continental Divide, Glacier National Park is part of an awe-inspiring landscape of towering mountains, cobalt blue lakes and windswept plains. Throughout the park's million-plus acres of snowcapped peaks, dense forests, pristine lakes and sparkling waterfalls are countless opportunities to create exceptional imagery. Across Glacier's sprawling valleys, the ruby reds, sapphire blues and citrine yellows of summer wildflowers can be so vibrant that the landscape virtually appears bejeweled.

With its exceptionally varied habitats due to distinct "east side" and "west side" climates, Glacier National Park is home to a wide variety of photogenic wildlife that includes pikas and marmots, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, trumpeter swans, bald eagles, deer, moose, and an important population of grizzly and black bears.

Starting on the park's west side we reside at picturesque Lake McDonald where, at times, snowcapped peaks stand reflected in the mirror-smooth water. While in the west, our other shoot locations may include Avalanche Creek, Hidden Lake and Trail of the Cedars. Heading to the east side we photograph the spectacular mountain landscapes and explore the transition zone between the alpine habitats and the rolling plains of eastern Montana. A morning boat excursion on the park's alpine lakes tops off a remarkable week of photography.

Staying at two of the great locations within the park, our group can easily access the best photographic opportunities the diverse landscapes, wildlife and alpine blooms that Glacier National Park has to offer.
