As we weave among the red and green argillite cliffs, you dare not set your camera down as the tapestry of this dynamic landscape unfolds before us. On display is billion-year-old bedrock, scoured by glaciers that have carved peaks and valleys into what was once an ancient seabed. Here in this sacred land, known to the Blackfeet as the Backbone of the World, we find evidence of the first life forms to arise on our planet. Today, Glacier-Waterton International Peace Park, a single ecosystem spanning the border of the U.S. and Canada, remains a stronghold of protected wilderness. It's a photographic wonderland of meadows thick with wildflowers, cascading waterfalls of crystal meltwater, sheer alpine peaks and dense forests, home to mountain goats, bighorn sheep, grizzly bears and more. Capture the wonders on the Going-to-the-Sun Road and beyond with Photo Expedition Leaders who know this terrain intimately.
