Video of the Rising Sun Campground, Glacier National Park
With over 700 miles of trails, Glacier is a hikers paradise for adventurous visitors seeking wilderness and solitude. This entire area holds great spiritual importance to the Blackfeet, Salish, and Kootenai people. The Blackfeet Indians controlled the vast prairies east of the mountains. The Salish and Kootenai Indians lived and hunted in the western valleys. In 1806, the Lewis and Clark Expedition came within 50 miles of the area that is now the park. George Bird Grinnell was an early explorer to this part of Montana and spent many years working to get the park established. The area was made a Forest Preserve in 1900. President Taft, in 1910, signed the bill establishing Glacier as the countrys 10th national park. The final section of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, over Logan Pass, was completed in 1932 after 11 years of work. The road, a National Historic Landmark, is one of the most scenic roads in North America. Miles of hiking trails follow routes first used by trappers in the early 1800s. Several hotels and chalets, built by the Great Northern Railway in the early 1900s, offer lodging for summer guests to the park. Music by Maury Smith, copyright 2008.

Video of Island Lake Campground – Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming
The Beartooth Highway (U.S. 212), along the Montana/Wyoming border, is a spectacular drive that winds through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Well above the tree line the summit is reached at the 10,947 ft. Beartooth Pass. The Asaroka Range is visible on the horizon. Following the road down through a chain of glacial lakes on your way to grizzly country, you find a number of alpine forest campgrounds. The Island Lake, Shoshone National Forest Campground is at an elevation of 9950 ft. Further along, the Beartooth Butte with the deep blue Beartooth Lake at it’s base, marks another special campground. A side trip down the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway (Wyoming 296) will put you in touch with a special Native American humanitarian and peacemaker. This video includes all 20 campsites.
