Glacier Waterton Lakes

In 1932 the United States and Canada decided to combine Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes to create the world's first international peace park. Located high in the Rocky Mountains of Montana and Alberta, the park offers a panorama of spectacular scenery, including: alpine peaks, hanging valleys, and rushing waterfalls. In addition, the park contains unlimited outdoor recreational possibilities, and abundant plant and animal life. In this video, magnificent scenic montages set to music are combined with historical and geological narrative to present a very appealing picture of this remote wilderness area. It is pointed out that the park contains over 900 miles of trails of varying complexity. Camping facilities are available, as well as a variety of grand hotels and lodges for those who prefer more luxurious accommodations. Glacier Waterton Lakes is a truly spectacular travel film which eloquently points out the need to conserve our wilderness areas. It also provides enough factual information to be useful in the classroom. Highly recommended for public library travel and ecology collections. (Available from: Kaw Valley Films, P.O.
