Crown of the Continent The Last Great Wilderness of the Rocky Mountains

A professional naturalist's incredible, personal portrait of America's largest and most pristine wilderness in the lower 48 states: the Northern Continental Divide ecosystem in Montana, Alberta, and British Columbia. This vast area includes two national parks in two countries (Glacier in the U.S. and Waterton Lakes in Canada), three designated wilderness areas (including the famous Bob Marshall Wilderness, the largest in the lower 48) and numerous adjacent national forests and private land. The book describes the area's geology, wildlife, plant life, and crucial environmental issues. An extremely timely release because of renewed plans to drill for oil and gas along the Rocky Mountain Front.Waldt, Ralph is the author of 'Crown of the Continent The Last Great Wilderness of the Rocky Mountains', published 2004 under ISBN 9781931832441 and ISBN 1931832447.
