Glacier National Park was an unforgettable experience! I took a wonderful course to study the wide variety of flora (different types of conifers and shrubs) and fauna (bighorn sheep and mountain goats) as well as to examine the different regions of the park.

Driving over the Continental Divide, we were truly on the edge of America’s history!
Sincerely,
