100 Days of Glacier

Photographer discovers beauty on daily visits to national park

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK - First there was the snow dumping on photographer Chris Peterson as he tramped over to the east side of Glacier National Park to photograph St. Mary on May 1, 2009. Then there was the black bear sow up a tree around eye level - she had shooed her cub up higher - doing all the threatening bear things and clacking her teeth at him across a big gully.
