UNTAMED BEAUTY

摘要

RIFFLING ALONG THE BOUNDARY OF GLACIER NATIONAL PARK the Flathead River's North Fork twisted and turned past cottonwood groves framing views of Rocky Mountain peaks on the horizon. I paddled my canoe across deep pools where cutthroat trout lurked. Grizzly bear tracks in the sand issued a warning: Camp somewhere else. In the places where the current calmed, I let my boat drift and delighted in the underwater cobbles-a mosaic of red, black, blue, and white. The water was so clear that it felt like 1 was floating on air. For me, traveling down a river is the ultimate way to experience the wild earth and its wonders.
