Crown of the Continent
The Wildest Rockies
Steven Gnam
Stretching along the Continental Divide from Banff National Park in Alberta to the Blackfoot River in Montana are 16,000 square miles of land: the Crown of the Continent. Photographer Steven Gnam celebrates the natural, human, and economic value of this ecosystem in the heart of North America’s Rocky Mountains—an area that contains public lands, provides habitat for a community of species, and offers corridors and critical linking zones for wildlife.
