Cinematic serenity
Glacier National Park's Saint Mary Lake marks a meeting point of the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains—with all the topographical drama that entails. Bound by soaring peaks and smooth waters, the speck of land we see in the middle of the lake is a popular place to aim a camera. The monumental vista surrounding Wild Goose Island may also be familiar to horror movie fans—it plays a prominent role in the opening credits of 'The Shining.'
