The Place In Montana That Makes You Feel Like You’ve Stepped Through A Magical Wardrobe

Everyone who lives in Montana knows that parts of our state are so beautiful, they look like they’ve been photoshopped. And while our natural beauty is definitely authentic, there are some spots that look totally surreal. In fact, some of them look straight out of a fairytale.

If you ever read The Chronicles of Narnia, you may have noticed the similarities between the description of Narnia and parts of Glacier National Park. And you’re not the only one to notice—in fact, part of the movie was filmed there.

The Chronicles of Narnia is a classic collection of children's literature set in a beautiful mythical land.

If you've read the books or seen the films, it's really easy to see why Glacier National Park makes a perfect setting for filming Narnia scenes.

... we've never seen any talking wildlife at Glacier, but there are parts of it that definitely look otherworldly.

As Montanans, we owe it to ourselves to explore as much of this picturesque park was we can.

It is, after all, our greatest gift.
