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.
