Glacier National Park

George Grant photographed at Glacier, perhaps more times than in any other park. He visited there in 1932, 1933, 1934, 1940, 1941 and 1948. He also served as the official park photographer for the dedication of the Going to the Sun Road in July 1933. Also in 1933, he photographed CCC enrollees at work in the park.
