The University of Montana has a number of great digitization projects under its belt, and this particular one is worth a look for anyone with an interest in botany or alpine landscapes. On this site visitors will find a complete version of the book "Alpine Wildflowers of Glacier National Park, Montana, and Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta" by Jerry DeSanto. DeSanto was a former Glacier National Park ranger whose intention in this work was "to record personal observations together with information from the listed sources to present a complete and accurate picture of the flowering plants of Glacier, Waterton and the surrounding area." Visitors can look through the book at their leisure or search through the entire work via a helpful search engine. The photos in the book are exquisite, and even a few glances may make even the casual visitor want to visit Glacier National Park.
