at last, the beautiful Elizabeth Lake named for one of Joe Cosley's girlfriends (other lakes names for his girlfriends were Helena, Sue and Margaret). The weather would change in a couple hours but we made it in time to share our Happy Hour with the mosquitoes. They were really bad here. Our campsite is just to the right. You can see more of it in the video.

My name is Brian McClung, president of Glacier Park Books and Videos and author of several books on Glacier National Park: Belly River’s Famous Joe Cosley, Hooked for Good: The Passion for Fishing Belly River and Hiking Bear Country. I started writing about Joe Cosley when I was a kid growing up in Glacier National Park (NW Montana) and Waterton Lakes National Park (Southern Alberta).These International Peace Parks were the headwaters of my youth. Joe Cosley is still the most famous character in Glacier National Park and it is a thrill to share our books and experiences with you, our readers.
What made Joe Cosley a romantic character? He was a mountain man, fancy shooter, national park ranger, World War I soldier, war hero, Indian fighter, renegade, trapper, photographer, guide, poet, fancy skater, writer, tree carver, legend and all-around good guy.
Joe Cosley was certainly a romantic who not only gave flowers to his girlfriends; he composed poetry and named mountain lakes for them. Joe bought a large diamond ring for his true love Elizabeth and when rejected, he buried it in a tree and carved his initials to mark the spot. To camouflage his treasure, Joe carved his name in many trees all over Glacier and Waterton National Parks. One is featured in the Joe Cosley Exhibit now on display in Cardston, Alberta, Canada.
