John Woods, Photographer of the Nakimu Caves

Photo by C. Fox

John Woods became the Chief Park Naturalist of Glacier National Park in 1975 at the start of his life-long fascination with mountains. Exploring Glacier National Park inside and out took him to the heights of Selkirk Mountains and deep underground in Nakimu, one of Canada’s largest cave systems.

John has written two books about the area: Glacier Country: A Guide to Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks and Snow War: An Illustrated Guide to the History of Rogers Pass, BC. You can learn more about Nakimu Caves and see a cavern wall covered by moonmilk in Glacier Country. Both books are published and sold by the Friends of Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks (Link opens in a new window).Back to top
