A rare glimpse into the hidden life of the stunning Rocky Mountains, Mountain Splendour features some of the most breathtaking footage ever shot in this unique ecosystem. Mountain goats perch on a sheer rock face; grizzlies court; alpine flowers thrive on stony ground; hot and cold streams teem with aquatic life--from the chub minnow to the moose, from the harlequin duck to the eagle, each creature featured in the video is an intrinsic part of the splendor of the mountains. The camera descends from glaciers to forests and wetlands, capturing the many faces of the eternal--yet ever-changing--Rockies through the seasons.
