Remembering Robin Williams in Montana: His Visit to Glacier National Park
Scenes from the film 'What Dreams May Come' were filmed in Glacier National Park in 1996. The mythical love story, based on the 1978 novel by Richard Matheson, was directed by Vincent Ward. The film had many moments shared near the parks biggest lodge built back in 1915 known as Many Glacier Lodge just mere miles away from the border of Canada.
That iconic moment when Robin meets his star-crossed lover played by Annabella Sciorra in a boat on a lake was also filmed in the park.
The Canada Free Press describes Robin's beautiful picnic scene in the film:
Locate the exact spot on the hill behind the lodge overlooking the blue, wet orb where Robin picnicked. We did, on a beautiful, sunny, summer day years ago, glassing bighorn sheep as they grazed the near-vertical rocky slopes while distant Swiftcurrent Lake shimmered in the breeze and passenger boats slid across the blue puddle, back and forth and back and forth, and fairly fat fly-fishermen flung their frilly flies from the frothy fringes of that fair body of frigid water, for real.
At one point while taking a break from shooting the movie, Robin Williams took a red bus tour throughout Glacier National Park.
Robin Williams said of Glacier National Park, 'If it isn't God's backyard, He certainly lives nearby."
