Graham Coppes, 27, a wilderness guide with Glacier Raft Company, walks thru part of the newly aquired 120 acres of the Doody homestead in Glacier National Park. “They don’t call it the last best place for nothing,” said Coppes of the area. The Trust for Public Land purchased the land for $900,000 and sold it to the National Park Service for the same amount. The acreage is designated a Wild and Scenic River Corridor and includes the original homestead of Dan and Josephine Doody, a popular historical destination along the Middle Fork of the Flathead River for tourists.
