Huckleberry Finn is a popular character in American literature and the namesake of the favorite fruit of the northern Rocky Mountains. The wild blue huckleberry (Vaccinium sp.) grows on both sides of the Continental Divide in late summer. Its tart flavor is appreciated by humans and grizzly bears alike.
Note: Huckleberries can be collected for personal consumption only. Glacier National Park's regulations allow the collection of one quart per person per day. Waterton Lakes National Park only allows hand-to-mouth picking.
